Vincent Appleby reports on the efforts to catch a salmon on Lough Currane. February started very windy, so it was Friday before anyone was back on the lake last week and then it got windy again…
3/2/17 There was just one boat out and going by all accounts my Noble Angler failed miserably in his duties. Wind SW light with good cloud cover. Amount of rainfall in the last 2 days 22.7 mm. The average temperature in the last 2 days was 10.1 Celsius at times felt like 8c.
4/2/17 Anglers still waiting for that elusive Wild Atlantic Salmon as they hammered the Norham Shore with the troll and the fly, angler’s did likewise with the fly but to all no avail. Wind Light SW and very cold.
5/2/17 Here are today’s facts and quote of the day all in one sentence from local Gillie of www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com No good. My first day out. Cold north wind, 5 boat’s
out. I will finish by saying that is your ration for today’s miserable action and l must apologise on behave of the angler’s, their lack of ability to catch the wild Atlantic Salmon.
6/2/17 Again the weather takes the headlines with a strong SE gale blowing across the lake this morning which made fishing virtually impossible, come afternoon the wind veered SW fresh, but sadly my Noble Anglers had already had called it a day by then.
7/2/17 Lough Currane was on the calm side this day and what wind was there was from the NW added with a few hale showers and it was cold out there. The only boat to report any action was local Gillie Mr. Eric Jouen of Waterville Boats and at [email protected] Eric reported to me that the only bit of action was in the Kelt department. Wind as already stated, air temperature 6 c felt like 1c.
8/2/17 You could say today was all wind and no entertainment in the Wild Atlantic Salmon department, as my noble anglers failed to entice the wild elusive Salmon and they call themselves professionals Mm! Wind fresh Southerly with showers air temperature 9c felt like 7c.
That is your ration from the last week on Lough Currane, from your Gillie and the Waterville Fishery, no spin no fly’s just facts.
