Martin and Bob

30/6/17 All the Salmon and Sea Trout action come from the Bungalow on the North Shore, so straight to the Salmon and Sea Trout department. UK angler Martin Sutton, fishing out www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com caught a fine 4 lbs. Salmon Grilse on the troll and finished his day off with a fine fly C&R 2 ½ lbs. Sea Trout, all while Fishing with his gillie Mr. Bob Priestley. We stay at the Bungalow and the hired out boat department of www.oshealoughcurrane.com Tralee Angler Mr. Tadhg O’Neil and guest caught two trout on the drift and for the rest of the Angling community there was no comment, I wonder why? Its simple they were ashamed of their inability in producing a wild Atlantic Salmon or a Premier Lough Currane Sea Trout, be it on the fly or troll. Yesterdays weather, amount of rainfall 2.6mm. Maximum air temperature 14.6c.

29/6/17

29/6/17 There Were 10 Boats out manipulating this day on Lough Currane but with all their efforts the Lough Currane Anthem was none existent, you can say without any fear of contradiction that my Noble anglers flies and reels were like frozen assets and for good reason, my Noble Game Fish  were in a dormant mood which  is not surprising  with a strong and gusty wind from the NE blowing all day and very cold. Yesterdays weather, maximum air temperature 17.2c.  

28/6/17

Colin 

27/6/17 They say you can’t knock down a pro angler and today was a perfect example of that and yes you have it, the one and only Mr. Colin Lynam of Dublin takes the Crown King of the Salmon be it fly or troll because he was in control in all departments and for good reason on his last day of his Trip to the Waterville Fishery, he was in brilliant form again on Lough Currane and on Copal. We start on Lough Currane First thing this morning Colin, caught a fine 5 lbs. Grilse on the fly and topped that with a fine C&R 7 lbs. Salmon also caught on the fly and finished his Lough Currane fly trip with a C&R 5 ½ lbs, Sea Trout and as always he finished his day off on Copal and sealed his 1 hour trip With 2 4lbs. Grilse and on his last cast of the day caught a fine 2lbs. Sea trout and just for the record all the Copal fly fish were returned. You can say without any fear of contradiction Colin had an amazing fishing trip to Waterville and with 21 years experience, fishing this great Fishery that doesn’t surprise me. Wind NW light to fresh with good cloud cover with the odd light shower. Yesterdays weather, amount of rainfall 11.6 mm. Maximum air temperature 15.6.                            

36/6/17

Colin

26/6/17 Dublin angler Mr. Colin Lynam again takes all the Salmon headlines again today, you could say he’s on a good roll and he certainly is because he caught a fine 8 lbs. Salmon on the troll and in his own words and I quote, caught it this morning and made up for the bad evening and a bad evening it turned out to be, with heavy rain and I mean heavy and has made a good flood. Wind SSE fresh and over cast. Just for the record there were six boats out and you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know today’s scores but just for the record Mr. Colin Lyman’s boat 1 the other 5 boats 0. Yesterdays weather, amount of rainfall 1.4mm. Maximum air temperature 15.2c.            

25/6/17

Colin

Michael and you can't beet experience 

25/6/17 Again Lough Currane produced some good fishing today, so straight to the action, first in the striking zone was Dublin angler Mr. Colin Lynam who was in great form again with his fly rod and just as good at the trolling and for good reason, Colin caught a fine 5 lbs. Salmon on the fly, then decided to stalk for a Sea Trout and within a few casts caught and released a fine Sea Trout in the 4 lbs. class, but the action didn’t stop there because after a good session with his fly rod his experience told him his luck was in and went for a troll and within minutes his trolling rod was singing the Lough Currane National Anthem with a fine 4 lbs, Salmon for his efforts and in Colin’s own words not a bad couple of days fishing and there is no argument to that. Now we head for the North Shore and Waterville Boats and at  watervilleboats@gmail.com Local Gillie Mr. Michael O’Sullivan was in good form today in the trolling department and for an angler who hasn’t been out very often this season showed the younger gillie’s how its done  and the older ones for that matter, why do I say this, well within half-hour going out he caught a fine 5 lbs. Salmon and when he dispatched his fish, Michael put on barbless hooks to show how its done in the C&R department,
 well it didn’t take long I can tell you because Michael caught two more Salmon Grilse and as he was winding his fish in he pulled the hooks out of the Salmon’s Mouth and the rest is history and in Michael’s own  words easy come easy go and go he did to have his photo taken by the paparazzi. Wind NW light to fresh with good cloud cover. Yesterdays weather, amount of rainfall 1.6mm. Maximum air temperature 15.2c.

Colin 

Frank holds fish of the day on the pool and Roger takes the photo!

24/6/17 The Waterville Fishery produced some cracking fishing today so straight to the action, with 10 boats out on the Lake there is only one angler that takes all the Salmon headlines and catch of the day on Lough Currane and that goes to Dublin angler Mr. Colin Lynam and he’s no stranger to the Waterville fishery and you can see why, because Colin, caught 3 Salmon on the troll and their weights are as follows 4 lbs. 5 lbs. 7 lbs. respectively and Colin finished his day off with two C&R fine Sea Trout caught on the fly/drift. Staying in the Sea Trout department, Mr. James Merriot, while fishing with his gillie Mr. Tom O’Shea of www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com  caught 1 Junior on the drift. Now we head down stream to the World Famous Butler Pool and catch of the day on the Pool, goes to Mr. Roger Simpson, while manipulating his flies on this famous river it wasn’t long before his fly rod was bent double into a cracker of a 12 lbs. Salmon but the action didn’t stop there because as soon as his Gillie Mr. Frank Donnelly of www.lakelandshouse.com dispatched his fine fish, Roger was on the hunt and his enthusiasm payed off with another fine Salmon in the 7 lbs. class which I might add he sportingly put back. Wind West fresh with reasonable cloud cover. Yesterdays weather, amount of rainfall 4.8mm. Maximum air temperature 15.4c.

21/6/17

19/6/17

some view 

Rudy and Party 

26c and rising 

19/6/17  Lough Currane was like Blazing Saddles and for good reason, the sun was blazing down on the water and what anglers were out, they looked like Phantoms of the opera! One renowned fly angler Mr. Rudy Vey of the U.S.A. and Waterville, took to the saddle and the wild Pony Tracks of Lough Currane and as you can see by his fantastic photos his decision to take to the saddle was correct and in the words of his host Mr. Grant Rogerson of the Ring of Kerry Equestrian Centre, as they made it to the top of the hill looking over Currane, its nearly 26c, on that note you can understand why my Noble anglers failed miserably in their duties. Wind light W. Yesterday weather, maximum air temperature 22.2c.  

The Picture tells the story a satisfactory day!

18/6/17

10/6/17

6/6/17

Hugh

6/6/17 Lough Currane was on the wild side with a strong and gusty wind from the NW added with heavy down pours, but this didn’t deter a few boats from going out, but all the Salmon headlines go to Dublin Angler Mr. Hugh Brennan, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com caught a 5 lbs. Grilse on the troll, where the other boats are concerned it was all quiet on the SW front. Yesterdays weather, amount of rainfall 7.3mm
.

5/6/17

5/6/17 Lough Currane was on the quiet side after yesterdays brilliant action, but to be honest that’s not surprising with a NE wind blowing and rain pouring down for the best part of the day and it was very cold with a maximum air temperature of 9c but felt like 6c. That ends the excuses for the Lough Currane anglers, so on that note we head upstream and to the Commeragh River and there was one angler manipulating his skill and needs no excuses because the angler in question, Mr Martin Coveny, caught and released a fine 6 lbs. Salmon and two Sea Trout for his efforts, so congratulations to Martin for keeping the Waterville Fishery flag flying high this June Bank holiday Monday. Yesterdays weather. Amount of rainfall 12 mm.

4/6/17

Peter

Martin, Dave, Bob.

Salmon caught on the Commeragh river by Mr. Martin Coveny and apologies again to Martin for failing in my duties and I can just hear the Lough Currane anglers in the bars this evening having a good laugh and saying and he thinks he’s a good reporter!

2/6/17

2/6/17 There were six boats out manipulating and stimulating their flies and lours today on the Big Lake/ Lough Currane, all I can say is their flies and lours have a lot to be desired this day on the Waterville Fishery and why, well its simple because of their inability to catch a wild Atlantic Salmon or catch one of Lough Curran’s majestic specimen Sea Trout, need I say more.
