Lough Currane quieter than a heron with a hangover
another quiet week passes for Currane’s salmon anglers. Conditions were not too bad at all (until the recent blazing sunshine set in) with a a good push of wind on the lake most days. There were times when it was a frustrating experience and on Thursday anglers got a good soaking and on a more than one day they were led a merry dance by an ever shifting wind.
A good summary of the recent sunny weather, as temperatures hit 30°C, came from Vincent Appleby who quipped, “A local angler said he saw a Salmon jump today… but after 13 hours of sunshine, he admitted it might’ve just been his reflection trying to escape.” I also have to thank Vincent for the headline on today’s report. My Noble Gentleman has quite a way with words.
