Straight to the Fly department, Dutch Currane angler Mr. Tim Van Der laan on
his last day of his fishing trip to Lough Currane caught a fine 8 lbs. Salmon
on the fly while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Terence Wharton Junior. Now we
head for the trolling department and for good reason, Renowned trolling specialist
UK Currane angler Mr. Martin Henderson certainly put his words of wisdom and
advice to his guide while trolling today and fair play to his guide he
manipulated Martin’s lures exactly how Martin advised him and low and behold their
reel went off like a rocket and all hell broke lose, as Martin took the rod the
battle was on and I can say Martin had a good battle while playing his fine
Salmon and by all accounts it wasn’t long before his guide had the fine 11 lbs.
Salmon in the net. Staying in the trolling department, UK Currane angler Mr.
Mark Knowles, caught a fine 10 lbs. Salmon while trolling with his Gillie Mr.
Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com Now we head for the weather, wind ESE
veered SE veered again SSE light to fresh followed by good cloud cover.
24/4/2023 Just
two boats out but there was only one boat that takes all the headlines and that
is Renowned UK all-round Currane angler Mr. Mark Knowles, caught a fine 6lbs.
Salmon while trolling with his gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com Wind NNE light.
22/4/23 Good
few boats out today, but alas my Noble Salmon wasn’t precured this day, but to
be fair it wasn’t an ideal fishing day for the Currane anglers with flat calm conditions
for most of the day except for the odd light variable breezes and overcast with
the odd bit of sun breaking through. Staying with the wind, it was literally all
over the place, you take your pick.

Just two boats out today but at least one Currane angler hit the Salmon jackpot
and that was renowned Dutch Currane angler Mr. Tim Van Der laan who caught a fantastic
12 lbs Salmon on the troll, fishing with his Gillie Mr. Terence Wharton Jnr. Wind
ESE light to fresh and overcast.
20/4/23 The
Currane Anglers were all quiet today after yesterday’s excitement and for one
good reason, it was wild out there with a strong ESE wind blowing, followed by
bright sunshine all day. Just for the record only two ventured out today.

19/4/2023 There
were seven boats manipulating their skills on this bright and sunny day and
come 3pm the majority of the Currane anglers headed for home early, I believe because
of the bright conditions? What-a-mistaka-to-maka
and here’s why, UK renowned Currane angler Mr. Dave Ecclestone caught a cracker
of a 15 lbs. Salmon on the fly, around 5pm while fly fishing with his gillie
Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com
Wind ESE light and variable.

17/4/2023 I
start in the backdate department, yesterday there was a fine Salmon caught on
the troll by a young Currane Angler Master Fionan Brain while trolling with his
Dad Mr. Sion Brain. Now back to the present and today’s manipulations, there
were five boats out and by all accounts it was all quiet on the SW front. Wind South
light and overcast.
16/4/2023

Stroll by the lake and think of me, I’m not that far away, Know I’m where I need to be, I’m just gone fishing for the day, While by the water’s edge you go, Take time a simple prayer to say, And in your heart, I’ll let you know, I’m just gone fishing for the day, The last time you and I were here, A rainbow graced our lake-bound way, A sign that I am always near, I’m just gone fishing for the day.

13/4/2023 Great to see the Currane anglers back in action today after the wild Southwest storms and to report that their lures were in catching mode today, so straight to the action, first in the striking zone was Currane angler Mr. Noel Clancy of Waterville who caught a fine 10 lbs+ Salmon on the troll and Noel reported to me he had a good battle with his Salmon this morning and in his own words, nothing else after that. Now we head for the North Shore and Vincent’s harbour, Currane angler Tam fishing with his good friend and fellow Currane angler Mr. Éanna de Buis were in good form again today as you can see by the picture, they caught a fine 11lbs. Salmon on the troll and for the rest of the Currane anglers it was all quiet going by my WhatsApp. Wind NW and veered NNW light average wind speed was about 19Km /h and followed by good cloud cover. Yesterday’s rainfall was 13.2mm.
12/4/2023 Another
Wild day for the Lough Currane Anglers as they could only stand there admiring the
Currane waves hitting the shoreline so on that note we head for the meteorological
facts of the day. Wind NW Strong wind speed at 10 am 72Km/h gusts of 100 Km/h,
wind speed at 11am 70Km/h gusts up to 93Km/h, 12pm Wind NW 65 Km/h gusts up to

morning and veered SW, average wind

from the SW and veered again WNW fresh to strong followed
by strong gusts up to 45 Km/h and followed by heavy rain for most of the day
until the wind veered into WNW. Staying with the weather Kerry is on an orange wind alert tomorrow. Yesterday’s weather, amount
of rainfall was 7.3mm. As you can imagine today’s angling was done on the high
stool.
10/4/2023 In
the words of one Currane Angler and I quote, one boat out and very cold out
here, today’s results, nil, so have nothing to report. Wind West veered WNW
fresh to strong average speed was about 39 km/h gusts up to 52 Km/H. Yesterday’s
weather amount of rainfall 10.3 mm.
9/4/2023 All Lough Currane stations were at a standstill thanks to the wild wind coming from SSW followed by strong gusts up to 59 km/h. In the words of one Currane angler and I quote, it was mad out there. Back to today’s weather overcast all day followed by heavy rain at times.
8/4/2023
There were seven boats out this Easter Saturday and as you can see by the picture,
you could say the Currane anglers efforts to procure my Noble gentleman the
salmon sadly went down the Swanee. Wind SSE fresh to strong, followed by gusts
up to 52 Km/h Average speed 36 Km/h
7/4/2023 This
Good Friday may have been a good day for the sale of Easter Eggs sadly the same
couldn’t be said for the Currane anglers as ten boats headed out on to Lough Currane
and by all accounts their lines stayed slack. Wind South 37 Km/h with gusts up
to 48 Km/h.
6/4/2023 Local Currane angler Mr. Bob Priestly caught a fine 10 lbs. Salmon on the troll today and for the rest of the Currane it was all quiet in all departments. Wind North light and variable and bright and sunny.

4/4/2023 There were 7 boats out today and all was quiet on all fronts and in the words of the flyman of www.fishingwithdom.com and I quote, no good. Wind South light to fresh and overcast, come lunchtime the rain lashed down and still is, it will be interesting to see how big the flood is and staying with the rain the amount of rainfall for March was 185.9 mm and that doesn’t include mountainous rain fall.
3/4/2023 Just
four boats out this day and by all accounts all lines were slack, be it fly or
troll. Wind SSE fresh and overcast all day and that sums up today’s manipulations.
