12/0/2026. Just four Currane boats out today, with only a few Trout reported. On that note, we head straight to the C&R River Inny. There were a good few anglers up on the banks today, all hoping to bank their catch‑and‑releases, and going by the Inny Farmer’s account he had no report of any Salmon C&R.
“Well Vincent, I may not have seen any C&R Salmon,” he said, “but you can bank it there were a few caught and released.”Just for the record, there was a good amount of rain this morning, with the amount to be confirmed in tomorrow’s report, and there was a nice flow in the Inny this afternoon. Now for the Currane anglers’ weather chart, Wind fresh to moderate, then gentle, then back to moderate, gentle, fresh, and finally gentle again. WSW veered SW at 6pm. Yesterday’s weather, Rainfall 1.2mm, Maximum air temperature 17.9°C, Sunshine 6 hours and 8 minutes

 11/9/2026. Just the odd trout reported, and one fine Grilse of 4–5 lbs caught on the troll. There were six Currane boats out, so we’ll head straight to the Currane Anglers Weather Chart, wind variable, light to gentle to moderate, with good cloud cover and plenty of sunshine throughout the day. Just for the record, a Yellow Rain Warning is in place for Kerry, see for the latest at www.met.ie/weather-forecast/lough-currane-kerry  Yesterday’s weather, Rainfall, 8.9mm, Max air temperature: 18.0°C, Sunshine 1 hour and 6 minutes

10/9/2026.

10/9/2026. Straight to the backdate, on Tuesday, Mr. Michael O’Sullivan and his guest had two catch‑and‑release Grilse on the Butler Pool. Back to today’s action, one Currane angler got off to a fine start this morning with a C&R Salmon in the 7–8 lb class on the troll, and come afternoon he followed it up in style with a 6–7 lb Salmon on the fly. Just for the record, there were four Currane boats out today. Now we head upstream to the Commeragh River, where two anglers were out this evening, no reports as of yet. As for the Inny, the Inny Farmer reports a couple of anglers were casting away, and yes, you’ve guessed it, no reports there either. Apologies for the lack of a Currane weather chart, came back late         .

9/9/2026

 9/9/2026. There were five Currane boats out on the lake today, with just a few trout reported. As for the world‑famous Butler’s Pool, one angler had two Salmon, both of which were safely released back into the river. From there we head to the C&R River Inny, where the farmer reports only a couple of anglers out and, sadly, no catches to report. Cutting across the valley to the C&R Commeragh, one angler was fishing there this evening, but again no reports of any action. Now for the Currane anglers’ weather chart, variable light airs to moderate winds from the W, veering WNW, W, WSW, SW, SSW, and back to SW, with light showers throughout the day and the sun breaking through on the odd occasion. Yesterday’s weather, rainfall 3.4mm, maximum air temperature 16.3°C, and 4 hours 7 minutes of sunshine.         

8/9/2026

8/9/2026. I got no reports from the Currane anglers today, and the Inny Farmer didn’t report any C&R Salmon either. That said, with a hefty 16.0mm of rainfall yesterday evening, you can take it as red that the Currane anglers had their Inny C&R hats firmly on. Now for the Currane anglers’ weather chart, Moderate to fresh NNW wind, showers drifting through the day, and the sun making the odd brave appearance. Yesterday’s weather, rainfall already mentioned, maximum air temperature 17.4°C, and no sunshine recorded.   

7/9/2026

7/9/2026. Three Currane boats ventured out today, and while the lake kept its secrets, the Inny was livelier. The Inny Farmer reported a good few C&R anglers working the river, though I didn’t hear of any Salmon being officially caught and released. That said, you can take it for granted that the odd fish was quietly C&R, the Inny rarely lets a crowd go home entirely empty‑handed. Now for today’s Currane anglers’ weather chart, a Fresh WSW wind dominated before veering NW late this afternoon. Yesterday’s weather, rainfall 5.6mm, maximum air temperature 19.2°C, and a grand total of 0.1 minute of sunshine, hardly enough to tan a mackerel

6/2026

6/9/2026. The Currane scene was as quiet as a church mouse today, and for good reason, most of the anglers had abandoned ship and marched straight for the C&R river Inny. As the Inny Farmer himself put it, “I didn’t see any C&R,” but as we both know, that doesn’t mean their lines weren’t tight. Silence from the river doesn’t always mean inactivity; sometimes it just means the anglers are keeping their cards close to their chest. 🎣 Currane Anglers Weather Chart, Variable wind, Fresh to Gentle, starting in the S, then veering SSW, SW, WSW, W, and finally WNE. Heavy cloud throughout, with light misty rain drifting in and out, and absolutely no sunshine to brighten the proceedings. 🌦 Yesterday’s Weather, Rainfall: 3.2mm, Max Air Temperature: 17.0°C, Sunshine: 1 hour 3 minutes
