9/7/2026

 9/7/2026. Three Currane boats ventured out today, but alas, their lines spent the whole shift doing impressions of a wet shoelace, slack from dawn to dusk. As for the weather, it was a classic Currane conundrum, light to gentle variable winds flicking between WNW, West, and back again, all under a blazing canopy of bright sunshine that refused to budge. Yesterday’s weather, amount of raimfall 0.5mm, Maximum air temperature: 19.5°C, Sunshine: 5 hours 4 minutes. In short, the lake was calm, the sky was smug, and the anglers were left muttering into their reels. Anglers’ Hot Day Joke of the Day:

Why did the Currane angler bring a frying pan out on the boat?
Because with that sunshine, it was the only chance he had of catching something, even if it was just a fried egg.

6/7/2926

6/7/2026. The Currane anglers’ binoculars were as blank as their reels today, with not a hint of action to raise the heartbeat or the hopes. As for the weather, the chart tells its own story, a light to gentle SW breeze veering WSW, keeping the lake in a mild, unhurried mood. Low cloud dominated overhead, though the sun did manage to slip through now and again, just enough to remind everyone it still existed. Yesterday’s weather facts, 1.0 hours of sunshine and a maximum air temperature of 18.1°C. hardly tropical, but enough to keep the anglers muttering about “if only”.

Conditions were dominated by heavy cloud at times, though the sun made several welcome breakthroughs as the day went on.

4/7/2026. No reports from the Currane anglers, but that doesn’t mean that my Noble Salmon or Sea Trout weren’t C&R.

Now we head downstream into the wild Atlantic, and for all you Bass anglers, click. https://www.facebook.com/share/17jN1Ps5Gi/  Now we head straight back to Lough Currane and a very serious point of view and I quote, Hi Vincent, When I read your report last night, something came back to me. I was on the lake about two weeks ago, and as I was coming off the water I think I may have witnessed some illegal activity. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but after reading your report, the memory sharpened. I remember seeing two lads, and I found myself asking why they were out there so late in the evening.

 

3/7/2026

3 July 2026. The Currane anglers headed out this morning with six boats drifting and casting their lines, but sadly there were no reports of any C&R Salmon or Sea Trout. However, there was a bit of disserving news from one angler, and I quote: “Hi Vincent, I was around the Holly, looked like it was poached last night. Loads of old twigs and weeds floating.”
Not exactly the sort of message that brightens a July evening, but it’s on the record.
Heading downstream, one angler fished the Butler’s Pool, and as of now there are no reports of any C&R there either.
Now for the Currane anglers weather chart,
wind, Gentle SW, veering WSW, followed by heavy low cloud and misty rain throughout the day. Yesterday's weather amount of rainfall 0.5 mm,Max air temperature: 16.9°C, Sunshine: 9 hours and 7 minutes
