Mr. Wim Woermeijer

31/7/15 The Dutch take the headlines in the Salmon department and for good reason. Dutch Angler, Mr. Wim Woermeijer, fishing out of www.lakelandshouse.com caught a fine Grilse on the fly and in style I might add, the reason I say this is because Wim had a good 20 meters out in rough conditions and within 6 casts rose and sealed my Noble Salmon’s fate and just for the record, for all you imperial Anglers thats 21 yards, Wim’s, Gillie was Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com Wim was using a floating line. I asked what fly did he catch his Salmon on, he replied as you would say Vincent, that’s  classified information. Now to the Sea Trout department, Mr. Pat O’Mahony of Cork was in good form, drifting of the Church, Pat caught 3 Sea Trout to his fly rod ranging from Juniors up to 3 lbs. Staying with the Sea Trout, Mr. Pat O’Halloran, fishing out of www.curranelodge.ie caught 3 Juniors this morning. Clients fishing with Terence Wharton Jnr, caught a few Nice Sea Trout on the fly. Wind WSW from light to strong with the heavy downpours and overcast all day.                      

30/7/15

30/7/15 Straight to the Sea Trout Department, Mr. Andrew Brown of Dublin, caught two fine Sea Trout on the drift, ranging from 2 ½ . Lbs. up to 3 ½ lbs. Andrew’s Gillie Mr. Bob Priestley reported to me that he had one backdate to report. Yesterday, his client Mr. Andrew Brown caught a fine 4 ½ lbs. Sea Trout on the drift and was sportingly put back to fight the battle of the Reds this December and here is a perfect example of sportsmanship plus not letting your fingers do the talking after your days fishing. Just for the record Lough Derriana is fishing well in the Junior department.

Mr. Nick Scot of Rome, Italy, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com caught a fine 5 lbs. 11 ozs Salmon / Grilse on a Red Ass Green Peter using a sinking line, Nick was telling me that there was a good wave at the time he struck his Salmon and had one hell of a good fight. Just for the record Nick was dabbling the two droppers when his fish took the point fly. Staying with Mr. Nick Scot and party, yesterday they were fishing the upper lakes of Lough Derriana and they caught a good few Brown Trout and finished their day off with a Sea Trout  of 2 ½ lbs. all on the fly. Wind was light variable with the odd shower.  Just for the record today’s pictures from the Butler’s Pool are courtesy of Waterville House and at www.watervillegolflinks.ie

27/7/15

Better late than never

27/7/15 Breaking News, Vincent Appleby causes controversy over photographs or the lack of them I should say. The reason for this on Saturday 25th there was a fine Salmon caught by Ms Lesley Bishop, while fishing with her Gillie Mr. Vincent O’Sullivan of www.vincentsfishing.com  and Her Gillie wasn’t amused because I didn’t put the picture of all of them up on the Blog, my apology for this but the reason I didn’t was because Lesley wasn’t holding the fish that she caught, so lets put the record straight and seeing is believing, I believe it caused a heated discussion in the back of the Lobster Bar, but this only speculation on my part ? Now for today’s facts. Lough Currane was on the wild side with a strong NW blowing but this didn’t deter a few boats going out and all the head lines go to UK angler Mr. Ken Towner, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Vincent O’Sullivan of www.vincentsfishing.com caught a fine 4 ½ lbs. Grilse and lost one as well and finished their day off with a Sea Trout in the 2 lbs. class. Weather as already stated.        

26/7/15

US Angler Mr. Bill Dooner 

26/7/15  US Angler, Mr. Bill Dooner was in great form, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Frank Donnelly  of www.lakelandshouse.com caught a cracker of a Salmon on the troll in the 12 lbs. class. Now to the fly department, UK angler Mr. James Henchey, caught 5 ½ lbs Salmon, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Vincent O’Sullivan of www.vincentsfishing.com Now to the Sea Trout department Mr. Neil Shiers caught 1 Sea Trout on the drift, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com and for the rest of the Sea Trout Anglers their was no comment, ether they caught nothing or their hands were to cold to let their fingers do the talking at the end of their day. Wind West and overcast and did not feel that warm.                  

25/7/15

Lesley's first ever Salmon

Lesley on dry land

25/7/15 The conditions first thing this morning were only fit for trolling with bright sunshine and there was not enough wind to blow out a candle, so you don’t have be a rocket scientist that trolling was the only way forward and one Lady Angler took full advantage of theses conditions and that was Ms Lesley Bishop from Shank Hill Dublin and fishing out of www.butlerarms.com caught a fine 7 lbs. 1 ozs Salmon on the troll, while fishing with her Gillie Mr. Vincent O’Sullivan of www.vincentsfishing.com and just for the record that was Lesley’s first salmon and may it be the first of many. Now to the Sea Trout department. Mr. John Magee from Northern Ireland, fishing with his Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com caught a fine 4 lbs. Sea Trout on the fly and for the rest of the fly fishing community there was little to no action, but to be fair it wasn’t exactly warm out there even though there was good cloud cover all afternoon with light rain around 4pm with a good breeze from the South.                  

24/7/15

C&R Angler Mr. Steve Cloke.

24/7/15 The Wind was from the NE so very few anglers didn’t catch themselves a feast, but Mr. Steve Cloke would beg to differ and for good reason, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. John Murphy, caught a fine 5 ½ lbs. Sea Trout on the fly, which he sportingly put back, which is great to see. Wind as already stated with reasonable cloud cover with the odd shower. Yesterday evening, local angler Mr. Jim Sayers, caught a fine 2 lbs Sea Trout on the drift.                      

23/7/15

Anthony 

23/7/15 Mr. Anthony Buckley of Cork ended his 59th  year in style with two fine Salmon / Grilse on the troll, weighing in at 3 lbs. and 4 lbs. and his Gillie Mr. Tom O’Shea of www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com reported that they caught and released a Sea Trout in the 2 lbs. class, also caught on the troll, plus they lost a fine Grilse, but at least Anthony finished his 59th in style and many Happy Returns for tomorrow. In the fly department, US Angler, Mr. Dooner caught a fine 3 lbs. Sea Trout, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Frank Donnelly of www.lakelandshouse.com    For the rest of the angling community, No Comment, but to be fair the wind was light to calm NW all day with bright sunshine with the odd bit of cloud cover at times.            

22/7/15

Mr. PJ Lynham and party
on the Butler Pool 

22/7/15 Straight to the Cock-up  Department, yesterday I reported that Mr. Rod Roberson caught a cracker of a Sea Trout of 8 lbs. and I was politely told by a disgusted Angler, that Rod, must have the record for long-distance casting because yesterday Rod was in the UK, all I can say is some cast some Sea Trout and considering he caught this fine fish on the 22/5/15 and the same goes for Bob Priestley’s Catch, How did I make this Cock-up, simple, trying to poach some facts then not checking my own records so my sincere apologies for this clerical error.  Now today’s facts. We start on the famous Butler Pool and www.watervillegolflinks.ie   PJ Lynham - Fly fishing on the Butlers Pool, this morning, caught a fine 6 1/2 lbs. Salmon. Just for the record the Butler Pool facts were sent to me my www.watervillegolflinks.ie Thanks for that and your great support. Now we head upstream the Lough Currane and we head down the North Shore to the hired out boat department of  Waterville Boats and at watervilleboats@gmail.com Mr. John Flannigan from Lough Rae Co Galway, caught a fine 3 ¾ lbs.

Dominic

20/7/15 Lough Currane was on the wild side with a strong SW wind blowing. There was only one angler that hit’s today’s headlines in the fly C&R department and that is Northern Ireland Angler, Mr. Andrew Wishart, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com caught 3 fine Sea Trout, two in the 2 ½ lbs. class and finished their day off with a cracker of a Sea Trout of 5 lbs. and the truth of the pudding is in the eating of, as you can see from this great photo taken by Andrew before his gillie, Dominic dose the honours of releasing their fine catch. for the rest of the angling community they either failed miserably to catch my Noble Game Fish or they failed to let the fingers do the talking.      

Mr. Gerard Cronin

19/7/15

19/7/15 Lough Currane was on the quiet side in the fly department so we head straight to the trolling department, Mr. Andy Wishart was in good form again, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com they  caught a 5 lbs. Grilse. Staying in the trolling department, their was a touch of enjoyment followed by a touch  sadness for Local angler Mr. Gerard Cronin of Waterville as he was trolling around  and reminiscing to himself of the great days out on Lough Currane with his good friend and fishing Buddy Tommy O’Sullivan who sadly passed away earlier this year, well Tommy must have been looking down at his good mate Gerard, because it wasn’t long before Gerard caught himself a fine 5 ½ lbs salmon/Grilse, as he netted his fish he looked round as if Tommy was their and Gerard said to himself I dedicate this Salmon in memory of my school and life time good friend Tommy and it is a pity I can’t  shake hands with you my great friend. May the sod rest lightly on his Soul.

17/7/15

17/7/15 Again there was a strong wind from the West, even though there were a few boats out manipulating, sadly they failed miserably in their duties to  procure a Lough Currane wild Game Fish. On the amount of rainfall there has been a total of 79.6mm so far this month and that includes yesterday where there was 14.7mm. So with any luck once Lough Currane settles down again we should see some good action. Just for the record, I get my rainfall facts from http://www.met.ie/latest/yesterday.asp                            

16/7/15

16/7/15 It was a wild Day on Lough Currane today, even though a few boats did venture out but alas drew a blank. Staying on the weather front it has made another good flood. Will give more facts tomorrow, my net is going down, see you as soon as possible.

Joe and his C&R Sea Trout 10/7/15

11/7/15 It was a wild day on Lough Currane with a strong SW wind blowing, but this didn’t deter renowned  International professional Salmon and Sea Trout Guide, Mr. Matthew Solen from Co. Clare and guides his clients from Chile to Argentina and as far a field as Russia. Matthew was fishing with Waterville’s Top Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com and with that combination it wasn’t long before Matthew caught himself a fine 6 ½ lbs Salmon Grilse on the fly and if it wasn’t for the wild conditions they would have added to their basket but the weather won the day and by 2.30 pm they called it a day. Now Back to yesterday on the upper lakes, on Lough  Cloonaghlin, Mr. Joe Simpson, caught and released a fine 3.5 lbs. Sea Trout. Sorry for the delay Joe.

10/7/15 UK angler Mr. Mark Knowles, was in excellent form again with the fly rod today with 3 Salmon / Grilse and finished his day off with 3 Trout and his Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com wasn’t amused in my reporting in the last few days, reason being, I failed to make it clear that his Client, Mr. Mark Knowles, returned all his Sea Trout that he has caught in the last few days. In my defence all I can say is, give me the facts please. In the total Sea Trout department, Mr. Steve O’Callaghan, fishing with his Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com caught 3 fine Sea Trout on the fly, up to 2 ½ lbs.

8/7/15 The Fly takes all the headlines. Today we start with the Upper Lakes and on Lough Derriana and in the words of the Angler himself,  Hi Vincent, I was up on Derriana for a few hours today and managed a few brownies to 1 lbs. and a nice Sea Trout of about 2.75 / 3lbs See Photo. I left my landing net in the car so had to beach the boat to unhook and return it.
John Allen. Now we head down stream to the Big Lake / Lough Currane and again the fly was the main attracter.

Rebels of Cork, but thankfully, Steven from Serbia, caught a 3 ½ lbs. Salmon / Grilse on the troll, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Frank Donnelly of www.lakelandshouse.com To all you anglers that failed to put boat to water, I can tell you one thing without any fear of contradiction, Lough Currane is the Fitzgerald Stadium of Game Fishing in Kerry and there is No Draws, just Fish and the odd blank!! Wind SW
fresh with good cloud cover.    

4/7/15

4/7/15 It was a wild gusty day, this day of American independence and my Noble Game fish on Lough Currane made sure that they kept their independence. Wind as already stated with the odd shower.                                          

3/7/15

Graham 

John

3/7/15 It was a wild day on Lough Currane, with a strong SSE wind blowing and all the boats on the North side were landed by lunch time. But wind or no wind this didn’t deter UK Anglers Mr. Graham Elswood and fishing out of www.curranelodge.ie catching a lightening fresh 4 ¼ lbs. Salmon / Grilse on the troll and  Mr. Merick Parsons, finished their morning off with a fine 3 lbs. Sea Trout, caught on the drift and he sportingly put back, guided by their Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com Now we head over to the South side and hired out boat department of www.lakelandshouse.com great to see an angler letting his fingers do the talking after his days fishing. Hi Vincent, John Burton here, caught and released a 3 ½ lbs. Sea Trout on the fly, heading for a well deserved steak dinner and a pint of the best, all I can say that’s the way to do it. And thanks for the photo.                                      

2/7/15

Number 3 and counting
well done Greg and with over 30 years
of experience on Lough Currane you can see why.  

2/7/15 We Start in the Salmon department, UK Angler, Mr. Greg Sutton and fishing out of http://www.golflinksview.kerry-ireland.com/index.html caught a fine 5 ½ lbs. Salmon Grilse on the troll at the point of Green Island, while fishing with his gillie Mr. Tom O’Shea of www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com and staying with the Salmon, an angler fishing on his own caught a Grilse on the troll. Now to the Sea Trout department, UK Anglers, Mr. Merick Parsons and Mr. Graham Elswood, fishing out of www.curranelodge.ie caught and released 5 Sea Trout up to 3 ½ lbs. Their Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com told me that they were using a floating line a their star flie was the Bibio. Wind S then veered SW fresh with reasonable cloud cover.                                  

1/7/17

Greg

1/7/15 The first day of July brought very little action in the fly department and for good reason, Lough Currane was like a milk pond. But with the elements against the anglers, at least two Anglers kept the Lough Currane flag flying high and that was UK angler Mr. Greg Sutton and fishing out of http://www.golflinksview.kerry-ireland.com/index.html  caught a lightening fresh 6 lbs. Salmon / Grilse on the troll, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Tom O’Shea of www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com and a client fishing with his Gillie MD, caught a fine 4 ½ lbs. Salmon / Grilse. Just for the record there were about 10 boats out fishing and I come to the conclusion some anglers are not letting their fingers do the talking at the end of their day, all I can say is if I didn’t let my fingers do the talking you the readers wouldn’t be amused and there wouldn’t be any argument to that. Wind as already stated and overcast with heavy rain at times.
