28/9/2022 I start with an apology to Currane anglers Mr. Brian O’Rourke and Mr J. McCormick and their Gillie and for good reason, I failed to check my messages last weekend so I will put the record straight, In their own words so take it away Brian, Hi there!! We - being Wicklow men Brian O’Rourke and Mr J. McCormick - arrived Friday evening and fished for an hour on Lough Currane, to no avail - medium ENE wind, poor conditions - made up for it mind, with a couple burgers in The Lobster Bar!! On Saturday morning, we were taken out onto Lough Currane by The Shy Man for the day, to no avail except for a few brownies, conditions ENE medium wind, good light!

On Sunday, we went to a small private lake in the upper Currane system, with the Shy Man again as our ghillie, caught a small salmon and 3 sea trout around 2LBs each and a multitude of small-ish brownies, conditions W and WNW light to medium, good light!

This morning we went back to that lake unaccompanied and had a few good rises and small brownies; conditions on that lake NNW winds strong to mild, but very bright!! We had fished out of Lakelands guesthouse, so thanx to Anne Donnelly of www.lakelandshouse.com and The Shy Man for a great weekend!! That's it Vincent!! I might be back down again at the end of next week with different company!! Brian.

Now back to the present there were a few Sea Trout caught on the drift. One boat fishing out of Waterville Boats with their gillie at watervilleboats@gmail.com caught 3 trout of which the best was 2 lbs. No report on the C&R River Inny my Noble C&R anglers were keeping quiet maybe with delight or embarrassment, I will leave that to your imagination. Wind NNW light to fresh and overcast followed by the odd shower in the morning.
