We stay at the Bungalow and in the past week, Mr. Jimmy Keoghs, paid his last visit to Lough Currane 20 years ago and it wasn’t long before he made up for lost time, He caught 20 Sea Trout in the past week, ranging from Junior class up to 2 to 3 lbs.

11/9/14

11/9/14 There was a strong SE wind blowing down the Lake, which made it hard fishing on the North side and there wasn't much activity on the South side either, going by the telecommunications’   but at least two anglers, Wiebke and Mike, caught 2 Sea Trout in the 2 lbs. class.  Fishing with their Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com

10/9/14

10/9/14 There was a nice SE wind blowing down the lake, but sadly my Noble Anglers failed to rise my Noble Game fish in the blazing hot sunshine. So you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to work out today’s results.

9/9/14

9/9/14 We start with flat calm conditions this morning but this didn't deter Mr. Markus Kruse and his Gillie MD from putting their trolling rods out and it wasn't long before they had a rod bender, but sadly my Noble Salmon had the last laugh, but the same couldn't be said when they got their fly rods out for a bit of sport in the Sea Trout department, they met 8 Sea trout in total and caught 4, 2 juniors, 1 Sea Trout in the 2 lbs Class and finished their day off with a fine Sea Trout in the 4 lbs. Class. Staying with the Sea trout department Ms Wiebke Behnecke from Cologne, while fishing with her Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com caught her first ever Sea Trout weighing in at 1 ½ lbs. May it be the first of many. Wind flat calm this morning but come lunch time the wind came from the West, light with reasonable cloud cover.

8/9/14

8/9/14 Straight to the back date department, yes you have it I failed miserably in my duties in my reporting on the upper lakes, anglers fishing with their Gillie MD, on Lough Derriana yesterday 7/9/14 caught a fine catch, with 7 Sea Trout ranging from Junior class up to 3 lbs. and topped that with 20 Brown Trout. Now back to the present, All my Noble fly anglers could do today was sit and wait, reason being the lake was like a milk pond, with clear blue skies and the sun raging down, need I say more. On that note, I must apologise for the lack of information, but as you can see my Noble Anglers failed miserably in all departments.

7/9/14

I have spies every where

7/9/14 Bright Sunshine was the order of the day and very little action in the morning, reason being there was no wind come afternoon there was a gentle breeze from the east, the only bit of action reported was from Marc’s fishing party from Belgium and fishing out of Waterville Boats and at watervilleboats@gmail.com and in the words of Marc and I quote, 3 Sea Trout, Junior class. So ends our weeks fishing, and in the words of my satellite reporter it was too bright and as you can see by the photo there is no argument to that.                            

Sun set in Kerry

Going, going
