Vincent Appleby reports from Lough Currane…

17/7/2024. I didn’t hear of any catches, be it C&R, fly or troll, so on that note I will head straight to the Currane anglers weather. Wind strong followed by good cloud cover. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.0mm, amount of sunshine 7hrs.8mins, maximum air temperature 17.8°C.

18/7/24. I didn’t hear of any reports of any Salmon caught or released or any C&R Sea Trout. Wind North light, followed by some cloud cover, amount of rainfall 6.8mm, amount of sunshine 7hrs.2mins, maximum air temperature 18.2°C.

19/7/2024. So far, I didn’t hear of any catches or releases. Wind South light followed by good cloud cover, followed by rain.

20/7/2024. Just for the record all my lines were all quiet but as I say that the Currane anglers could have seen some good action? but time will tell. Wind fresh, North veered NNW and bright sunshine for most of the day.

21/7/24. The Waterville fishery did get a bit of rain but not a lot, in total 9.4mm, yesterday admittedly not a lot but saying that a walk up the Inny wouldn’t have done any harm. Wind fresh SW veered SSW, SW.

22/7/2024. No reports from the Currane anglers as of yet, so on that note we head for the Currane anglers weather department. Wind fresh SSW veered SW, W, WNW, followed by misty rain throughout the day. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 4.1mm, amount of sunshine 0hrs.1mins, maximum air temperature 16.6mm.

23/7/2024. No reports as of yet from the Currane anglers this day, you could say the reporting is getting as difficult as netting one’s fish but as the fly fisherman said to his gillie patience is a virtue and everything comes to those who wait. Wind North veered W, NW, W, WSW, followed by good cloud cover. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 1.6mm, amount of sunshine 0hrs.7mins, maximum air temperature 16.5°C.

24/7/2024. There was a small flood coming down the River Inny this morning so we will take it for granted that the Currane anglers had their C&R River Inny hats on? That’s all the news I have this day, now for the Currane anglers weather report, wind fresh South veered SW, WSW, SW, WSW. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.6mm, amount of sunshine 0hrs.1mins, maximum air temperature 17.0°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. This Bye-law prohibits the retention and possession of any sea trout (Salmo trutta L.) taken by any fishing engine or by rod and line in the Waterville area i.e. that part of the sea eastward of a line drawn from the most westerly point of Bolus Head to the most westerly point of Lamb’s Head and to all the waters discharging in to it.

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
