Vincent Appleby is joined by The Currane Angler in this week’s reports from Lough Currane…
May 7, 2025. There have been no reports from Currane anglers regarding the catch of any wild Atlantic Salmon on this bright and sunny day. The weather conditions included variable winds ranging from light air to gentle, shifting from East to Southeast, Southwest, West-Southwest, West, and West-Northwest. Yesterday’s recorded weather data showed no rainfall, a maximum air temperature of 14.6 °C, and 13 hours and 14 minutes of sunshine.
May 8, 2025. On this warm and sunny day, anglers at Currane hope for rain that never comes, despite some promising clouds. Winds varied from light to moderate ENE, NE, ENE, SE, S, to SSW. Yesterday’s weather included no rainfall, a maximum air temperature of 18.0°C, and 13 hours and 9 minutes of sunshine. As anglers know, St. Peter was the first Pope and patron saint of fishermen. Today, we welcome Pope Leo XIV and wish him well on his pilgrimage on behalf of all anglers and the people of Ireland.
May 9, 2025. The anglers at Currane experienced a quiet day with no notable activity. The weather was mostly sunny with occasional cloud cover, but fishing lines remained slack. The weather for the day was characterized by light to gentle and variable winds from the north, veering W, WSW, W, WNW. The previous day’s weather recorded no rainfall, with a maximum air temperature of 18.40°C and 12 hours of sunshine.
May 10, 2025. I apologize for the error made two days ago when the incorrect video was uploaded. The intended video was not “The Loaves and Fishes.” We are now presenting the Mad Fishermen’s Loaves and Fishes video for your viewing. Regarding our update from Lough Currane, although there was plenty of bread, there were no reports of fish catches. This result is likely due to the bright sunshine throughout the day and the variable light to gentle winds from SSE, veering to S, SSW, SW, and WSW. Yesterday’s weather included no rainfall, a maximum air temperature of 16.4°C, and 4 hours and 7 minutes of sunshine.
May 11, 2025. There have been no reports from the Currane Salmon and Sea Trout anglers, indicating that their flies and lures were ineffective. The wind conditions varied from light to fresh, changing directions among WNW, WSW, W, WNW, NNW, and N. Yesterday’s weather recorded no rainfall, a maximum air temperature of 16.1°C, and a total of 10 hours and 1 minute of sunshine.
May 12, 2025. There were no reports from Currane anglers, which is attributed to the strong northeastern winds pushing the Currane water into the Atlantic. Today’s weather featured NNE wind and bright sunshine throughout the day. Yesterday’s weather recorded a rainfall amount of 0.1 mm, a maximum air temperature of 13.8°C, and 4 hours of sunshine.
May 13, 2025: There were no reports from the Currane anglers on this day. The weather data from the previous day include a trace amount of rainfall, a maximum air temperature of 14.9°C, and 8 minutes of sunshine. My apologies for not giving all the facts but was on the road all day.
