Mini heat wave hits Currane anglers this day with blazing sunshine from midmorning,
followed by a light SSE wind and variable and all communications were all
silent, mind you there could be some breaking news with the evening shift so
watch this space. On that note we head for the Currane anglers’ point of view,
UK Currane angler Bill has his say on the Waterville Fishery, so take it away Bill
and I quote.
The latest
issue of Trout & Salmon reports that the fish farm in Loch Ewe was closed
last November & surprise, surprise, healthy trout are returning to Loch
Maree. The detrimental impact of aquaculture became evident in 1989. Yet, the
Irish government permitted fish farming in the vicinity of Waterville and
Ireland’s best and most famous seatrout fishery. This was not in 1989, but in recent years
(after 3 decades of accumulated evidence).
What did they think would happen?
A decision that was (almost) unbelievable in its stupidity and
irresponsible to an extent that is frankly criminal. This gentlemen of the
angling fraternity (and everyone else who is concerned about the environment)
is what we are dealing with. One doesn’t need a degree in marine science to
know what’s wrong with Lough Currane. The answer is so obvious that any child
of average intelligence could spot the problem and have anticipated these
events.
