Backdated to 14th April

First, my apologies to Currane angler Mr. Axel Zurbrugg of Germany for not reporting his fine catch sooner. While out trolling with his Gillie, Mr. Neil O’Shea, Axel caught and released a cracking 15 lbs Salmon. A fine fish and a fine bit of sport, and well deserving of recognition.

Now back to the Present – 16th April

As for today’s proceedings, the Currane anglers reported that it was wild out there, and by all accounts all lines were slack. Not a single rod was bent, and the lake kept her secrets firmly to herself.

Weather, Wind: Moderate to fresh, veering to strong at times, all from the SSW Conditions: Testing, lively, and not for the faint-hearted. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rain fall 19.8mm, maximum temperature 13.3°C, amount of sunshine 1 hour 9 minutes

Michael and Nuala

 

14/4/2026. Just two boats ventured out on the lake today, and despite their best efforts, all lines remained slack. With the fishing quiet, it’s only fitting that we cast our attention to a far more important catch.

On behalf of all Currane anglers from every corner of the globe, heartfelt congratulations to Michael and his good wife Nuala on their 60th wedding anniversary. Now that is the catch of the day — a remarkable milestone and a great achievement by any standard.

May their nets stay full of joy and their boat steady on the waters of life.

 Currane Anglers Weather Report – 10 April 2026

Today’s Conditions:

A wild day on the lake. Winds began SSE before veering SSW, blowing hard at 54–59 km/h, with gusts reaching up to 82 km/h. Heavy rain dominated from morning to evening — your estimate of 30 mm or more is entirely believable given the conditions.

As one seasoned Currane angler put it, “today was a day for the high stool.” Hard to argue with that.

9/4/2026

 I think we will have to go on strike.”

Four boats out, not a single Salmon to show for it. When the fishing is kat, the commentary gets even better.

🌦️ Weather on the Day (9 April 2026)

• Wind: WNW, fresh to strong
• Cloud cover: Good, with occasional breaks
• Showers: Light and scattered
• Yesterday’s rainfall: 1.4 mm
• Max air temperature: 12.4°C

A proper Currane mix — enough wind to ruffle tempers and enough cloud to keep hope alive, even if the fish didn’t get the memo.

If you want, I can turn these into a running log, a polished fishing journal entry, or even a tongue‑in‑cheek “Currane Angler’s Strike Bulletin.”
