25/4/2026. All honours on Lough Currane today are most deservedly bestowed upon Mr. Daniel Dwyer, who, while angling under the expert guidance of the distinguished Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy, secured a splendid 12‑lb salmon on the troll.

For the record — and for those who appreciate the finer details — seven boats graced the lake, yet it was Mr. Dwyer alone who succeeded in persuading a Currane salmon to rise to the occasion. Now for the today’s Currane anglers weather chart, the weather proved most civilised: a gentle south‑westerly breeze, occasionally variable, drifted across the water, accompanied by respectable cloud cover through which the sun broke intermittently, lending the proceedings an atmosphere of quiet refinement. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.1mm, maximum air temperature 17.9°C, amount of sunshine 1 hour.

24/4/2026. Starting with a spot of backdating—and a cracking bit of news it is—five fine salmon were reported caught on the troll by Currane anglers over the weekend of 19/4/2026, courtesy of Inland Fisheries. You could say the lake was in a generous mood while it lasted.

Now back to today’s reality, and sadly the generosity didn’t continue. There were no reports of any C&R from the Currane, so straight to the Currane anglers’ weather chart we go. The wind came in Fresh and then let its temper rise, pushing on to gusts Near Gale, all under a heavy cloak of cloud. As for yesterday’s weather, the rainfall was a big fat 0.0mm, the maximum air temperature hit a respectable 16.7°C, and the sunshine clocked a grand total of 0.7 minutes—yes, you read that right, 0.7 minutes, hardly enough to tan a mackerel.

 23/4/2026. As of yet there were no reports from the Currane anglers, and to be fair it was fairly rough out there on Lough Currane. A fresh SE wind ruled the day, followed by gusts pushing up to 60 km/h, enough to keep most boats where they belonged — firmly tied to the harbour. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.0mm, maximum air temperature 13.6°C, amount of sunshine 0 and 4 minutes.

22/4/2026. All Currane stations were closed, and for good reason — it was wild out there with gusts hammering from 79 km/h up to 83 km/h throughout the day, all under good cloud cover. Yesterday’s weather: amount of rainfall 0.0 mm, maximum air temperature 13.2°C, and the sunshine clocked in at 4 hours 7 minutes.

21/4/2026

21/4/2026. There were no reports from the Currane anglers and to be fair it was wild out there, even though the wind was East before veering ESE. Fresh throughout, followed by gusts from 50 km/h to 64 km/h, and all topped off with good cloud cover. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.0, maximum air temperature 15.8°C, amount of sunshine 8hours.

20/4/2026

 20/4/2026. The Currane anglers were all quiet in all departments so, yes, its straight to the Currane anglers weather chart, wind variable gentle to moderate followed by bright sunshine. Amount of rainfall none, maximum air temperature 14.6°C, amount of sunshine 9 hours and 2 minutes.

19/4/2026

 19/4/2026. There were seven Currane boats out, and I’m glad to report that a Currane angler caught a fine Salmon on the troll, while the rest of the fleet passed Michael with that familiar look of why not me, if you get my drift.  Now to the Currane weather chart, wind variable, Gemtle to Moderate ESE veered, SE, S, followed by plenty of sunshine. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.2mm, maximum air temperature 11.9°C, amount of sunshine 10 hours and 1 minute.
