Vincent Appleby reports from Lough Currane…
24/8/2023 All the Salmon headlines comes from Waterville boats and at [email protected] Currane angler Mr. William Harrigan caught his first 5lbs. Grilse /Salmon on the troll while fishing with his Gillie, may it be the first of many. Now to the backdate department, yes I failed miserably in my duties in reporting that there were 3 Salmon caught on the Inny last Monday and my apologies to the Inny Farmer, all I can say is, he wasn’t amused. Wind light NW and veered WNW followed by reasonable cloud cover.
25/8/2023 Just one boat out and going by my WhatsApp one would have to say his lines were slack? Wind Light NNW followed by reasonable cloud and the odd shower.
26/8/2023 Currane anglers were all quiet in all departments today. Wind North veered NNW light to fresh followed by reasonable cloud cover.
27/8/2023 The Currane anglers were all quiet again in all departments. Wind NW and veered NNW followed by showers.
28/8/2023 The Currane anglers fly lines and trolling their lures were all slack this day. Wind light NW and veered W and veered again WSW followed by reasonable cloud cover.
29/8/2023 The Currane reels were all quiet in all departments but on a less negative note the Mad Fisherman had another of his fishing adventures catching plenty of pretty brown trout under Kerry’s rainbows.
30/8/2023 The Currane anglers were again all quiet on this calm day as you can see by the photos. Wind SE light to calm and variable.

The Bye-Law mainly affects seatrout fishing on :-
- the river Inny (Knockmoyle) and its tributaries
- the waters of the Waterville system, including the Waterville River, Lough Currane, the Cummeragh River and all their tributary rivers and lakes
- the waters of Ballinskelligs Bay
FLEKSI
A new online survey has been developed by IFI for the Currane catchment to gather anglers’ knowledge – the survey method called FLEKSI was developed by IFI to help give an insight into the status of the fishery. Currane Anglers are needed for Citizen Science survey to examine fish stocks
