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.

 27/5/2026. Another roaster of a day on Lough Currane, and you wouldn’t need to be a rocket scientist to know the facts — but just in case anyone missed the memo, here they are.

We head straight to the Currane weather chart: a moderate and variable ESE breeze, doing its best to pretend it mattered, while the blazing sun took full command with only the odd scrap of cloud for company. Yesterday’s weather, Rainfall: None at all, Max air temperature: 24.7°C, Sunshine: 15 glorious hours. you could say
a day so bright even the fish were reaching for sunglasses.

Sea anglers delight 
Ballinskelligs Bay today

 25/5/2026.The Currane Salmon and Sea Trout anglers would have been well smoked had they ventured out today, with the sun blazing down on the Waterville fishery and temperatures hitting a scorching 30°C. Add in a light, variable ENE breeze that wandered off through SSE, SSW, SW, WSW, W, and back to WSW for good measure, all under a crystal‑clear sky, and you can understand why the Currane anglers wisely took it easy. Even the fish were probably sunbathing.

Yesterday’s weather:
No rainfall to report, maximum air temperature 21.3°C, and a marathon 14 hours and 7 minutes of sunshine — enough to make even the most dedicated angler consider a cold pint over a hot rod.

25/5/2026. Just one Currane boat ventured out today and, sadly, no reports of any C&R to raise the heartbeat. So, on that note, we head straight for the real question of the day: no flies, no spin… just poaching — what’s your opinion? 

Now to the Currane anglers’ weather chart: Variable light winds shifting from NE to ENE, then swinging S, SW, W, and finally WSW — a full compass tour for the sake of it. Bright sunshine ruled the day, as your photo proves beyond doubt.

Yesterday’s weather: Rainfall 0.0 mm, Maximum air temperature 18.4°C, Sunshine 13 hours and 7 minutes — a proper scorcher for May.

I’ll finish with a bit of Currane humour: A local angler said he saw a Salmon jump today… but after 13 hours of sunshine, he admitted it might’ve just been his reflection trying to escape.

24/6/2026. Just three Currane boats out today on a bright, beaming, sun‑splitting‑the-stones kind of day, with hardly a cloud in sight — and I’m afraid I can say the very same for the Salmon and Sea Trout. The Currane anglers were more sunbathing than striking, but sure that’s fishing for you.

Now to the Currane weather chart: wind gentle to moderate from the South, later veering SSW. Yesterday’s weather: no rainfall, maximum air temperature 16.1°C, and 6 hours and 4 minutes of glorious sunshine.

And for today’s comedy ending: One angler said the lake was so calm and the fish so scarce that he considered trolling a mirror just to see something moving under the boat. I told him not to worry — with his luck, he’d only catch his own reflection looking disappointed

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. 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.
