| Ballinskelligs tonight |
29/5/2023 Great
news for the Currane anglers today because the first Salmon Grilse was caught
on the troll by Currane angler Andy from Co. Clare while fishing with his
Gillie and good friend Mr. Bob Priestley, so let’s hope it’s the first of many
for all the Currane anglers. On the weather front another bright and sunny day
followed by a light variable breeze from the East to the SW to the NW come
evening.
28/5/2023 The Currane anglers were all quiet going by my WhatsApp and as I say that my WhatsApp has some good news and I quote Dónal fishing out of the Buter Arms Hotel and at www.butlerarms.com caught a 12 lb salmon on troll, only out 10 mins when he got him. Just for the record Dónal was fishing with his Gillie out of Waterville Boats and at watervilleboats@gmail.com considering the low water conditions Lough Currane proves low water or not, you always have a chance. Wind ENE and veered WNW for a while and veered back again NE

How are you Vincent if it’s any reference to your reports I hooked at fine
salmon the 8 to 10lb in the Cummeragh bay on the troll with a copper and green
Toby. Unfortunately got him to the net and he got a last lease of life and took
a fine 2-3ft jump and spat his lure. Also had a fine 2lb trout on the same
lure. Kind regards Adam Healy. Wind WNW light and variable
19/5/2023 The
Currane anglers were all quiet on all fronts so on that note we will head for
the Mad Fisherman and his famous videos on his trips to the Waterville Fishery and
in this video there’s faces well known on the Waterville Fishery and from my
blog so take it away you Mad Fisherman, the stage is all yours, just for record

| Wild Atlantic Salmon |
11/5/2023 I
start in the backdate department, my Apologies to Mr. Gerry O’Sullivan of Beenbane,
Waterville, for failing to report his fine catch of a fine 8 lbs. Salmon caught
on the troll yesterday and as you can see by the photo, or you could say I
failed miserably in my duties in reporting, Guilty as charged. Now back to the
present and I will let the Hampshire hogs have their say on today’s proceedings
and I quote. Hi Vincent, another tough day but Pete had a nice 3lb sea trout,
the last few days have been tough but 3 springers in a week isn’t a week to
complain about. See you in September. Trevor, breaking news on one of the
Hampshire Hog’s Gillie, it was reported to me after Pete caught and released his
fine 3 lbs Sea Trout, the pressure was on and as you can see by the photo the
Hampshire Hogs won by a technical knockout. Wind NNW light and variable followed
by good cloud cover.
