13/9/2024 My apologies for no report today, so on that note we head for tomorrow’s notes.
14/9/2024 The early morning Currane angler reports that there were a few trout caught on the drift followed by 1 grilse caught on the troll. As you will see by the wind, why it was the early Currane anglers that caught the Salmon and Sea Trout. Wind SSW strong to near gale, gusts up to 61km/h and overcast all day followed by a good bit of rainfall. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 4.9mm, amount of sunshine 0hrs.0mins, maximum air temperature 15.0°c. N, NNW, N followed by reasonable cloud cover at times. Yesterday’s weather amount of rainfall as all ready stated, amount of sunshine 0hrs.0mins, maximum air temperature 15.9°c.
15/9/2024 Straight to the weather and for good reason, because there was 13.7mm of rainfall, so you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that my Noble Currane anglers would put their Inny C&R hats on. Staying with the C&R Inny river, as of yet I haven’t had any reports from the Inny farmer, the same goes for the Lough Currane anglers who didn’t have their C&R hats with them. Wind variable North, gentle to moderate, veered NE, NNW. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall as already stated, amount of sunshine 0hrs.0mins, maximum air temperature 15.9°c.
16/9/2024 We start in the backdate department, why because I failed miserably in my duties in yesterday’s notes, so let’s put the record straight. Hi Vince, at least 2 salmon caught on the troll and a few trout caught on the drift and on the troll. Now back to today’s Currane news, as of yet my WhatsApple is all quiet in all departments, so don’t be surprised if there is an update? Wind moderate South and variable, followed by reasonable cloud cover. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 1.6mm, amount of sunshine 6hrs.7mins, maximum air temperature 16.8°c.
17/9/2024 Just for the record the Inny farmer has a News flash, the stage is yours Inny farmer. Hi Vince, there were two C&R Salmon caught yesterday 16th of September. Staying with yesterday, we cut across the valley to the Currane angler and his report, there was 1 C&R salmon caught while trolling and followed by the odd Trout also caught on the troll. Now today’s action there were four boats out and just the odd Trout caught again on the troll. Wind gentle ESE veered SE, moderate to gentle SSE, S, followed by bright sunshine all day. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.0mm, amount of sunshine 0.3mins, maximum air temperature 18.7°c.

Sea Trout – Catch and release only
Inland Fisheries Ireland wishes to remind anglers that the Conservation of Sea Trout (No.7 or Kerry District) Waterville Area Bye-Law No. 971 of 2019 remains in effect.

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
