19/7/2026

 19/7/2026. No reports from the Currane anglers on this bright and sun-soaked day, and by the looks of things, not a cloud in sight to give them cover. One might say the anglers were as scarce as a salmon on a scorching July noon, or perhaps they took one look at the blazing conditions and wisely declared it a day for the deckchair rather than the drift. On the Currane weather chart, the wind started light to moderate NE, later veering NNE. Yesterday’s weather, Rainfall 0.0 mm, Max air temperature, 20.7°C, Sunshine: 14 hours and 6 minutes in other words, a grand day for sunburn, a poor day for salmon, and a suspiciously quiet day for the Currane anglers, but we won’t hold that against them

Sneem River tells the story

16/7/2026. No Currane boats headed out today, and hardly a shock considering the conditions. So it’s straight to the Waterville Fishery weather report: a variable wind swinging from NNE to N, NNW, WNW, NW, back to NW, and finally settling at N, all under a blazing sun from dawn to dusk.
Yesterday’s weather, Rainfall: 0.0 mm, Maximum air temperature: 25.9°C, Sunshine: 3 hours 2 minutes
It’s been a fair stretch since we’ve had a Currane angler’s point of view on the wild Atlantic Salmon, and one thing’s for sure, the Salmon are feeling the heat as much as we are. Low water, bright skies, and a stubborn northerly don’t exactly inspire them to show themselves. Still, that’s fishing: the waiting, the watching, and the hope that the next cast will break the silence

Now Currane angler has view,I hear the draft nets have had a record year, filling their quotas in no time and with top quality salmon to boot. Yet we anglers aren’t allowed keep a single fish in September. How can that be right? The weather has been brutal for fishing, the rod effort is tiny, and still the rule stands. Meanwhile hundreds of salmon are taken in the drift nets, and we can’t keep even one. It’s a bloody disgrace, plain and simple. Tom.

14/7/2026

14/7/2026. There were no reports from the Currane anglers, and when the only word from a Currane angler is that you’d be better off heading downstream to the Wild Atlantic, because the Bass are giving great sport, that just about sums up today’s action on the lake. Now we head for the Currane anglers’ weather chart: wind gentle to moderate ESE, veering SE, all wrapped in bright sunshine.

Yesterday’s weather, rainfall 0.0mm, maximum air temperature 28.4°C, and a whopping 15 hours and one minute of sunshine.

Currane angler Mr. Bob White, RIP, always fished Lough Currane on his birthday, and today marks his Heavenly Birthday. Well Bob, you may be gone, but you certainly will not be forgotten. Your rod may be resting, but your spirit is still casting over Currane.

13/7/2026. Just one Currane boat ventured out from the North on this blazing, blue‑sky day. I’d say the suntan was fierce but the lines were slack, the fish clearly took the same lazy approach as the rest of the parish.

Today’s weather chart: moderate to gentle to light to gentle ESE wind, veering East, then SSW, then WSW, all under bright sunshine from dawn to dusk.
Yesterday’s stats: 0.0 mm rainfall, maximum air temperature 30.0°C, and a scorching 15 hours of sunshine, tropical Currane strikes again.
