2018 Currane Salmon of the year !

12/10/18 We go straight to the Bungalow and quote of the day from Local Gillie Mr. Tom O’Shea, its sums up today’s action in a nut shell. It’s all over, Gale Callum stopped play early and makes the Currane anglers and their rods and reels redundant on this last day of the 2018 Season. So now we will head for my highlights of the 2018 Season, catch of the season goes to Mr. Michael Roden of Waterville and Dublin, who caught a 17 lbs. Salmon on the troll on the 26/2/18. C&R Sea Trout of the Season goes to Cork and Currane angler, Mr. Jerry O’Sullivan, while trolling on the 10/5/18 caught and released a 9 lbs. Sea Trout. In the River department the World Famous Butler Pool takes all the headlines and in simple words it was electrifying and not forgetting the Inny, there was some great action up there at times and I know a few anglers who were well satisfied and for the rest of the season we all know that the Sun took all the headlines and I don’t mean page 3. As we saw when the dry spell came to an end there was good Sea Trout fishing! Charity Salmon of  the Season goes to Local angler Mr. Mike O’Dwyer who caught the first Salmon of the season  on the 20/2/18  and auctionend his 7 lbs. Salmon and rose 1500 Euro for the Palliative care unit at UKH in memory of  local angler and World Champion Currane Honey producer Mr. John Foley RIP.

2018 Charity Currane Salmon of the year 

Well it’s that time of year again to thank all you good people who read the Waterville Fishery report every day, I would also like to thank all the team at www.fisheriesireland.ie and Mr. Paul Burke of the Trout and Salmon magazine and Mr. Tony Gosnell of the Irish Examiner and on that note I look forward to be reporting to you all in 2019 on No Spin No Flys just Facts zone. So  Happy Christmas to you all and I hope you all have a great 2019 Season in all departments.                                                                       

11/10/18

11/10/18 Talk about the different contrasts of the weather, yesterday it was wild with little to no action and today we had bright sunshine all day with hardly a cloud in sight, with a fresh breeze from the SW with same results. And staying with the weather, tomorrow as we all know is the last day of the 2018 season and it will be a wash out ? because its Batten the hatches me hearty’s as storm Callum approaches the Currane anglers waters. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature 17.4 c.

10/10/18

10/10/18 Waterville fishery was at a standstill on the North side of Lough Currane, we start at the Bungalow and at www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com and also at www.oshealoughcurrane.com as anglers looked with dismay at a strong SE wind blowing into the North Shore. So on that strong note we head straight into the SE waves and head for the South side, there were three boats out and going by the mobile it was all quiet on the SE front in all departments. Now we head for the upper Lakes and Lough Derriana and was just as wild and in the words of Local Gillie Mr. Tom O’Shea of www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com No good, Strong SE wind blowing and that sums today’s action, you could say it was all wind and staying with the wind,

9/10/18

9/10/18 The Currane Sea Trout fly anglers called it a day even before their casts were tied this morning and for good reason, there was a strong SW wind blowing down the lake and with Storm Callum approaches Ireland fast there is a good chance Currane anglers will have another forced bank holiday in the last few days of the 2018 Season. Wind as all ready stated and good cloud cover. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature 15.2 c. 

8/10/18

8/10/18 Again the Currane Sea Trout fly anglers were let down by the weather and with a strong SW wind blowing down the Lake, that’s not surprising that their fly reels were in a silent mode on this wild day on Lough Currane and if there were any boats out there, again it would only be the odd couple.

17/9/18

17/9/18 Lough Currane was like the wild West as you can imagine Currane anglers were left stranded all day at their Salmon and Sea Trout stations as the waves pounded the North Shore and in the words of one local and I quote, you could see the white horses ¾ of a mile away or put it this way the distance from Mace Supermarket to the Butler Pool. Wind S and strong and overcast with rain in the afternoon and this evening. Yesterdays weather, maximum air temperature 16.9 c.

15/9/18

15/9/18 It was a wild day for the Currane anglers, with a strong SW wind blowing down the Lake, so as you can imagiane just the odd boat vetured out from the North Shore, mind you there could have been a few boats that ventured from the South side and if they did, going by my phone it was all quiet on the SW front. Wind as already stated and overcast with rain this evening. Yesterdays weather, maximum air temperature 16. 4 c.                                                                         

14/9/18

14/9/18 The Currane anglers were drifting with their flies and Gillie’s were holding their clients boat so their flies were hitting the right spot but sadly Lough Currane’s Wild Atlantic Salmon and Sea Trout ignored the temptations of being lured into an almighty battle and the same goes for My Noble Currane trollers. Wind West fresh with reasonable cloud cover with the odd shower, yesterdays weather, maximum air temperature 15.9 c.

Now we head for the Killarney Salmon and Trout Club and their annual visit to Lough Currane and they made a little bit of history by having their first ever Brown Trout competition on Currane and what a cracker of a day they had. So lets go to the facts of the day. 9 Killarney fly anglers headed out of from www.lakelandshouse.com This morning  to the Brown Trout grounds of Currane and it wasn’t long before hell broke out as their reels sang and as lunch was approaching to say the Brown trout were boiling would be an understatement because one angler complaine
d that he had to continue casting and catching and missed his lunch but as he said I wasn’t  browned off with a smile. By the end of their day, the Killarney Salmon and Trout anglers caught 50 Brown Trout between them and added a few nice Sea Trout but sadly Sea Trout didn’t count. Their Brown Trout of the day weighed in at 1 ¾ lbs.

Charlie Chaplin Festival 2018 

Charlie Chaplin Festival 2018 

26/8/18 Lough Currane Anglers reels were as silent as the Charlie Chaplin movies and I can assure you the Lough Currane Anglers weren’t laughing, but it was a different story in Waterville where there was plenty of Charlies and good crack as you can see by the photos. Wind NW fresh and overcast and just for the record it did make a small amount of rain but not a lot going by my boat. Yesterdays weather, maximum air temperature 17. 0 c.




   

25/8/18

Chaplin knows his lines !

Anglers waiting! 

25/8/18 The Chaplin Festival had a full cast today, but sadly the same couldn’t be said for the Lough Currane anglers, as their lines were slack and as you can see the wild Atlantic Game Fish didn’t perform to their usual standard for the lack of rain and talking of rain as you can see by the photo, Waterville will get a down pour early tomorrow morning. Wind South fresh and bright and sunny but come evening there was good cloud cover.Yesterdays weather, maximum air temperature 15.3 c.

24/8/18

24/8/18 Air temperatures plummeted and Lough Currane fly anglers blood pressure rises, so you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that it was all quiet on the SW front.

21/8/18

21/8/18 You can say without any fear of contradiction that the Currane anglers log books were not filled in this day for the lack of action in all departments, but being a optimistic you never know what tomorrow will bring. I will finish today’s notes on sarcasm of the day, I was talking to a renowned gillie this evening and I asked him, any good today, he replied 4! I can tell you I gave him a quick reply, I suppose you followed that up with a hole in one! That sums up today’s action in all departments. Wind SW light and overcast and very humid. Yesterdays weather, maximum air temperature 16.6 c.   

20/8/18

20/8/18 The Lough Currane Anglers thirst for Wild Game Fish is as strong as ever, but the Lough Currane Wild game Fish were ignoring all their flies and lures for the lack of oxygen in the low waters of Currane as they stay in deeper waters in anticipation for that allusive flood and I’m sure all anglers would second that. Wind W and veered SW at times with good cloud cover. Yesterdays weather, maximum air temperature 18 c.

19/8/18

Waterville Lake today!

19/8/18 The flood that never hit the mountains streams and rivers of South Kerry, the Currane anglers were waiting with anticipation with their fly rods at the ready but as dawn broke the Currane Anglers faces dropped with disappointment and by the end of this day this was confirmed, with little to no action reported and I can just hear the Wild Atlantic Salmon saying I told you so. Talking of rainfall yesterday, Valentia recorded 3.9 mm. Maximum air temperature 18.2.c That sums up today's lack of water and action in all departments. Wind WSW light and overcast and misty.
   

18/8/18

18/8/18 Before the weather forecast lets go straight to the action, Cork angler Mr. Martin Coveney and fishing out of www.bayviewhotelwaterville.com While fishing on the Commeragh River caught a fine 3 lbs.Sea Trout and finished his day off with a cracker of a 4 lbs. Sea Trout and Martin also reported that he lost a fine Salmon in the 10 lbs. class and just for the record all his fine Sea Trout were put back and the Salmon put himself back, you could say a well satisfied angler and there is no argument to that. Now we head down stream to the Big Lake/Lough Currane and down the North Shore to the Bungalow, US Angler Mr. Michael Quinan caught a fine 4.½ lbs. Salmon/ Grilse on the troll while trolling with his Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com Wind SW fresh and overcast with misty rain throughout the day.

17/8/18

Rainfall Prediction for Waterville on saturday!

17/8/18 Waterville is busy with the bars flooded with tourists as Currane Anglers head out on to a low Currane and hoping for an allusive Wild Atlantic Game Fish, but to be honest we anglers and fish alike are waiting for the upper Lakes and the Commeragh to burst their banks with fresh water as www.met.ie are forecasting a good down pour for over the  weekend and into next week, how much Waterville will get is another story.  Going by today’s lack of action it won’t be a lot, I will be delighted if I’m wrong. Wind light and overcast with misty rain at times. Yesterdays weather, amount of rainfall for Kerry was 3.1mm. Maximum air temperature 17.2 c

16/8/18

On a positive note they are forecasting for some good rainfall from Sunday onwards as you can see by the photos. Wind W and blustery and overcast with heavy showers this morning.

 

15/8/18

15/8/18 Lough Currane was all quiet on the SW front and at these Water levels that’s not surprising and staying in the water level department, it did make a small amount of rain early this morning going by the Finglas River, so it will be interesting will it have any effect, if any on the Wild Butler Pool or Lough Currane Game Fish. Wind SW fresh and overcast with misty rain. Yesterdays weather, maximum air temperature 17.6.

14/8/18

14/8/18 Lough Currane anglers fishing lines were very slack this day or you could say their reels were as dormant as the wild Lough Currane Fish. Wind WSW fresh and overcast and misty rain in the late afternoon. Yesterdays weather, maximum air temperature 16.8 c.

12/8/18

12/8/18 Nice Fishing conditions first thing this morning after a small bit of rain yesterday, but come midday the clouds vanished and the sun blazed down on the Currane anglers and I can tell you by the end of their day the Currane anglers were well browned off with the lack of action.

Wind W light. Yesterdays weather, maximum air temperature 18.6 c. 

11/8/18

11/8/18 The Lough Currane anglers were hoping for some rain today, well you can say at least they got their heads wet with light misty rain throughout the day, sadly the rain was not enough to activate my Noble Wild Atlantic Game fish, so one can say without any fear of contradiction, we can finish today’s notes on a low water, if you get my drift. Talking of low waters,  here is a great video by Mr. Vincent Donnelly,  Paradise! Wind SE and veered SW light to fresh and overcast all day. Yesterdays weather, maximum air temperature 17.1 c

10/8/18

10/8/18 The wind was in the West this day and my Noble  Currane anglers failed to record a Game fish to their name but in defence of the Currane Anglers I  have to confess it's the weather that is making we anglers frustrated as well as the fish for the lack water in the Waterville system. Wind West fresh with bright sunshine all day, amount of rainfall forecasted for tomorrow for Waterville is 7.3 mm approximately ? Yesterdays weather, amount of rainfall for Kerry was 2.5 mm.

Now back to today and Lough Currane anglers thought they were in luck first thing this morning with good cloud cover plus a nice light breeze from the West. Sadly I can tell you it wasn’t long before they were disappointed because come midday it was bright and sunny, at least the Currane anglers battled it out to evening but to no avail and considering Lough Currane is still very low they deserve a medal.
