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. 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

6/9/2026. 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

 5/9/2026. Apologies for the delay into today’s report, I was on the road. So, just for the record there were 5 boats out just a few trout caught, the Inny farmer had no reports from the C&R river Inny.

 4/9/2026. Just a few Currane boats out and all lines were slack. So straight to the C&R River Inny we go. The Inny Farmer reports one C&R Salmon, and just for the record, there were a few anglers up there manipulating their skills. Now straight to the Currane Anglers Weather Chart: wind Moderate to Fresh, cloudy, with the sun breaking through at times in the afternoon. Yesterday’s Weather,

Rainfall: 8.1mm, Maximum air temperature: 19.05 boats out just a few tSunshine: 0.1 minute, yes, you read that right.
Now we head for a comment on my report of the 2nd of this month regarding the fish farms, and I quote:
Well said David, time to start all of Vincent’s blogs with a reminder to all of the immense damage these factories continue to cause. I would not call them farms. We need to keep up the pressure until the politicians realise there are votes at stake and the general public realise the consequences. Just for the record, well said, and I agree without any fear of contradiction.

Now we have a video in memory of John McSweeney RIP

It will bring tears to your eyes.

3/9/2026

 3/9/2026. No reports from the Currane anglers, and I’d say they had their C&R River Inny hats firmly on. Sadly, there were no reports from the Inny Farmer either, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t a few C&R Salmon quietly accounted for. Now to the Currane anglers’ weather chart: Moderate wind WSW veering SW, with overcast conditions throughout the day. Yesterday’s weather: rainfall 4.6mm, maximum air temperature 19.1°C, and the grand total of sunshine was just 1 minute.
