31/8/20
There were four boats manipulating this day and I can say without any fear of
contradiction there was no chequebook or pen for their efforts, but having said
that, one bit of interesting news, it was brought to my attention that Lough Currane
is still filthy after the big flood seven days ago! Wind fresh South and
variable, humidity 96%. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature 16.2
centigrade.
30/8/20 All quiet on all fronts this day. Wind West Northwest and veered Southwest in the afternoon, light with bright sunshine all day and come this evening there was a nice Mackerel sky, is there rain on the way and if there is the converted Inny anglers will be smiling? Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature 16.0 centigrade.
29/8/20
Lough Currane was on the quiet side in all departments, with a light to fresh
wind from the Northeast, humidity 72%. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air
temperature 17.1 centigrade.
28/8/20 Not many boats out this day and for good reason, the Big Lake hasn’t settled down after the big flood, once it does with any luck we should have some good fishing in September especially on the drift, but time will tell and if I’m wrong please don’t quote me! Wind Northeast light to fresh with reasonable cloud cover, humidity 75%. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature 17.7 centigrade.
27/8/20 In the words of local Gillie Mr. Tom O’Shea of www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com and I quote, Westerly wind blowing down the Lake, Lough Currane is still dirty after the previous day’s rain, well that sums up today’s manipulations, humidity 88%. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature 17.8 centigrade.
26/8/20 Lough Currane was filthy dirty this morning and for good reason, there was big a flood coming down the Commeragh this morning, just for the record it was reported to me that 82mm of rainfall fell yesterday and early this morning. Wind Southwest light to fresh with reasonable cloud cover, humidity 87%. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature 17.5 centigrade.
25/8/20 Before
we go to today’s big flood, just for the record in the past few days, the Currane
anglers have caught a few Salmon and a good number of Sea Trout on the drift.
Now back to today’s flood, well Valentia observatory recorded 52 mm of rain
fall last night, as you can see by the video of the Inny there was a fine flood
coming down. You do not need to be a rocket scientist to know where the Currane
anglers were manipulating their skills, to be fair Lough Currane was a No go
for most of the day because storm Francis was still blowing his trumpet. Wind
West Northwest fresh to strong and overcast followed by showers, humidity 89%.
Yesterday’s weather, rainfall as already stated maximum air temperature 17.3
centigrade.
24/8/20 Well
the Inny anglers are anticipating a big flood, I can tell you the heavy rain
has already started this evening; their forecasting 18 mm of rainfall, give or
take for Waterville. On today’s action the Currane Anglers were all quiet on
all fronts. Wind Southwest light to calm and veered East Southeast this evening
and overcast all day, humidity 95%. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air
temperature 17.2 centigrade.
23/8/20 All
quiet in all departments, you could say, the Inny and Currane anglers were as
silent as the lambs. Wind West light to fresh and overcast all day, followed
by the odd heavy shower, humidity 94%. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air
temperature 16.6 centigrade. Attention all Inny anglers keep your catch and
release hats on because there is a big flood forecasted, starting late Monday, the main event on Tuesday.
22/8/20 The Currane
Anglers still have their Inny catch and release hats on today, as there was a reasonably good flow. Going back to Lough Currane what boats were out were all quiet on
all fronts. Wind WSW light to fresh with good cloud cover with rain at times.
Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 8.1mm. Maximum air temperature 17.8
centigrade.
21/8/20
Lough Currane was on the wild side this morning with a strong South Westly wind
blowing, come afternoon slightly moderated, but to be honest, wild or not, the majority of Currane anglers would
have had their Inny catch and release hats on. Today’s weather, humidity 89%
with good cloud cover followed by a few heavy showers. Yesterday’s weather,
amount of rainfall 12.3 mm. maximum air temperature 18.5 centigrade.
20/8/20
Storm Ellen certainly left its mark in last night’s rain department with
Valentia recording 34.4 mm of rainfall and that does not include today’s rainfall.
As you can imagine the Waterville anglers had a great choice of Rivers, starting
with the C&R River Inny, Commeragh River and of course not forgetting the World-Famous
Butler Pool. Where the upper Lakes and Lough Currane are concerned, a strong
Southwest wind dictated today’s procedures for most of the day. Today’s
humidity 90%. Yesterday’s maximum air temperature 21.2 centigrade.
19/8/20
Lough Currane was all quiet on all fronts. Wind light and variable and very
humid at 90%. To be fair to the Currane anglers, they would be more interested
in securing their boats down in anticipation of Ellen. One can say without any
fear of contradiction everyone is waiting for Storm Ellen and hoping for the
best that we all will get away with it lightly, especially our good neighbours
Co. Cork who are on a Red alert, so all I can say is to the Island of Ireland keep
safe and batten down the hatches. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature
20.4 centigrade.
18/8/20 Currane
Anglers were all quiet on all fronts as we wait for Storm Ellen to hit Kerry,
you could say the calm before the storm, as you can see by the photo. Currane was
on the calm side with a light Westerly wind and variable with reasonable cloud
cover. Just for the record Storm Ellen’s status orange for Galway, Mayo, Clare,
Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Waterford. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature 18.6
centigrade.
17/8/20
Lough Currane was as calm as a lamb in all departments. Wind was here, there
and everywhere, so I will leave it to your own imagination, with reasonable
cloud cover. The same goes for the Inny. Today’s humidity 93%. Yesterday’s
weather, maximum air temperature 20.0 centigrade.
16/8/20 The Lough Currane Anglers were all quiet as you can imagine as they put their catch and release Inny hats on and headed for the Inny for a few rod benders, except for one angler made the wrong turn and headed out into Ballinskelligs Bay, as you can see by the picture. Now back to yesterday’s flood in Kerry The River RoughtyIn Kenmare was in full blast as you can see when you click the link, thanks to Mr. Jerry O’Sullivan of Radio Kerry. Wind WSW light with bright sunshine in the morning, it became more overcast in the afternoon, yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 32.6 mm. Maximum air temperature 18.6 centigrade.
15/8/20 Well
in yesterday’s notes I said the Inny catch and release anglers did not get
their flood, well they did not have to wait long because last night and early this
morning the heavens opened and thunder and lightning struck the Inny and went
into a raging flood, I can tell you come this lunchtime the Inny catch release
Anglers were in full swing or put it this way they dam well ought to be because
going by the Inny detective agency, this is the best season for a good many
years, I can say without any fear of contradiction the Porkies have been caught
and released without charge. Now we head for Lough Currane, all quiet on all
fronts, you do not have to be a mathematician to work out the angler’s common
denominator! Wind West Southwest light to calm and overcast and very humid at
96%. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature 20.9 centigrade.
14/8/20 Well the Inny Catch and release anglers did not get their flood, well that’s nature for you, so on that note we will head out onto Lough Currane where there were five boats out manipulating their flies and lures on this very humid day at 96%. You do not need to be a Rocket scientist to know that their efforts were in vain. Wind Southwest light and overcast all day. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature 20.0 centigrade.
13/8/20 Again today very humid, followed by heavy showers, wind exceptionally light and variable mainly from the Northeast, humidity 95%. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature 20.6 centigrade.
12/8/20 Another hot and humid day for the Currane Anglers, followed by a variable light to calm North-Northwest wind. so, the least said the soonest mended on the Wild Game fishing on Lough Currane. The only good news is there is thunderstorms and heavy rain forecasted for tomorrow? so that should put the Inny Anglers Smiling, plus it would be nice to see a Catch and Release Inny Video. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature 20.8 centigrade.
11/8/20
Again the hot bright sunshine was the order of the day, so you do not have to
be a rocket scientist to know that the Currane Anglers were all quiet on the Southwest
front. Wind light Southwest and variable, humidity 89%. Yesterday’s weather,
maximum air temperature 20.4 centigrade.
10/8/20 Lough Currane Anglers were all quiet on all fronts, that is not surprising considering there was a light to calm Northeast wind and variable and very humid at 85%. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature 19.8 centigrade.
9/8/20 Blazing Saddles again on Lough Currane, there were a couple of boats out on the Southside, sadly I missed them as you can see from the Southside video. Wind light to calm from the West and bright sunshine with reasonable cloud cover at times. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature 19.1 centigrade.
8/8/20 There
were four boats out manipulating on this blazing sunshine day and as you can
see by the video today was an angler’s nightmare and going by the quietness of my
mobile confirms this? The wind did eventually get up from the West light,
humidity 89%. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature 17.9 centigrade.
7/8/20 Bright sunshine was the order of the day and very warm with light winds and variable, humidity 88%. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature 18.5 centigrade.
6/8/20 All
quiet on the Southwest front. Wind SSE light to fresh with reasonable cloud
cover, humility 93%. Yesterday's weather, amount of rainfall 19.4 mm. Maximum
air temperature 17.2 centigrade.
5/8/20 Flood
was spot on. There were a couple fly Anglers fishing The Butlers Pool this
morning but as of yet no reports from the world famous Butler Pool and of www.watervillegolflinks.ie the same goes for the Inny and Commeragh Rivers and
the same goes for the Currane Anglers and as I have said many times the
majority of the Currane anglers had their Inny pro C&R hats on. Wind West
light with reasonable cloud cover, humidity 88%. Yesterday’s weather, maximum
air temperature 19.0 centigrade.
Breaking News On the World Famous Butler Pool and at www.watervillegolflinks.ie in past two day's 3 Salmon caught
4/8/20 All
quiet on the Southwest front, the same could not be said on the weather front
and for good reason, Kerry is on a yellow rain warning, just for the record,
Waterville is forecasted to get 13.5 mm of rainfall but if you take the
rainfall in high mountains into consideration it could be a lot more? Wind
South Southwest light and overcast followed by rain coming in this evening.
Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature 17.5 centigrade.
1/8/20 All
quiet on all fronts. Wind Southwest light with reasonable cloud cover followed
by the odd shower, humidity 90%. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 16.8
