 30/4/2026. The Currane anglers were so quiet today you’d swear they were on a sponsored silence. Even the YAMAHA outboards were purring like they were afraid to wake someone. One could only conclude that rods, reels, flies, and lures were either missing in action or hiding in the long grass until morale improved.

As for the Currane weather chart: wind ESE, moderate to fresh, later veering SE — the sort of breeze that promises great things and then wanders off for a sandwich. Cloud cover was good, with the sun breaking through now and again just to remind the anglers what they could be enjoying if the fish would only cooperate.

Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.0 mm, maximum air temperature 

20.3°C, amount of sunshine 13 hours 6 minutes.

29/4/2026. The Currane anglers were as quiet as a salmon in hiding, and to be fair, the conditions were the same as yesterday, so nobody can blame the fish for staying off the grid. The only catch of the day wasn’t a fish at all but a stunning sunset photo taken this evening by a local photoghapher A proper C&R moment — catch the sunset, release a sigh, and pretend you planned it that way. In fact, the sunset posed so perfectly you’d swear it had been practising all afternoon.

As for the Currane anglers’ weather forecast: wind East moderate with bright sunshine throughout the day. Yesterday’s weather: rainfall 0.0mm, maximum air temperature 18.9°C, and 10 hours of sunshine — enough to make even the clouds take the day off.

 28/4/2026. The Currane anglers were forced to deploy their sombreros at full tilt today as the sunshine blasted down on the lake with all the subtlety of a Spanish fiesta. As for C&R reports — not a whisper, not a murmur, not even a rumour from a seagull.

So, with the lake quieter than a salmon on a diet, we head straight to the Man himself — The Mad Fisherman has his say on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8R0wYSh6y98

Now for the Currane Anglers Weather Chart: wind all over the shop — East, then ESE, then SE, then SSE, then SW, and finally W, as if the weather gods were spinning a wheel to see what direction they fancied next.

Yesterday’s weather: rainfall 0.0mm, maximum air temperature 16.7°C, and a blistering 13 hours and 4 minutes of sunshine — enough to make even the most seasoned Currane angler consider factor 50 and a siesta.

 27/4/2026. The Currane anglers headed out on Lough Currane on a hot, bright, sun‑splitting‑the‑stones day, with not a cloud to be seen from here to Timbuktu. In fact, it was so fierce out there you’d swear the Currane anglers had raided a Mexican market stall, because half of them were practically hiding under their sombreros to save their Currane faces from being roasted alive.

With conditions like that, it’s no wonder there are no reports as of yet of any C&R salmon — the fish were probably wearing sunglasses themselves and laughing from the depths.

Now to today’s Currane anglers’ weather front: wind from the NE, variable, light to gentle. Yesterday’s weather recorded 0.0mm of rainfall, a maximum air temperature of 15.3°C, and a glorious 8 hours and 1 minute of sunshine — enough to justify every sombrero on the lake.

26/4/2026

 26/4/26. Only three boats ventured out on Currane today, and to be honest, it was as quiet as a church on a Tuesday. Not a whole lot to report from any department — the fish clearly took the day off. Weather for the anglers: A gentle, wandering WNW breeze to start the morning, with decent cloud cover to give hope. By afternoon the clouds packed their bags and left us under bright, stubborn sunshine — lovely for sunbathing, not so lovely for catching salmon.

25/4/2026. All honours on Lough Currane today are most deservedly bestowed upon Mr. Daniel Dwyer, who, while angling under the expert guidance of the distinguished Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy, secured a splendid 12‑lb salmon on the troll.

For the record — and for those who appreciate the finer details — seven boats graced the lake, yet it was Mr. Dwyer alone who succeeded in persuading a Currane salmon to rise to the occasion. Now for the today’s Currane anglers weather chart, the weather proved most civilised: a gentle south‑westerly breeze, occasionally variable, drifted across the water, accompanied by respectable cloud cover through which the sun broke intermittently, lending the proceedings an atmosphere of quiet refinement. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.1mm, maximum air temperature 17.9°C, amount of sunshine 1 hour.

24/4/2026. Starting with a spot of backdating—and a cracking bit of news it is—five fine salmon were reported caught on the troll by Currane anglers over the weekend of 19/4/2026, courtesy of Inland Fisheries. You could say the lake was in a generous mood while it lasted.

Now back to today’s reality, and sadly the generosity didn’t continue. There were no reports of any C&R from the Currane, so straight to the Currane anglers’ weather chart we go. The wind came in Fresh and then let its temper rise, pushing on to gusts Near Gale, all under a heavy cloak of cloud. As for yesterday’s weather, the rainfall was a big fat 0.0mm, the maximum air temperature hit a respectable 16.7°C, and the sunshine clocked a grand total of 0.7 minutes—yes, you read that right, 0.7 minutes, hardly enough to tan a mackerel.
