Lough Cloonaghlin
photo taken by
Mr. John Murphy

28/9/15 Lough Currane was on the wild side with a strong SE wind blowing down the lake and in the words of local Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com just got one Trout and it was hard work out there so on that note we will head for the upper lakes and in the words of local Gillie Mr. John Murphy, on Cloonaghlin today
Lovely conditions. Some brown trout but no sea trout, disappointing. Just for the record the photo was taken by John himself.  

27/9/15

27/9/15 UK fly angler Mr. Sean Smith caught a fine Sea Trout, I can’t give the exact weight because I deleted  his Gillie’s text but if my memory  serves me right it was in around the 4 lbs. class and if I am wrong I’m sure his Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com will give me a diplomatic kicking, else where, UK Angler Mr. Ken Towner, reported that the fishing conditions were better than yesterday but still hard going but at least Ken did have a good battle with a Sea Trout but sadly the Sea Trout won the day and that was his ration for the day and for the rest of the angling community, it was all quiet on the SW front. Wind SE fresh.
