30/5/2026

30/5/2026. Just one Currane boat out today and sadly no C&R Salmon or Sea Trout reported. So, on that note, we head straight for the Currane anglers’ weather chart. Wind was moderate to fresh from the SW, throwing in gusts up to 45 km/h for good measure. Misty rain took command for most of the afternoon before the sun finally broke through, a pity I can’t say the same for the Wild Atlantic Salmon, and the Sea Trout weren’t exactly queuing up either.

Yesterday’s weather:
Rainfall: 0.1 mm
Max air temperature: 17.7°C
Sunshine: 9 hours and 7 minutes.

And now your “one Currane boat out on the lake” joke:
A lone Currane angler was asked how the fishing went.
He replied, “Well, the wind nearly blew me home, the rain nearly drowned me, and the sun nearly burned me — but the Salmon? Ah, they didn’t nearly do anything!”

   

 

    

 

29/2026

 29/5/2026 The Currane anglers were as silent as a church on a Tuesday, not a whisper, not a murmur, not even a rumour of a rise. With no reports coming in, we’ll cast straight over to the Currane weather chart. Wind was a moderate SW veering SSW, giving decent movement on the water, accompanied by good cloud cover and plenty of sunshine breaking through to keep the photographers happy, if not the anglers.

Yesterday’s weather: 0.6mm rainfall, maximum air temperature 16.7°C, and 2 hours and 2 minutes of sunshine — just enough to keep the grass honest. Currane Joke of the Day.
A Currane angler walked into the pub looking miserable.
The barman says, “No fish again today?”
The angler replies, “Fish? I’d settle for a pull at this stage, even the midges won’t bite me.            

28/5/2026

 

28/5/2026. Just one Currane boat ventured out today and, by all accounts, every line stayed slack as a priest on a Monday morning. On the Currane weather chart, the wind was a variable, moderate South, veering SSW to SW, with good cloud cover and the sun breaking through whenever it felt like showing off. Yesterday’s weather: rainfall 0.0mm, maximum air temperature 29.6°C, and a blistering 14 hours and 5 minutes of sunshine, no wonder the fish were hiding in the shade.
As for the Currane reels, they were quiet enough to hear a midge sneeze. The same can’t be said for the Mad Fisherman, his video is anything but silent. Click, watch, and enjoy the madness.

 27/5/2026. Another roaster of a day on Lough Currane, and you wouldn’t need to be a rocket scientist to know the facts — but just in case anyone missed the memo, here they are.

We head straight to the Currane weather chart: a moderate and variable ESE breeze, doing its best to pretend it mattered, while the blazing sun took full command with only the odd scrap of cloud for company. Yesterday’s weather, Rainfall: None at all, Max air temperature: 24.7°C, Sunshine: 15 glorious hours. you could say
a day so bright even the fish were reaching for sunglasses.

Sea anglers delight 
Ballinskelligs Bay today

 25/5/2026.The Currane Salmon and Sea Trout anglers would have been well smoked had they ventured out today, with the sun blazing down on the Waterville fishery and temperatures hitting a scorching 30°C. Add in a light, variable ENE breeze that wandered off through SSE, SSW, SW, WSW, W, and back to WSW for good measure, all under a crystal‑clear sky, and you can understand why the Currane anglers wisely took it easy. Even the fish were probably sunbathing.

Yesterday’s weather:
No rainfall to report, maximum air temperature 21.3°C, and a marathon 14 hours and 7 minutes of sunshine — enough to make even the most dedicated angler consider a cold pint over a hot rod.

Ballinskelligs 

 

25/5/2026. Just one Currane boat ventured out today and, sadly, no reports of any C&R to raise the heartbeat. So, on that note, we head straight for the real question of the day: no flies, no spin… just poaching — what’s your opinion? 

Now to the Currane anglers’ weather chart: Variable light winds shifting from NE to ENE, then swinging S, SW, W, and finally WSW — a full compass tour for the sake of it. Bright sunshine ruled the day, as your photo proves beyond doubt.

Yesterday’s weather: Rainfall 0.0 mm, Maximum air temperature 18.4°C, Sunshine 13 hours and 7 minutes — a proper scorcher for May.

I’ll finish with a bit of Currane humour: A local angler said he saw a Salmon jump today… but after 13 hours of sunshine, he admitted it might’ve just been his reflection trying to escape.

24/5/2026

24/6/2026. Just three Currane boats out today on a bright, beaming, sun‑splitting‑the-stones kind of day, with hardly a cloud in sight — and I’m afraid I can say the very same for the Salmon and Sea Trout. The Currane anglers were more sunbathing than striking, but sure that’s fishing for you.

Now to the Currane weather chart: wind gentle to moderate from the South, later veering SSW. Yesterday’s weather: no rainfall, maximum air temperature 16.1°C, and 6 hours and 4 minutes of glorious sunshine.

And for today’s comedy ending: One angler said the lake was so calm and the fish so scarce that he considered trolling a mirror just to see something moving under the boat. I told him not to worry — with his luck, he’d only catch his own reflection looking disappointed
