5/6/2023

 

5/6/2023 To all holiday makers and especially the Currane anglers remember in theses roasting conditions to head for Fogarty’s Centra Moo’d ice cream parlour, I can assure you one won’t be disappointed because of the amount of multiple flavours of ice cream of your choice and as I always say the truth of the ice cream is in the eating of, as you can see by the photo we weren’t disappointed.

Now we head out on to a bright and sunny Lough Currane with Currane angler Mr. Pat Bridgeman and in his own words, Hi, Vincent, Took the kids out on lough Currane, trolling got two nice sea trout in half pound range nice to see kids release them was lovely to get out. Pat Bridgeman. For the rest of the Currane anglers it was all quiet. Wind ESE veered WSW light and variable. Just for the record there were 8 boats out come after

Sunset this evening 

4/6/2023 Sombreros were the order of the day as the sun blasted down on a low Lough Currane, so you don’t have to be a mathematisation to know today’s Game Fishing results. Wind Light and variable, you could say it went around the clock and not a cloud in sight.

3/6/2023

Wild Atlantic Way

3/6/2023 The Currane anglers headed for shelter as the sun blazes down and takes control on today’s manipulations on a sunny and hot Lough Currane and talking of a hot one, A Currane angler isn’t too happy on where he get’s his Salmon Licence or I should say the distance he has to go to get it, I will say no more and let this Currane angler have his say on this problem, so take it away Currane angler the stage is yours.

Dear Vincent, it’s come to my attention that you can no longer purchase a Fishing License in the Village Tackle Shop the Chemist  Shop although you can buy Tickets for the upper Lakes & the River Inny not sure why this is the case tried to buy a License there in March and couldn’t.

Regards, 

A Currane angler

Just for the record I have a good few emails on the 2023 Currane Salmon Licences and I can say they weren’t as polite as the one above, some inferred it was my fault and all I can say is Not Guilty.

1/6/2023

 

1/6/2023 The sun was blazing down on Lough Currane, so one doesn’t have to be a rocket scientist to know today’s headlines, more like slacklines in my opinion, going by WhatsApp. So on that note we head for Luton and bring me sunshine video of Kerry by Currane Angler Mr. Gary Humphrey, so Gary take the stage, God only knows what the Mad Fisherman will think of it.

Brod RIP

Stroll by the lake and think of me, I’m not that far away, Know I’m where I need to be,  I’m just gone fishing for the day,  While by the water’s edge you go, Take time a simple prayer to say, And in your heart, I’ll let you know,  I’m just gone fishing for the day, The last time you and I were here,  A rainbow graced our lake-bound way,  A sign that I am always near,  I’m just gone fishing for the day.

 4/4/2023 There were 7 boats out today and all was quiet on all fronts and in the words of the flyman of www.fishingwithdom.com and I quote, no good. Wind South light to fresh and overcast, come lunchtime the rain lashed down and still is, it will be interesting to see how big the flood is and staying with the rain the amount of rainfall for March was 185.9 mm and that doesn’t include mountainous rain fall.
