27/9/15 UK fly angler Mr. Sean Smith caught a fine Sea Trout, I can’t give the exact weight because I deleted his Gillie’s text but if my memory serves me right it was in around the 4 lbs. class and if I am wrong I’m sure his Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com will give me a diplomatic kicking, else where, UK Angler Mr. Ken Towner, reported that the fishing conditions were better than yesterday but still hard going but at least Ken did have a good battle with a Sea Trout but sadly the Sea Trout won the day and that was his ration for the day and for the rest of the angling community, it was all quiet on the SW front. Wind SE fresh.

23/9/15 There is only one boat that takes the headline and that is the boat of Mr. Michael Smith and his Son Sean of the UK, while fishing with their Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com I start in their Salmon department, Sean caught a fine 8 lbs. Salmon as his proud Father looked on, but not to be out classed it wasn’t long before Michael himself was in battle with a fine Sea Trout and as his Gillie netted Michael’s fine 6 ½ lbs. Specimen Sea Trout he said that’s one for the record books, well Michael quickly informed Neil that his Sea Trout was going back, Anglers take note. Just for the record Michael and Sean finished their day with a Junior. And for the rest of the angling community there was no comment. Wind West fresh with reasonable cloud cover.

22/9/15
22/9/15 Lough Currane was all quiet on the SW front, in other words my Noble Anglers failed miserably in their duties and the least said the soonest mended, the same couldn’t be said for Waterville Boats and at watervilleboats@gmail.com over the last few days. Mr. Trevor Dewberry of the UK and his party caught a total of 5 Salmon of which 3 were caught on the fly, 2 on the troll, weights ranging 4 lbs. up to just under the 6 lbs.

14/9/15 Lough Currane was on the quiet side, which isn’t surprising with a total of 36 mm of rainfall yesterday and I can tell you there weren’t many anglers manipulating on the lake, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that, the Native angler headed for the River Inny and Commeragh and as of yet the mobile is silent but I very much doubt if the Inny and Commeragh anglers reels are as silent.

7/9/15 Again Lough Currane was like a Mill pond for the majority of the day and in the words of Local gillie Mr. Tom O’Shea of www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com in a text message sent at 14.21pm, its looking unlikely that photographs will be required this evening, unless these fish have a dramatic change of heart, well thankfully for his client, Mr. David Burton, did see a bit of action this evening, he caught 2 Juniors which were sportingly put back and considering all the elements were against my Noble Angler’s, David and his Gillie Mr. Tom O’Shea of www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com did well and for the rest of the angling community it was all quiet on the SW front. The wind eventually did get up late this evening from the South with bright sunshine all day.
Monday, September 7, 2015
6/8/15
6/9/15 Lough Currane was like a Millpond and my Noble Anglers scored nil from the pond, if there was some reel action they failed miserably in their duties in the reporting their catches so remember its not what Lough Currane and the Waterville Fishery can do for you, its what you can do for Lough Currane and the Waterville Fishery and the local business. Wind as already stated with bright sunshine all day. Now a Message from www.loughcurrane.com
