5/6/2026. As of this morning and afternoon there were no reports to raise the Currane eyebrows, so it’s straight to the Currane Anglers Weather Chart. Wind was variable SSW, veering S to SSW, and throwing in gusts up to 60 km/h for good measure. As for liquid refreshment from above, there was a fair drop of rain this evening, enough to keep the wellies honest.
Yesterday’s weather, amount of Rainfall 5.0 mm, Maximum air temperature 13.5°C.
Just for the record, I was reading the Inland Fisheries Ireland Angling Update this evening. Over the Bank Holiday there were two Salmon reported and three C&R Sea Trout up to 3 lbs.

3/6/2026. Lough Currane was far too wild to even contemplate venturing out, and for good reason. A strong, variable wind hammered the lake, WSW, W, back to WSW, all accompanied by fierce gusts. There was good cloud cover throughout, with the sun breaking through now and again just to prove it was still there.Yesterday’s weather: rainfall measured 0.8mm, the maximum air temperature reached 14.4°C, and the sunshine amounted to a grand total of 0.2 minutes, barely enough to light a pipe.

2/6/2026. There were no reports of any Currane boats out today, so we’ll take it that all was quiet on the angling front. With that, we head straight for the Currane weather chart: wind moderate NW veering WNW, accompanied by good cloud cover, and if the sun did manage to break through, it certainly didn’t overstay its welcome. Yesterday’s weather: rainfall 15.8mm, maximum air temperature 15.8°C, and sunshine none. Just for the record, if there’s a late report, I’ll update with a Currane Angling News Flash. At least 1 fish caught on the troll  2 boats out

1/6/2026. Just two Currane boats ventured out today and, with no reports on their manipulations, I’ll take it as gospel that their lines were slack and their reels silent the Currane choir was clearly not in a singing mood.
News just in: over the Bank Holiday there were a fair few brownies caught and a couple of seatrout met for good measure, so at least someone was doing the business while today’s anglers were perfecting the ancient art of practising patience.
Now for the Currane Weather Chart: a variable, moderate WSW wind, good cloud cover throughout, and misty rain drifting across the lake like a shy guest who refuses to leave.
Yesterday’s Weather, Rainfall: 3.2 mm, Maximum air temperature: 16.7°C, Sunshine: 0.2 minutes. May Total Rainfall 81.0 mm.

30/5/2026. Just one Currane boat out today and sadly no C&R Salmon or Sea Trout reported. So, on that note, we head straight for the Currane anglers’ weather chart. Wind was moderate to fresh from the SW, throwing in gusts up to 45 km/h for good measure. Misty rain took command for most of the afternoon before the sun finally broke through, a pity I can’t say the same for the Wild Atlantic Salmon, and the Sea Trout weren’t exactly queuing up either.

Yesterday’s weather:
Rainfall: 0.1 mm
Max air temperature: 17.7°C
Sunshine: 9 hours and 7 minutes.

And now your “one Currane boat out on the lake” joke:
A lone Currane angler was asked how the fishing went.
He replied, “Well, the wind nearly blew me home, the rain nearly drowned me, and the sun nearly burned me — but the Salmon? Ah, they didn’t nearly do anything!”

   

 

    

 

29/2026

 29/5/2026 The Currane anglers were as silent as a church on a Tuesday, not a whisper, not a murmur, not even a rumour of a rise. With no reports coming in, we’ll cast straight over to the Currane weather chart. Wind was a moderate SW veering SSW, giving decent movement on the water, accompanied by good cloud cover and plenty of sunshine breaking through to keep the photographers happy, if not the anglers.

Yesterday’s weather: 0.6mm rainfall, maximum air temperature 16.7°C, and 2 hours and 2 minutes of sunshine — just enough to keep the grass honest. Currane Joke of the Day.
A Currane angler walked into the pub looking miserable.
The barman says, “No fish again today?”
The angler replies, “Fish? I’d settle for a pull at this stage, even the midges won’t bite me.            

28/5/2026

 

28/5/2026. Just one Currane boat ventured out today and, by all accounts, every line stayed slack as a priest on a Monday morning. On the Currane weather chart, the wind was a variable, moderate South, veering SSW to SW, with good cloud cover and the sun breaking through whenever it felt like showing off. Yesterday’s weather: rainfall 0.0mm, maximum air temperature 29.6°C, and a blistering 14 hours and 5 minutes of sunshine, no wonder the fish were hiding in the shade.
As for the Currane reels, they were quiet enough to hear a midge sneeze. The same can’t be said for the Mad Fisherman, his video is anything but silent. Click, watch, and enjoy the madness.
