23/5/2026

23/5/2026 There were four Currane boats out today and, sad to say, not a single C&R Salmon or Sea Trout felt like making the headlines. The lake was as quiet as a church on a Tuesday. Now, as we head for the good old days, I’ll leave you with a little challenge — can you name these three characters in the photo? Answers on a postcard, or better still, straight to the bar.

Currane Anglers’ Weather Chart: Wind: Moderate SSW, giving the lake a decent push but not enough to wake the fish from their apparent coma. Cloud cover: A respectable mix of good cloud and plenty of sunshine breaking through — just enough to confuse both anglers and fish alike.

Yesterday’s Weather Rainfall: 3.8mm  Max air temperature: 14.9°C Sunshine: 0.4 minutes — yes, that’s not a typo. You’d get more light opening the fridge.

In summary: the fish were missing, the weather was teasing, and the anglers were left wondering if the Currane stock has taken up remote working abroad.

 

 

 

 

22//5/2026

 22/5/2026. There were no reports from the Currane anglers today, and on that note, you can safely say there wasn’t a boat to be seen on the lake. So, it’s straight to the Currane anglers’ weather chart. Wind was moderate to fresh from the South, veering SSW, accompanied by good cloud cover and rain drifting through at times.

As for yesterday’s weather, apologies — your correspondent got back too late to file the stats, but knowing Currane, it was either too wet, too dry, too windy, or too calm for the anglers’ liking.

 21/5/2026. There wasn’t a whisper of a boat on Lough Currane today  not a ripple, not a rod raised, not even a seagull giving out. So, what can I say? Well, thankfully The Mad Fisherman has galloped in like a one‑man rescue mission with a brand‑new video, and I quote: “An Apple a Day makes The Donkey Bray.”

All I can add is: enjoy, and thank God I’m an Appleby — it’s safer than being the donkey.

Now to the Currane Anglers Weather Chart: wind moderate to fresh, with heavy cloud and heavy showers marching across the lake like they owned the place. A proper soak‑you-to-the-bones day.

Yesterday’s weather: Rainfall: 6.4mm Maximum air temperature: 16.1°C Sunshine: 2 hours and 8 minutes (though most anglers would swear it was only 8 minutes).

 

20/5/2026

20/5/2026. Not a Currane boat to be seen on Lough Currane today — the lake was quieter than a heron with a hangover. So it’s hey‑ho, hey‑ho, off to the weather chart we go. The wind did its usual dance, starting gentle to moderate from the WSW before twirling through SW, SSW, and finally settling on S, as if it couldn’t make up its mind which way to annoy the anglers.Yesterday’s weather: rainfall clocked in at 3.4mm, the max air temperature hit a tropical 13.4°C, and sunshine amounted to a whopping 0.6 minutes — blink and you’d have missed the entire summer.

19/5/2026

 19/5/2026. There were no reports of any Currane boats out today, and to be fair, the lake wasn’t exactly inviting. A moderate to strong south‑westerly wind drove hard down the lake, accompanied by heavy showers from morning to evening, enough to keep even the hardiest angler on dry land. Now to the Currane weather chart: Yesterday’s rainfall: 8.6mm Maximum air temperature: 12.9°C Sunshine: None. A day best forgotten by anglers and fish alike.

18/5/2026

 18/5/2026. I have no reports of any action from Lough Currane today, so on that note we head straight for the Currane anglers’ weather chart. The wind ranged from gentle to moderate to fresh and was variable from the South, veering SSW, S, and SSE, all accompanied by heavy showers throughout the day. As for yesterday’s weather, the rainfall clocked in at 17.8mm, the maximum air temperature was 12.0°C, and the sunshine amounted to a grand total of 0.8 minutes.

17/5/2026

 17/5/2026. Just for the record, there were no reports of any action yesterday, and the same can be said for today. That said, one Currane boat did venture out, and the angler texted to say — and I quote — “not a Salmon or Sea Trout in sight.” On that note, we head straight to the Currane anglers’ weather chart: the wind was Moderate to Fresh, accompanied by heavy showers throughout the day. As for yesterday’s weather, rainfall measured 2.5mm, the maximum air temperature was 13.0°C, and the sunshine clocked in at 7 hours and 6 minutes.
