 17/8/2026. I’ll start with a quick backdate, one angler had a fine session yesterday, landing a few lovely Brown Trout around Church Island. As for today’s action, there were no reports so far of any C&R Salmon or Sea Trout, though a few nice Brown Trout were caught on the drift. Now to the good news, the Inny Farmer is in flying form, and with good reason. Over the past five days he reports a good number of C&R Salmon caught on both fly and spin, which is great to hear after the recent water.Currane Anglers Weather Chart:, Wind variable, light to gentle WNW, veering W, WSW, and SW. Good cloud cover throughout, with light misty rain drifting in and the sun breaking through on occasion, though how many hours of sunshine we’ll actually clock is anyone’s guess. Yesterday’s Weather, Rainfall: 3.6mm, Max air temperature: 19.0°C, Sunshine, 0.0 hours

 16/8/2026. The Salmon Currane anglers were all quiet, the Currane Seatrout anglers were all quiet, and yes, the Brown Trout anglers were all quiet. But, like last night, watch this space, and in this 2026 season there has been plenty of watch this space. Now we go straight to the Currane anglers’ weather chart: variable wind, Gentle to Moderate SW, veering WSW, W, and WNW, followed by light misty rain. Eventually the sun did break through at times. Yesterday’s weather: rainfall 0.0mm, maximum air temperature 17.9°C, amount of sunshine 1 hour.

15/8/2026. Just for the record, I had no reports of any C&R from my Noble Gentlemen yesterday. And before anyone says “same old story,” let’s rewind to the 13th. I reported that there were no rod‑benders, but one Currane angler was quick to put me right, and I quote, Not all departments, Vincent! We had a couple of hours in the afternoon until we were caught in the rain and had to relocate to Dooley’s. The top‑water trout fishing on Currane is excellent and always productive with good quality fish on every outing (so far). Here’s one I caught earlier!”

That certainly reeled me in and proves the Currane waters still have a few tricks up their sleeve.
Now back to today: the Currane anglers were all quiet, but as the old saying goes—watch this space, because Currane has a habit of waking up when you least expect it. The Currane anglers’ weather chart, Variable light to gentle winds from the NE, N, NNW, NW, back to N, and finishing NNW.
Yesterday’s weather:
Amount of rainfall, 0.0 mm
Maximum air temperature, 18.1°C
Amount of sunshine, 2 hours and 6 minutes
A calm day on the lake, a reminder from a fellow angler, and a promise of better bends ahead classic Currane.

Haulie RIP

 14/8/2026, There will be no fishing reports from Lough Currane today.

It is with great sadness that I record the passing of renowned farmer, businessman, and dear friend Mr. Haulie O’Shea, RIP. I have many fond memories from Haulie’s days running the Bayview. There was always a mighty atmosphere, especially when Haulie himself was behind the bar. I’d walk in the door and the first thing he’d ask was, “Any Salmon caught today?” And if there were photos, he’d insist they went straight up on the wall, and up they went.

Haulie was a great character, a pure gentleman, and a man who would never let anyone down. His loss will be felt deeply across our community. On behalf of all Currane anglers and the good people of Bunadreen North, Mastergeehy, Dromid, Waterville, Caherdaniel, and all of Kerry, we extend our Sincere Sympathies to his wife Ann, daughters Maire and Kate, son Micheal, daughter‑in‑law Róisín, sons‑in‑law Ciaran and Shane, grandchildren Lily, Rosie, Michael, Séaghdha, and Oisin, sister Peggy, brother John, sister‑in‑law Anne, brothers‑in‑law Jimmy, Mike, Joe, and Peter, along with his relatives, neighbours, and many dear friends.

May Haulie’s gentle soul Rest In Peace, and may his memory remain as warm and welcoming as the Bayview bar he made famous.

Rest In Peace Haule

12/8/2026. There were five Currane boats out manipulating their skills on this Solar Eclipse Day, and by all accounts the anglers didn’t catch nor even glimpse the eclipse of a Salmon or a Sea Trout. Low lake or not, it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if a rogue fish did show itself; yes, it’s hardly likely, but with a good flood on the horizon you never know your luck. The Currane anglers weather chart, Wind Variable, gentle to moderate SSE, veering S, SSW, and back to S again. Heavy cloud from dawn to dusk. Yesterday’s Weather, Rainfall 0.8 mm, Max air temperature 19.8°C, Sunshine: 0.0 hours

11/8/2026. The Currane anglers were as quiet as church mice in all departments today, not a whisper of action to report. So, straight to the Currane weather chart we go.
The wind began SSE before veering South, accompanied by the odd light shower, more of a spit than anything substantial. As for the sun, there wasn’t a sign of it, though sun or no sun, the humidity made its presence well known, Yesterday’s weather, Rainfall, 0.0 mm, Maximum air temperature: 20.2°C, Sunshine: 13 hours and 13 minutes
