16/7/2026. No Currane boats headed out today, and hardly a shock considering the conditions. So it’s straight to the Waterville Fishery weather report: a variable wind swinging from NNE to N, NNW, WNW, NW, back to NW, and finally settling at N, all under a blazing sun from dawn to dusk.
Yesterday’s weather, Rainfall: 0.0 mm, Maximum air temperature: 25.9°C, Sunshine: 3 hours 2 minutes
It’s been a fair stretch since we’ve had a Currane angler’s point of view on the wild Atlantic Salmon, and one thing’s for sure, the Salmon are feeling the heat as much as we are. Low water, bright skies, and a stubborn northerly don’t exactly inspire them to show themselves. Still, that’s fishing: the waiting, the watching, and the hope that the next cast will break the silence

Now Currane angler has view,I hear the draft nets have had a record year, filling their quotas in no time and with top quality salmon to boot. Yet we anglers aren’t allowed keep a single fish in September. How can that be right? The weather has been brutal for fishing, the rod effort is tiny, and still the rule stands. Meanwhile hundreds of salmon are taken in the drift nets, and we can’t keep even one. It’s a bloody disgrace, plain and simple. Tom.

Derrynane Bay and Kenmare Bay.

 15/7/2026, Just three Currane boats out, and sadly no reports of any C&R Salmon or Sea Trout.

Straight to the Currane tropical weather chart. cloudy in the morning, followed by bright sunshine as the wind wandered lightly from E, veering ESE, SE, SSW, SW, WSW, WNW, and finally W.
Yesterday’s weather, Rainfall, 0.0 mm, Maximum air temperature, 26.4°C, Sunshine, 14

14/7/2026

14/7/2026. There were no reports from the Currane anglers, and when the only word from a Currane angler is that you’d be better off heading downstream to the Wild Atlantic, because the Bass are giving great sport, that just about sums up today’s action on the lake. Now we head for the Currane anglers’ weather chart: wind gentle to moderate ESE, veering SE, all wrapped in bright sunshine.

Yesterday’s weather, rainfall 0.0mm, maximum air temperature 28.4°C, and a whopping 15 hours and one minute of sunshine.

Currane angler Mr. Bob White, RIP, always fished Lough Currane on his birthday, and today marks his Heavenly Birthday. Well Bob, you may be gone, but you certainly will not be forgotten. Your rod may be resting, but your spirit is still casting over Currane.

13/7/2026. Just one Currane boat ventured out from the North on this blazing, blue‑sky day. I’d say the suntan was fierce but the lines were slack, the fish clearly took the same lazy approach as the rest of the parish.

Today’s weather chart: moderate to gentle to light to gentle ESE wind, veering East, then SSW, then WSW, all under bright sunshine from dawn to dusk.
Yesterday’s stats: 0.0 mm rainfall, maximum air temperature 30.0°C, and a scorching 15 hours of sunshine, tropical Currane strikes again.

 

12/7/2026

12/7/2026. No reports today, the Currane fleet was either bound for Croke Park or glued to the big Kerry v Dublin clash in the bars. And I can confirm the bars were in mighty form last night after Kerry’s good win, followed by a touch of controversy to keep the tongues wagging.
As for the Currane anglers’ weather chart: variable light to gentle NE breeze and bright sunshine all day.

11/7/2026

11/7/2026. Just one boat out from the North and no reports of any C&R on this hot sunny day. Wind light NNE yesterday's weather amount of rainfall none, amount of sunshine, maximum air temperature 26.2C⁰, amount of sunshine 10 hours 5 minutes.

`10/7/2028

10/7/2026. There were three boats out on the lake today, and sadly the Currane reels remained as silent as a church mouse. All lines were slack, and not a Salmon or Sea Trout saw fit to disturb the peace. As for the weather chart of the day, we were treated to light variable winds from the NNE, drifting about under light cloud, pleasant enough for the angler, but clearly not persuasive enough for the fish. Yesterday’s weather.
Rainfall, 0.4 mm, Max air temperature: 20.4°C, Sunshine: 9 hours and 4 minutes. And before anyone starts writing off July entirely, let’s not forget last week’s action, when Currane produced a respectable six Salmon and two C&R sea trout. Proof, if ever needed, that the lake still has a few tricks up its sleeve.
