Now to today’s closing facts well I will let you decide because there was no wind what so ever, you could say the

one of the winning tickets drawn out of the bucket
for a spot prize

Waterville fishery was at a standstill with little to no action except there was the odd Junior taken and a few Brown Trout taken on the upper lakes. Now to the personal department, I would like to thank all you anglers who have put your say in, in the past season and for the great support I got when I was criticised but everybody is entitled to their own opinion and without your fantastic support this site wouldn't exist so keep reading and having your say, this is the Anglers site, and to all you anglers who let their fingers do the talking at the end of their days fishing a big thank you for that and for the ones who failed on a regular bases may the Lord have mercy on your laziness, but I must admit I was guilty of that myself at times and last but not least I would like to thank all the team of the Inlandfisheries for their great support to me and the Waterville Fishery this year as they do every year. If there is any news in the close season I will keep you up to date so on that note I will sign off by saying No Spin No Fly’s Just Facts and look forward to keeping you all up to date in 2015

11/10/14 As promised I will start with Mr. Jim Sayers and his party who were fishing on Lough Namona yesterday and here are their results, Jim caught  a fine Sea Trout in the 4 lbs Class and his good friend John Walsh, caught a fine Brown Trout in the 1 ¼ lbs class and  Jim was telling that they also lost a good fish, in his opinion it was a Salmon but as he said he wouldn't put a mortgage on it, they also caught a Junior. Now Back to the present and we will stay with the upper Lakes and Mr. Jim Sayers and party, today they were fishing on Lough Cloonaghlin, Jim reported that the action ddidn'tstart until late afternoon, reason being they were waiting for the wind to get up so here are their results. Mr. John Walsh, caught a fine 1 ½ lbs Sea Trout, they also caught 20 Juniors and a good basket of Brown Trout. Staying with the upper Lakes, on Lough Derriana, Tim and Jeremy O’Connor, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Tom O’Shea of www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com caught 1 Sea Trout of 1 ½ lbs. Now we head down stream to the big Lake /Lough Currane. Mr. Donagh McCarthy of the USA and Waterville caught 3 Trout while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com just for the record all yesterdays and today’s catches were returned. Wind light and variable. Last Night I got an email from a concerned angler, so I will let him have centre stage. Vincent:
I am disturbed to hear that the EU has dismissed the complaint regarding salmon farms and their effect on wild fish stocks.  At the same time, IFI has just stated, after examination of all the information regarding the same subject, that there is considerable negative impact to the wild fish stocks as a result of the sea lice attendant to salmon farming.  Please urge your readers to spend some time in the close season writing to their local TDs to encourage them to raise questions regarding this subject.
It might also be an idea for some organization to file a lawsuit on behalf of all the anglers requesting an injunction against these farms pending further investigation.  Surely there are some lawyers in Ireland who are also fishermen?  The time to protest these dangerous and polluting salmon farms and stop the further decimation of the wild salmon and sea trout stocks is now!
Ireland is one of the last countries in the world where you can easily access such fishing, and where it does not cost exorbitant amounts to do so.  Please stand up and prevent the EU from using Ireland as a market garden.  Most European Countries have already decimated their own fish stocks, prevent Ireland from making the same mistakes and ending up barren of salmon and sea trout.
Very truly yours,

Murray T. Beatts

The Kerry Way

Some Anglers see red I wonder why?

9/10/14 First to the apology department reason being for missing Mr. Jim Sayers phone calls this evening, reason being phone on silent, sorry for that will put the record straight tomorrow, on that note we head out onto the Lake. Mr. Donagh McCarthy of the USA and Waterville was in good form again, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com with 5 Trout to their Boat and for the rest of the angling community no comment excluding local Angler Mr. Jim Sayers. Wind W light with reasonable cloud cover at times.

Anglers get a presidential  salute 

9/10/14 Mr. Donagh McCarthy of the USA and Waterville, take all the headlines in the C&R department with 7 Trout to his rod. As always Donagh was fishing with his Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com and for the  rest of the angling community they either failed to catch my Noble Sea Trout, or if they did have the odd rod bender, they most certainly failed to let their fingers do the talking, whether they caught fish or not. Wind NW fresh with showers throughout the day.        

8/10/14

8/10/14 There was Fork Lightening and Thunder and two lightening conductors, at least one boat saw some action. Mr. Mark Doormen was in good form with his carbon fiber fly rod with 3 Sea trout, ranging from Junior class up to 2 lbs, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Bob Priestley and you can say without any fear of contradiction they brought their fellow anglers down to earth. One Gillie text me, too many flashes, all I can say to that is, they were dam lucky they weren't electrocuted. Wind W strong this morning and calmer in the afternoon with heavy showers throughout the day.

On the weather front there was reasonable cloud cover with the odd shower plus a mixture of hailstone and the amount of rainfall yesterday was 30.8 mm.

5/10/14  Lough Currane was on the wild side with a strong SW blowing down the lake and here are the Lough Currane Sea Trout results. First in the striking zone was Mr. Enrico Fantasia of Dublin, who caught 1 Sea Trout to his rod and in the words of his Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com it was wild out there and bad. Staying with the North Shore. Mr. Peter Ruffle, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com also caught 2 Trout to his rod. Back to the weather just for the record it made a fair bit of rain today, it will be interesting to see how much rain fell, but remember one has to take into account we had a long dry spell and because of this the land will take a fair bit before we will get the benefit, will give the facts as soon as they are on line.                

4/10/14

4/10/14 There were a few boats manipulating and here are the reported results, Peter fishing out of Waterville Boats and at watervilleboats@gmail.com caught 2 Trout with his Gillie MD.

Wind was south first thing this morning and veered all over the place, but come afternoon it went into the NW and it was very cold out there going by the reports, so my Noble Anglers did well and I have spoken in the authority invested by myself.            

3/10/14 There was a light Westerly blowing down the lake with heavy rain at times, but this didn't deter, Trevor, from catching 2 Trout on the drift, while fishing with his Gillie MD Esq.

The light of day

Wind as already stated and overcast.

1/10/14 Lough Curran was on the quiet side with just 2 Juniors caught by Kevin and Senan Lavery, while fishing with their Gillie Mr. Tom O’Shea of www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com As you all know its a year to the day when Mr. Paul Lawton of Cork caught and released that magnificent Sea Trout, and was ably assisted by Mr. Liam Ellis of Waterville and their cameraman was Mr. Peter Muldoon of Co. Cork, but sadly they have failed miserably in their duties to procure the same results this day and I have to say its back to the drawing board in all departments i.e. Gillie, fly man and cameraman, on that note we head for the poaching department of www.loughcurrane.com and the higher Lakes and Lough Namona, Regular visitor Joe Simpson caught a fine brown trout on Lough Namona today!  Just for the record you can fish the upper lakes until the end of the season and remember its fly only Wind west light with reasonable cloud cover.
