12/10/2024. Just one good C&R Sea Trout caught by the Currane angler as you can see by the photo, there was a nice wave on the lake so I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a few nice Trout caught this day but that’s only my opinion, so on that note we go to a one happy Currane angler who won the E.M.H Appleby Memorial cup for catching a fine 11lbs.9oz Spring Salmon, sponsored by Fogarty’s Centra, Waterville, and a great prize of a €100 voucher and all was presented by Mr. Patrick Fogarty of Fogarty’s Centra, Waterville. Again, I must give a big thank you to Fogarty’s Centra for Sponsoring the E.M.H. Appleby Cup and a big Congratulations to Currane angler Mike Dwyer for winning the E.M.H. Appleby Cup. Now to Currane quote of the day goes to Mr. Patrick Fogarty of Fogarty’s Centra, let’s keep it going, all I can say is roll on 2025. Wind moderate to fresh WNE veered NNW, N, NNW, followed by the odd shower. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.1mm, amount of sunshine 5hrs.4mins, maximum air temperature 13.4°c. As I have being saying this for well over 20 years, well it’s that time of year again and yes you have it, first of all I would like to say a big thank you to you the readers of the Blog and my Facebook page and especially Mr. Myles Kelly and all the team in the Inland Fishery Ireland for their great support as always, this 2024 season. So, on that note I can’t wait for the 2025 Season, Happy Christmas to you all and stay safe and I’m looking forward to January 17th, 2025 and writing on The No Spin No Fly’s just Facts Zone.

Thank you Fogarty's Centra 

7/10/2024. I start with the E.M.H Appleby Memorial cup, sponsored by Fogarty’s Centra, Waterville, and a great prize of a €100 voucher, which was won by local Currane Angler Mr. Mike O’Dwyer, for his great catch of an 11lbs. Salmon, caught on the troll. All I can say is My Father and especially my Uncle would be delighted that he won it, you might say why? well that’s classified. Now to today’s report, well as of yet no reports but to be fair to the C&R Currane Sea Trout anglers after that big flood the lake would be on the rise for three days and that’s not surprising with 61.6mm in the last three days and that doesn’t include the mountainous rainfall. Going back to the lake that doesn’t mean you couldn’t catch a fine trout. Today’s weather, Wind fresh South and veered Southeast followed by heavy cloud all day and a few heavy showers. I will finish by saying a big Thank You to Patrick Fogarty of Fogarty’s Centra, Waterville from the Appleby Family for supporting the E.M.H Appleby Memorial cup and the Waterville Fishery.

 6/10/2024. Straight to the flood, the amount of rainfall was 39.8mm. That doesn’t include mountainous rainfall. Now we head for the backdate department from the Currane angler reports on the 4th October. One C&R Sea Trout angler fishing late that evening caught and released 9 trout, the biggest was in the 3lbs class. Now back to today, as of yet no reports which isn’t surprising after that big flood and just for the record there was a fair bit of rainfall today, wind fresh South and overcast all-day. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall as already stated, amount of sunshine 0hrs,0mins, maximum air temperature 16.5°c.
