It’s the early bird that catches my Noble Game fish, I will start on the Commeragh River where there was some great action early this morning. First in the striking zone was Mr. Steve Coveney, who caught a fine specimen Sea Trout of 7.¾ lbs. and toped that with a 9 lbs Salmon and ably assisted by his Gillie Mr. Tom O’Shea of www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com now we head down stream to Lough Currane, Not to be outdone, Steve’s Brother Martin, fishing with his Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com caught a fine 4 lbs. Grilse and toped that by Catching a 8 lbs Salmon and putting it back to fight another day, anglers take note, and just for the record both Martin’s fish were caught on the troll and they were fishing out of Bay View  Hotel. Staying in the trolling department Mr. Mike Sheehy caught a 5 lbs Grilse on the troll while fishing with his Gillie Mr. junior Scully, also in good form in the trolling department was Mr. Phil Staniforth, who caught a fine Grilse on the troll, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com Now to the Sea Trout department, Mr. Peter Cox, fishing with his Gillie Mr. Mike Dwyer, caught 3 Sea Trout ranging from 2 lbs up to 3 ½ lbs. and now we go for quote of the day, I asked local Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com which way was the wind, he replied a bit of NW and as you can see its overcast with light rain.
