30/9/2026. Straight from the Inny Farmer, great action on the Inny, with at least five salmon released. James and Michael MacSwiney added to the excitement with four C&R salmon on the Waterville system, the best tipping the scales at 11 lbs during their couple of days in Waterville. Now straight to the Currane anglers’ weather chart on this final day of the 2026 Salmon season. Wind fresh SW, veering WSW, followed by good sunshine at times as cloud gradually took charge in the afternoon.

Yesterday’s weather: rainfall 18.0mm, maximum air temperature 19.3°C, sunshine a mere 0.2 minutes. I’d like to finish the 2026 season with a personal note. I must apologise to all my readers, but at least I have a reasonable excuse: you can blame the lack of My Noble Salmon and Seatrout. A big thank you to the Mad Fisherman for his great videos throughout the season, and to Mr. Myles Kelly and the team in Inland Fisheries. Last but certainly not least, thank you, the good people who read my notes every night. I greatly appreciate your support and look forward to the 2027 season. Just for the record, there are still 12 days left of C&R Seatrout and Brown Trout.

29/9/2026. In the words of one seasoned Currane angler, it was wicked out there. Violent SE winds veering SSE, hammering the lake with gusts hitting 103 km/h, absolutely no chance of heading out, or as the old saying goes, not on your nelly. Rainfall at 2 p.m. stood at 1.2mm, though it may well be higher once you factor in the mountainous runoff. Yesterday’s weather, Rainfall, 0.3mm, Maximum air temperature, 17.1°C, sunshine, 4 hours and 3 minutes.

26/9/2026

 26/9/2026. No reports on today’s action as of yet, so it’s straight to the Currane Anglers Weather Chart. A moderate SW breeze veered SSW and then politely wandered back again, all under good cloud cover with plenty of sunshine breaking through the gaps. Now we head for the yellow rain warning for Waterville, forecasting 16.2mm early in the morning, so you can take it for granted the Inny C&R anglers will have their hats firmly on, and the same goes for the C&R Commeragh crew. Yesterday’s weather, Rainfall, 0.1mm Maximum air temperature, 17.4°C, Sunshine, 5 hours 2 minutes.The Waterville / Lough Currane Weather Chart, signed, sealed, and delivered. www.met.ie/weather-forecast/lough-currane-kerry

25/9/2026. Just one Seatrout and a few Brown Trout were C&R on the drift. On to the Currane anglers’ weather chart, wind Gentle to Moderate West, veering WSW just like that, accompanied by good cloud cover, the odd shower, and a fair bit of sunshine. Yesterday’s weather, rainfall 3.8mm, maximum air temperature 17.2°C, amount of sunshine 0.0 hours. And just for the record, Irish Angling Update reports that five Salmon were caught on Currane last week.

 24/0/2026. The Lough Currane anglers were all quiet today, though as I always say, there could well have been a few catch‑and‑releases slipping under the radar. On that note, we head straight to the Mad Fisherman’s funny fishing video www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_EU5x-fuV4Now for the Currane anglers’ weather chart, wind moderate to fresh, heavy cloud cover throughout, with the sun breaking through on occasion. Yesterday’s weather, amount rainfall 0.7mm, maximum air temperature 17.1°C, and 7 hours and 6 minutes of sunshine

23/9/2026.

 23/9/2026. No reports from the Currane anglers on today’s action, so on that note we head straight to Appleby’s Currane Weather Chart. A variable gentle North wind did its best to keep everyone guessing, veering NNE, NNW, W, and finally SW, a proper merry‑go‑round of directions. This was accompanied by a fine mixture of sunshine and cloud cover, the sort of day where you’re never quite sure whether to reach for the sunglasses or the raincoat. Yesterday’s weather: rainfall 1.2mm, maximum air temperature 19.2°C, and, wait for it, 0.9 minutes of sunshine.  

22/9/2026
