28/5/2022 We start at sunrise on the World-famous Butler Pool at www.watervillegolflinks.ie and all I can say is they definitely caught the sunrise, but I can’t say the same for the Wild Atlantic Salmon. Now we head up the Currane River into Lough Currane, there were four boats out manipulating their skills and by all accounts their lines were as slack as the sunrise Pool anglers and talking of the Pool, sadly Liverpool’s net was empty as the Currane anglers net. Need I say more! Wind SW light and variable, followed by bright sunshine all day.

25/5/2022 I said last night I would put up more on the Rainbow Trout farm tonight but I’m sorry I’m going to leave it until tomorrow because one enthusiastic  Salmon and Sea Trout reader sent me a Video of the Rainbow Trout Farm in Kerry on YouTube and as I always say just click the link https://youtu.be/vYFSV8BBFpI  Now back to the present, I was informed by the hierarchy that the Currane anglers were all quiet in all departments.

 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.

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.
