Vincent Appleby, ably assisted by the Inny Farmer, reports from Lough Currane and the surrounding area…
22/8/2024 No reports from the lake or the Inny but going by yesterday’s rainfall of 10.8mm, you can put your wages on the Inny that they had their Inny hats on today, fish or no fish, so I will leave that to your skills and knowledge if you get my drift. Wind moderate WNW veered W, WSW, SW. Yesterday’s weather amount of rainfall as already stated, amount of sunshine 0hrs.2mins, maximum air temperature 17.4°C.
23/8/2024 There was a reasonable flood last night with 20.9mm of rainfall, so you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that my Noble Currane anglers had their Inny hats on today. On lakeside I would say the lake was on the dirty side going by the amount of rainfall. Just for the record The Inny farmer has been on the road. Wind moderate West veered WSW, SW followed by good cloud cover and the odd shower. Yesterday’s weather amount of rainfall as already stated, amount of sunshine 0hrs.1mins, maximum air temperature 17.0°C.
24/8/2024 All the Currane Inny anglers were all quiet this day? Wind fresh Northwest followed by good cloud cover and showers at times. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 3.3mm, amount of sunshine 3hrs.7mins, maximum air temperature 16.5°C.
25/8/2024 All Currane anglers were all quiet in all departments? but you can take it for granted they had their Inny C&R hats on. Wind fresh WSW veered West followed by good cloud cover and a few heavy showers. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 6.4mm, amount of sunshine 8hrs.4mins, maximum air temperature 16.1°C. Just for the record Kerry is on a yellow rain warning from Monday 3pm to Tuesday 10am. Approx. 29.2mm of rainfall forecasted?
26/8/2024 There were two boats out and no Salmon or C&R Sea Trout caught. In the words of one of the Currane anglers and I quote, “it was rough and wet out there” and just for the record the Bull rock is covered. On the Inny front, you can be sure there were a few Currane anglers who had their C&R Inny hats on. Wind moderate to fresh SW veered SSW, S, SSW. Yesterday’s weather, amount rainfall 2.8mm, amount of sunshine 3hrs.0mins, maximum air temperature 17.4C.
27/8/2024 No reports from the lake which isn’t surprising because there was another good amount of rain with 13.2mm of rainfall, as I always say you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know they had their C&R hats on, you could say their reels were loud, but their Catch and Releases are classified information? Wind moderate WSW veered SW, SSW, SW, SSW, SW, followed by good cloud cover and heavy showers at times. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall as all ready stated amount of sunshine 0hrs.3mins, maximum air temperature 16.8°C.

Sea Trout – Catch and release only

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
