Vincent Appleby, ably assisted by the Inny Farmer, reports from Lough Currane and the surrounding area…

14/8/2024. Three boats out on Lough Currane and just the odd Brown Trout caught on the fly, just for the record there was nothing caught on the troll, so we will head across the Valley to the C&R report from the River Inny Farmer.

Hi Vince, just a Couple of fish on the fly and 1 Salmon caught spinning up high.

Wind moderate South veered SSW and overcast all day and humid. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 1.7mm, amount of sunshine 9hrs.0mins, maximum air temperature 17.2c.

15/8/2024. Firstly, we head out onto the lake and reel in today’s facts, 1 boat had 5 C&R juniors and 1 trout in the 2lb class and followed by a good few brownies. Currane fly angler while fishing on the drift caught a fine Salmon, sadly lost a bigger fish shortly afterwards. Now we head for the C&R River Inny farmer and his report.

Hi Vince, there was a big flood this morning, the late starters, produced the goods at least 2 Salmon on spin and 2 Salmon on fly.

Wind fresh to moderate WSW veered NW, NNW, NW, overcast first thing this morning but come the afternoon the sun broke through followed by reasonable cloud cover at times. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 2.7mm, amount of sunshine 0hrs.7mins, maximum air temperature 17.5c. Just for the record I will have the amount of rainfall on today’s flood in tomorrow’s notes.

16/8/2024. We head straight out onto Lough Currane, just the odd Brown trout caught on the drift to report. Now the Inny Farmer takes to the stage with his report.

Hi Vince, just one Salmon to report and believe it or not he lost it, I can tell you he was one unhappy angler, I said to him, so what it’s all catch and release anyway, he replied that’s not the point, all I can say Vince there’s no pleasing you anglers.

Wind moderate WSW and overcast. Yesterday’s weather amount of rainfall 6.9mm, amount of sunshine 5hrs.1mins, maximum air temperature 17.4c.

17/8/2024. We start with a back date from the Inny farmer.

Hi Vince, sorry for the delay for this update, I say this because I did report the fish but not the weight of the C&R fish, I can tell you it was in the 15 lbs class and caught and released during the week.

Now back to today’s action on Lough Currane, there were 9 boats out and just the odd Trout caught for their efforts. No reports from the Inny farmer as of yet. Wind moderate West veered WSW, W. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.3mm, amount of sunshine 0hrs.1mins, maximum air temperature 17.5c.

18/8/2024. We start with an update in yesterday’s report, just for the record one boat caught 4 C&R Sea Trout up to 3 lbs on the fly. Now to today’s report. All I can say is that the Currane anglers were all quiet, in the words of one Currane angler and I quote, no news, but don’t be surprised if there is a late update? Now to the Currane anglers weather, wind gentle to moderate WNW veered W, WSW, followed by reasonable cloud cover. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.5mm, amount of sunshine 0hrs.5mins, maximum air temperature 17.3c.

19/8/2024. The Currane anglers were all quiet this day, but to be fair it was wild out there this morning with strong gusts up to 78km/h, wind South veered SSW, SW, W, average wind speed was between 30km and 40km, So one can say it was fairly rough out there, mind you that doesn’t mean there weren’t manipulating their skills, they could have had there C&R Inny hats on because there was a nice bit of rain, it may have been a few mm’s but I will give you the amount of rainfall in tomorrow’s notes. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.1mm, amount of sunshine 3hrs.6mins, maximum air temperature 17.7°c.

20/8/2024. Straight to the action on the Commeragh River and you can say it was a case of the early birds that caught their worms, it didn’t take long before they caught a number of Salmon and Sea Trout, staying on the Commeragh there were two Salmon caught yesterday. Now we head down stream to Lough Currane and it was rough out there, one boat did venture out but as the wind increased, they came in early. Now we cut across the Valley to the C&R Inny farmers report.

Hi Vince, just two Salmon caught on the fly today.

Wind WNW fresh to strong, followed by reasonable cloud cover and heavy showers at times. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 16.5mm, amount of sunshine 1hrs.3mins, maximum air temperature 18.1°c.

21/8/2024. No reports from the lake and that’s not surprising because there was still a nice little flow coming down the Inny and just for the record the Inny farmer did report of one C&R Salmon caught on the fly. Wind fresh WSW veered SW, SSW, gusts up to 69km/h. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 4.2mm, amount of sunshine 7hrs.5mins, maximum air temperature 16.4°c.
