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.

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. Wind as already stated and overcast. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature 15. 1 c.

3/10/18

3/10/18  Currane fly anglers were looking for wind first thing today so they could present their selection of flies, but as the day went on they couldn’t make it a point to entice a Sea Trout to their droppers, but after a hard season they are exonerated of any criticism. Wind W then veered SW light to calm at times and overcast. Yesterdays weather, maximum air temperature 14. 3 c
