quiet on the Currane waters in all departments. Wind WSW light to fresh with
reasonable cloud cover followed by the odd heavy shower.
21/5/2022 As we all know if you have been reading the Salmon and Sea
Trout news in the last few day’s, Northern Ireland Currane angler Mr. Andy
Wishart and his lonesome boatmen Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com caught in total
5 Salmon for their great efforts but they also got themselves a record, if I’m
not mistaken because four of their Salmon were Hatchery Salmon, so
congratulations to Andy and his Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com on their record
and of course not forgetting the workers up at the hatchery. Now to today’s
action and facts, for starters there were six boats out manipulating their
flies and lures and it’s the Noble art of flyfishing that takes all of today’s
Salmon headlines and for good reason, Cork Currane fly angler while flyfishing
with his Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com caught a fine
Salmon on the fly. Wind SW and veered SSW light to fresh with reasonable cloud
cover.
20/5/2022 The Currane anglers were all quiet in all departments this day. Wind West light to fresh.
19/5/2022
All the Salmon headlines go to guess who? Yes, you have it, Northern Ireland Currane
angler Mr. Andy Wishart who caught a cracker of a 9 lbs Salmon while trolling
with his lonesome Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com for the rest of
the Currane Anglers it was all quiet in all departments. Wind SSW fresh to strong
with good cloud cover.
18/5/2022 The
Currane anglers headed out on to the rough waters of Lough Currane and come
lunch time they called it a day and headed for calmer waters like the high
stool. Wind SSE wild, followed by heavy showers.
17/5/2022 We start in the number of boats out on the waters of Lough Currane today, there were two and that’s a fact and the other fact is that Northern Ireland and Currane angler Mr. Andy Wishart caught a fine 10 lbs Salmon on the fly, with his Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com again one can say that Andy and Dominic weren’t lonesome in the Salmon fly department. Now to the apology department, yesterday Mr. Andy Wishart sent a fine picture of his fine 10 lbs. Salmon which I failed miserably in my duties because I failed to put it up with the report, I Checked text and WhatsApp but failed to check my email. Wind SSW and veered South late in the afternoon with good cloud cover.

There was just the one boat out this day manipulating the Currane waters and what
a cracker of a day for renowned all round Currane angler Mr. Andy Wishart from
Northern Ireland and for good reason, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Dominic
McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com
caught 3 Salmon all in the 9 to 10 lb class, two were caught on the troll and
one on the fly, sportingly released two Salmon and finished their day off with a
fine 2 lbs Sea Trout. Andy’s quote of the day, I can say the Lonesome boatman and
I didn’t have a lonesome day in the Salmon or the Sea Trout department today
and there’s no argument to that. Wind SSW and variable with reasonable cloud
cover.

the Game fishing action comes from Vincent’s Harbour and renowned all-round angler
and Guide on the Waterville Fishery the one and only Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy
of www.fishingwithdom.com caught and
released a fine 4 lbs. Seatrout while trolling today. Now to the Spring Salmon
and the Brown Tag saga ended on a stalemate today to the best of my knowledge and
if I’m wrong, I can say without any fear of contradiction those Brown tag
anglers failed miserably in their duties. Now joking apart as from tomorrow Waterville
Fishery is back to where it should be with all rods firing, so come on down and
let battle commence. Wind NW light to fresh with reasonable cloud cover and
followed by the odd shower.
10/5/2022 The

is your last chance at the old Currane saloon. Wind SW fresh to strong at times
followed by the odd heavy shower and overcast all day.

They Say you can’t keep a top-class angler’s fly reel from singing the Currane anthem
and today was a perfect example of that and you don’t have to be a rocket scientist
to whom I’m writing about and yes you have it, the renowned flyman, Gillie Mr.
Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com
while fly fishing with his Brown Tag client caught a fine 9 lbs. Salmon and
finished their day off with a fine 3
lbs. Sea Trout which is great news to end on today’s notes. Wind SW fresh to
strong followed by heavy rain at times.
8/5/2021 All Salmon headlines come from the North shore and Vincent’s harbour, so straight to the action, Currane Brown Tag Man, while fishing in the trolling department with his Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com caught a cracker of an 11lbs. Salmon and as other anglers looked on they saw the Brown Tag Man’s Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy net his fine 11 lbs, Salmon, you could say they were Browned off. Wind South and veered SSW light to fresh with good cloud cover.
