Haulie RIP

 14/8/2026, There will be no fishing reports from Lough Currane today.

It is with great sadness that I record the passing of renowned farmer, businessman, and dear friend Mr. Haulie O’Shea, RIP. I have many fond memories from Haulie’s days running the Bayview. There was always a mighty atmosphere, especially when Haulie himself was behind the bar. I’d walk in the door and the first thing he’d ask was, “Any Salmon caught today?” And if there were photos, he’d insist they went straight up on the wall, and up they went.

Haulie was a great character, a pure gentleman, and a man who would never let anyone down. His loss will be felt deeply across our community. On behalf of all Currane anglers and the good people of Bunadreen North, Mastergeehy, Dromid, Waterville, Caherdaniel, and all of Kerry, we extend our Sincere Sympathies to his wife Ann, daughters Maire and Kate, son Micheal, daughter‑in‑law Róisín, sons‑in‑law Ciaran and Shane, grandchildren Lily, Rosie, Michael, Séaghdha, and Oisin, sister Peggy, brother John, sister‑in‑law Anne, brothers‑in‑law Jimmy, Mike, Joe, and Peter, along with his relatives, neighbours, and many dear friends.

May Haulie’s gentle soul Rest In Peace, and may his memory remain as warm and welcoming as the Bayview bar he made famous.

Rest In Peace Haule

 13/8/2026. The Currane anglers were all quiet in all departments on this very humid day, with the air sitting between 95% and 98% humidity. Conditions began under heavy cloud, followed by light misty rain showers, before the sun finally broke through in the afternoon. As for the Currane Wind Chart, the breeze started as a gentle Southerly, later veering SSW. Yesterday’s Weather, Rainfall 7.3 mm, Maximum air temperature, 23.0°C, Sunshine 2 hours and 4 minutes

12/8/2026. There were five Currane boats out manipulating their skills on this Solar Eclipse Day, and by all accounts the anglers didn’t catch nor even glimpse the eclipse of a Salmon or a Sea Trout. Low lake or not, it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if a rogue fish did show itself; yes, it’s hardly likely, but with a good flood on the horizon you never know your luck. The Currane anglers weather chart, Wind Variable, gentle to moderate SSE, veering S, SSW, and back to S again. Heavy cloud from dawn to dusk. Yesterday’s Weather, Rainfall 0.8 mm, Max air temperature 19.8°C, Sunshine: 0.0 hours

11/8/2026

11/8/2026. The Currane anglers were as quiet as church mice in all departments today, not a whisper of action to report. So, straight to the Currane weather chart we go.
The wind began SSE before veering South, accompanied by the odd light shower, more of a spit than anything substantial. As for the sun, there wasn’t a sign of it, though sun or no sun, the humidity made its presence well known, Yesterday’s weather, Rainfall, 0.0 mm, Maximum air temperature: 20.2°C, Sunshine: 13 hours and 13 minutes           

10/8/2026

10/8/2026. Another bright and sunny day for the Currane anglers. Two boats ventured out, but there were no reports of C&R action. Considering the low water levels, what do you expect? To be honest, an evening session—or a very early morning one would be my advice. Now to the Currane weather chart:Wind variable, a gentle ESE veering SE, S, and finally SSW, all under bright sunshine from dawn to dusk. Yesterday’s weather, Rainfall,1.2mm, Maximum air temperature 18.6°C, 

Sunshine 2 hours 4 minutes. And speaking of early starts, the photo tells the story, don’t take my advice lightly.     

9/8/2026

 9/8/2026. No reports from the Currane anglers of any C&R of wild Salmon or Sea Trout, and as I always say, that doesn’t mean my Noble Salmon wasn’t quietly C&R without a whisper. Now for the Currane anglers’ weather chart, Variable wind, moderate to gentle, starting WNW and veering NW, WNW, and back to NW. Overcast throughout the day, accompanied by the odd misty drizzle so light it might not even have been registered. Yesterday’s weather, Rainfall 0.0 mm, maximum air temperature 21.2°C, and sunshine clocked in at 9 hours 1 minute. And to finish, a cracking video from Wild Derrynane.

 8/8/2026, Just two Currane boats ventured out today and, sadly, all was quiet in every department. Not a murmur, not a stir, and certainly not a salmon to break the silence. Worse still, the weather forecast isn’t doing us any favours, we’re heading straight into another hot spell, and as every Currane angler knows, heat and fish rarely shake hands. Now we head down the line to Deenish Islandhttps://www.friendsoftheirishenvironment.org/library/deenish-aquaculture-licence-transcript-leave-to-appealAnd now we swing back to the Currane anglers’ weather chart, Wind variable, moderate to light from the S, veering SSW and SW as the day went on. Sunshine was the boss plenty of it, outdoing any Cloud
