 22/1/2026, Currane anglers were all quiet except  for the odd C&R Kelt. Now we head for the Currane weather chart. Wind NW moderate followed by reasonable cloud cover and the odd shower. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 4.4mm, maximum air temperature 10.8°C, amount of sunshine 2 minutes. 

On a personal note, it's  hard to believe that my father and Currane angler, Mr. E.G. Appleby RIP  passed away 13 years ago today. Always in my thoughts.

It's great to be back on the No Spin No Fly’s just Facts, and the Facts  of the Day are as follows , there were 8  boats out, and sadly, there were no celebrations on the opening day, just for the record there were few kelts and the odd trout C&R. Now we head for the Currane weather. Wind light and variable NNE followed by good sunshine for most of the day. As you see by the photos they had a good lunch at Watervilleboats@gmail.com

Irish anglers and tourist anglers we must Unite so have your say on this. 

Hi Vincent Waterville is a free lake it was given to the people of Ireland how dare ifI try and introduce new measures they should have no right to set limits this organisation should be disbanded they never help fisheries it’s all negativity by them. Leave currane alone it’s our peoples lough. Simon

Hi Vincent I read your story tonight about the new regulations for Lough Currane I think it’s an absolute disgrace that ifi have introduced these without consultation with the businesses and the local anglers in Waterville, common sense has gone out the window surely they could give anglers at least 1 tag for the spring fishing. I think it’s sending out the completely wrong message its making it look like the anglers are the problem which is so far from the truth. Closing the spring fishing will Be a huge loss to Waterville so many businesses will suffer, Waterville is suffering enough major hotels closed and if these regulations are passed more businesses will fold , I say to ifI please put things right and use a little bit of common sense .save our village and our visitors. John

Hi Vincent I think you should start a petition to stop these regulations ifi have gone too far this time save our fishing. If these regulations are passed I don’t think many licences will be purchased in 2026 and the spring anglers will be lost forever in Waterville. David

Subject: Urgent Appeal on New Lough Currane Regulations

Dear IFI,

I am deeply concerned about the new regulations for Lough Currane. Introducing these measures without consulting local businesses and anglers in Waterville is unacceptable. Common sense has gone out the window.

At the very least, anglers should be allowed one tag for spring fishing. Closing the spring season sends the wrong message—it unfairly portrays anglers as the problem, which is far from the truth.

This decision will have a devastating impact on Waterville. Our village is already struggling, with major hotels closed and businesses barely surviving. If these regulations go ahead, more businesses will fold.

I urge IFI to reconsider, engage with the community

12/10/2025

October 12, 2025. On the final day of the 2025 Salmon and Seatrout season, there were no reports from Currane's C&R Trout anglers. It's widely recognised that this has been the worst season in living memory, made worse by the government's apparent indifference towards the wild heritage of salmon and sea trout—a situation whose causes are well known. All I can say is, perhaps one day, wild geese will return and reclaim the Irish waters. On a personal note, I want to thank the Inland Fisheries team and all my followers on the Salmon and Sea Trout blog and Facebook page. The Currane weather chart showed variable winds, ranging from light to gentle East, then veering ESE, SE, SSE, and back to SE, with good cloud cover throughout. Yesterday's conditions included no rainfall, a maximum air temperature of 12.2°C, and 5 hours and 6 minutes of sunshine. Additionally, the Salmon and Sea Trout blog received more views this season than ever before—last month alone saw 386,777 views.
