 25/8/2026. A lively twist is exactly what the Currane doctor ordered, so let’s inject a good dose of humour into this otherwise comatose report. Just three Currane boats out today and all quiet in every department. In fact, the lake was so silent you’d swear the fish were holding a union meeting and declared a 24‑hour strike. And yes, you are absolutely correct, it’s straight to the Currane anglers’ weather chart. A gentle and variable ESE wind drifted about like it couldn’t make up its mind, followed by the odd shower just to keep anglers awake. By the afternoon the sun took full control, shining down with that smug “I told you I’d show up eventually” attitude. Yesterday’s weather: rainfall, a trace (barely enough to wet a midge), maximum air temperature 20.3°C, amount of sunshine 2 hours and 5 minutes. Currane Anglers’ humour of the day, It was so quiet on the lake that one angler swore he saw a salmon yawn. Another said the only thing he hooked was a sunburn. And a third claimed the fish w ere lying low because they didn’t want to be caught on a Tuesday, apparently even trout believe in a four‑day work week.

 24/8/2026. There were three Currane boats out today and, sadly, not a single report of any C&R Salmon, Seatrout, or even Brown Trout. On that rather negative note, we’ll head straight to the Currane weather chart, a variable gentle to moderate easterly wind, veering ESE, SE, and SSE, with good cloud cover throughout the day and the sun breaking through at intervals. Yesterday’s weather: rainfall 0.0mm, maximum air temperature 19.2°C, and 12 hours 8 minutes of glorious sunshine. Now to the lost and found: posted originally on the 5th of July, a landing net and two rod holders were found on the wall down at the bog.

23/8/2026. No reports from the Currane anglers today, and to be fair it’s hardly shocking, the lake is so low you’d nearly need a periscope to spot a salmon. As for the conditions, they weren’t exactly singing the angler’s anthem either: a Light to Gentle variable wind doing a full tour of the compass, ESE, SE, SSW, SW, and not a cloud in sight to give any hope of cover. Still, as I always say, just because nothing was reported doesn’t mean some quiet Currane angler didn’t sneak out and produce a wild fish while the rest of us were scratching our heads. Yesterday’s weather, Amount of rainfall 0.0mm, maximum air temperature 18.3°C, amount of sunshine 8 hours and 8 minutes.

21/8/2026. Good news from the Currane anglers in all departments. There was at least one Salmon caught on the troll, one C&R Sea Trout, and a good number of Brown Trout caught on the drift, enough to keep the reels ticking and the spirits high.

From there we head to the C&R River Inny. The Inny Farmer reports there was just one C&R angler out this morning, and he gave no report, you could say his mouth was as tight as his fly line.

The Mad Fisherman has his story of day.     

 There’s great news on the Waterville horizon: two of my loyal subscribers are arriving tomorrow all the way from Bavaria, Germany. They’re heading out fishing with their Boatman, and fair play to them — they told me they discovered Waterville from watching my videos. They love every minute of them, and that’s why they’re making the pilgrimage to the home of the Currane. They even said they probably watch your reports too, Vincent — so you can take a bow. It’s not every day the Currane Fishery gets international fans flying in because of our ramblings, but there you have it. Waterville fame spreading across Europe, one cast at a time.

20/8/2026. Just two Brown Trout boats out on the lake today, both manipulating their fly‑casting skills with conviction, and by Jove, each boat finished with a fine basket of Brown Trout. From there we head to the Inny Farmer’s beat. I only saw one fly C&R angler on the Inny and received no report, so we’ll assume the river kept its secrets today. Currane Anglers Weather Front: A moderate to fresh NNE wind dominated, accompanied by good cloud cover and passing showers, with the sun breaking through at intervals throughout the day. Yesterday’s Weather, Rainfall: 2.8mm, Maximum air temperature, 18.0°C, Sunshine, 5 hours and 2 minutes. And now, rods down and popcorn out, we head for the cinema with the one and only The Mad Fisherman. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pf77kwmmEVQ
