Vincent Appleby, assisted by the Inny Farmer, reports from Lough Currane and the river Inny…
3/10/2024.  No reports and in the words of one Currane angler and I quote, I believe there were no boats out today but you can put a question mark on that, so that sums up today’s notes. Now to the weather, Wind moderate to fresh, SE, veered SSE, followed by good cloud cover all-day. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.1mm, amount of sunshine 5hrs.0mins, maximum air temperature 16.7°c. Amount of rainfall for the month of September 46.6mm. Staying with the weather, Kerry on an orange rain warning so click for the facts https://www.met.ie
4/10/2024 One C&R Sea Trout angler fishing late in the evening caught and released 9 trout, the biggest was in the 3lbs class. Wind fresh South, veered SSW, S, and overcast all day. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 6.6mm, amount of sunshine 0hrs.6mins, maximum air temperature 16.7°c. Staying with the weather, going by the forecast tomorrow will be a day for the high stool, with gusts SSE up to 72 km/h. Followed by heavy rain, amount of rainfall forecasted for Lough Currane is 65.0mm and as I always say that doesn’t include the amount of mountainous rainfall.
5/10/24 It was batten down the hatches as forecasted as the rain pelted down and followed by strong gusts up to 74km/h. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 10.2mm, amount of sunshine 0hrs.1mins, maximum air temperature 15.7°c. Back to today’s rainfall, will give you all the facts in tomorrow’s notes.
6/10/2024 Straight to the flood, the amount of rainfall was 39.8mm. That doesn’t include mountainous rainfall. Now back to today, as of yet no reports which isn’t surprising after that big flood and just for the record there was a fair bit of rainfall today, wind fresh South and overcast all-day. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall as already stated, amount of sunshine 0hrs,0mins, maximum air temperature 16.5°c.
7/10/2024 I start with the E.M.H Appleby Memorial cup, sponsored by Fogarty’s Centra, Waterville, and a great prize of a €100 voucher, which was won by local Currane Angler Mr. Mike O’Dwyer, for his great catch of an 11lbs. Salmon, caught on the troll. All I can say is My Father and especially my Uncle would be delighted that he won it, you might say why? well that’s classified. Now to today’s report, well as of yet no reports but to be fair to the C&R Currane Sea Trout anglers after that big flood the lake would be on the rise for three days and that’s not surprising with 61.6mm in the last three days and that doesn’t include the mountainous rainfall. Going back to the lake that doesn’t mean you couldn’t catch a fine trout. Today’s weather, Wind fresh South and veered Southeast followed by heavy cloud all day and a few heavy showers. I will finish by saying a big Thank You to Patrick Fogarty of Fogarty’s Centra, Waterville from the Appleby Family for supporting the E.M.H Appleby Memorial cup and the Waterville Fishery.
8/10/2024 As of yet the Currane angler hasn’t sent any reports but watch this space. So, on that note we go to the good old days, the year was 1966 on the Inny, I came across an old photo of my good Self on the spin, no flies just old age.  Wind NE and variable followed by good cloud cover and the odd shower. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 3.6mm, amount of sunshine 1hour.4mins. maximum air temperature.16.4°c.
9/10/24 You can say without of any fear of contradiction it was the Currane anglers day at the end of a rainbow as their flies and lures precured a few nice Sea Trout and there were a good few Brown Trout caught. NE and variable light to moderate followed by reasonable cloud cover. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 2.8mm, amount of sunshine 0hrs.6mins, maximum air temperature 14.5°c.

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
