24/9/2026

 24/0/2026. The Lough Currane anglers were all quiet today, though as I always say, there could well have been a few catch‑and‑releases slipping under the radar. On that note, we head straight to the Mad Fisherman’s funny fishing video www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_EU5x-fuV4Now for the Currane anglers’ weather chart, wind moderate to fresh, heavy cloud cover throughout, with the sun breaking through on occasion. Yesterday’s weather, amount rainfall 0.7mm, maximum air temperature 17.1°C, and 7 hours and 6 minutes of sunshine

23/9/2026.

 23/9/2026. No reports from the Currane anglers on today’s action, so on that note we head straight to Appleby’s Currane Weather Chart. A variable gentle North wind did its best to keep everyone guessing, veering NNE, NNW, W, and finally SW, a proper merry‑go‑round of directions. This was accompanied by a fine mixture of sunshine and cloud cover, the sort of day where you’re never quite sure whether to reach for the sunglasses or the raincoat. Yesterday’s weather: rainfall 1.2mm, maximum air temperature 19.2°C, and, wait for it, 0.9 minutes of sunshine.

22/9/2026. No reports from the Currane anglers on today’s action, so we head straight to the Currane weather chart. Light to gentle southerly wind veered SSW, accompanied by heavy cloud cover, with the sun breaking through only on rare occasionsm, and with great difficulty at that. Yesterday’s weather, rainfall 0.7mm, maximum air temperature 18.1°C, and 3 hours of sunshine.

21/9/2026


21/9/2026. Just six Currane boats ventured out, and all their lines stayed slack from start to finish. You could say the anglers’ blood pressure rose faster than any wild Currane fish bothered to. As for the weather, variable gentle winds, South veering SSW and back again, with a mix of reasonable cloud and sunshine.Yesterday’s conditions saw 0.4mm of rainfall, a maximum air temperature of 17.8°C, and, believe it or not, just 0.1 minute of sunshine. Photos taken today.

20/9/26

20/9/2026. Seven Currane boats took to the lake today, but the C&R department remained as quiet as a church mouse, no reports, no action, not even a whisper of a salmon. On that note, we head straight to the Currane anglers’ weather chart, variable light to moderate winds from the South, veering SE, SSE, S, and back to SSE, all under heavy cloud cover throughout the day, with misty rain drifting in and out during the afternoon.

Yesterday’s weather: rainfall 0.6mm, maximum air temperature 17.8°C, and not a glimmer of sunshine.

A day so dull even the fish couldn’t be bothered to rise, typical Currane mischief.

19/9/2026

19/9/2026. Six Currane boats took to the lake, and while it was great to see a bit of life on the water, the only reward was a few Brownies, hardly enough to raise the anglers’ spirits. On that note, we head straight for the Currane anglers’ weather chart, a moderate West wind held its ground throughout the day, accompanied by good cloud cover and little to no sunshine. Yesterday’s weather tells its own story, 3.2mm of rainfall, a maximum air temperature of 17.4°C, and zero sunshine recorded. A quiet day on the lake, and by the looks of it, the weather wasn’t exactly shouting encouragement either.

18/9/2026

18/9/2026. The Currane anglers were all quiet in all departments, but as I always say, that doesn’t mean there weren’t a few Noble catch‑and‑releases sneaking about like poachers in the fog. Today’s weather, a fresh SW wind veering WSW, heavy cloud parked overhead, and misty rain drifting in just enough to make you wonder if the lake was trying to join in the fishing. Yesterday’s stats, rainfall 0.2mm, max air temp 16.5°C, and sunshine 0.7 minutes, which is technically a “sunny spell,” though you’d need a stopwatch and a bit of luck to witness it.

Cheeky joke of the day comes from a Currane angler.

One angler said the lake was so calm and quiet he could hear a pin drop. Another replied, “That’s because it was your hopes of catching a salmon hitting the bottom
