Fishing on Lough Currane was a difficult affair over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend with no fish caught on Holy Thursday or Good Friday and only one salmon on Saturday. Easter Sunday was a day of blazing sunshine with a light north easterly breeze and no fish were caught despite efforts, and it was Tuesday before things improved for salmon and sea trout anglers. Vincent Appleby reports..
22/4/14 There was some good action in the trolling department on Lough Currane today and first in the striking zone was local angler Mr. Brod O’Sullivan, who caught a Salmon in the 8 lbs class. Now for catch of the day and that goes Mr. J. Hamilton and his son, and for good reason, while fishing with their Gillie Mr. Frank Donnelly of www.lakelandshouse.com caught a fine 12 lbs Salmon and finished their day off with the first Grilse this season, weighing in at 6 lbs.
Now to the C & R department Local Gillie Mr. Bob Priestley caught a fine 6 lbs salmon on the troll and after a good battle Bob sportingly put my noble Salmon back to fight another day. Wind E then veered SE light and overcast.
23/4/14 Straight to the Salmon department, Mr Gerry O’Sullivan of Cork takes the headlines with a fine 10 lbs. Salmon caught on the troll on a Rapala. In the specimen Sea trout C & R department, UK Angler Mr. John Bojter, fishing out of www.lakelandshouse.com and fishing with his Gillie Mr. Mike O’Dwyer, caught a cracker of a Seatrout in the 7 lbs. class and sportingly released my Noble Sea Trout to continue his journey. Staying in the C & R Sea Trout department there were a couple of Sea trout caught and released by another boat but nothing that would hit the RTE news headlines. Wind SSW and variable with reasonable cloud cover.
That is your ration for the week on Lough Currane, from your Gillie and the Waterville Fishery, no spin no fly’s just facts.
