12/10/2024. Just one good C&R Sea Trout caught by the Currane angler as you can see by the photo, there was a nice wave on the lake so I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a few nice Trout caught this day but that’s only my opinion, so on that note we go to a one happy Currane angler who won the E.M.H Appleby Memorial cup for catching a fine 11lbs.9oz Spring Salmon, sponsored by Fogarty’s Centra, Waterville, and a great prize of a €100 voucher and all was presented by Mr. Patrick Fogarty of Fogarty’s Centra, Waterville. Again, I must give a big thank you to Fogarty’s Centra for Sponsoring the E.M.H. Appleby Cup and a big Congratulations to Currane angler Mike Dwyer for winning the E.M.H. Appleby Cup. Now to Currane quote of the day goes to Mr. Patrick Fogarty of Fogarty’s Centra, let’s keep it going, all I can say is roll on 2025. Wind moderate to fresh WNE veered NNW, N, NNW, followed by the odd shower. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.1mm, amount of sunshine 5hrs.4mins, maximum air temperature 13.4°c. As I have being saying this for well over 20 years, well it’s that time of year again and yes you have it, first of all I would like to say a big thank you to you the readers of the Blog and my Facebook page and especially Mr. Myles Kelly and all the team in the Inland Fishery Ireland for their great support as always, this 2024 season. So, on that note I can’t wait for the 2025 Season, Happy Christmas to you all and stay safe and I’m looking forward to January 17^th, 2025 and writing on The No Spin No Fly’s just Facts Zone.

Salmon, caught on the troll. All I can say is My Father and especially my Uncle would be delighted that he won it, you might say why? well that’s classified. Now to today’s report, well as of yet no reports but to be fair to the C&R Currane Sea Trout anglers after that big flood the lake would be on the rise for three days and that’s not surprising with 61.6mm in the last three days and that doesn’t include the mountainous rainfall. Going back to the lake that doesn’t mean you couldn’t catch a fine trout. Today’s weather, Wind fresh South and veered Southeast followed by heavy cloud all day and a few heavy showers. I will finish by saying a big Thank You to Patrick Fogarty of Fogarty’s Centra, Waterville from the Appleby Family for supporting the E.M.H Appleby Memorial cup and the Waterville Fishery.

There was a reasonable flood last night with 20.9mm of rainfall, so you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that my Noble Currane anglers had their Inny hats on today, on lakeside I would say the lake was on the dirty side going by the amount of rainfall.

22/8/2024

 

22/8/2024. No reports from the lake or the Inny but going by yesterday’s rainfall of 10.8mm, you can put your wages on the Inny that they had their Inny hats on today, fish or no fish, so I will leave that to your skills and knowledge if you get my drift. Wind moderate WNW veered W, WSW, SW. Yesterday’s weather amount of rainfall as already stated, amount of sunshine 0hrs.2mins, maximum air temperature 17.4°c.    

21/8/2024

20/8/2024. Straight to the action on the Commeragh River and you can say it was a case of the early birds that caught their worms, it didn’t take long before they caught a number of Salmon and Sea Trout, staying on the Commeragh there were two Salmon caught yesterday.

Hi Vince, just one Salmon to report and believe it or not he lost it, I can tell you he was one unhappy angler, I said to him, so what it’s all catch and release anyway, he replied that’s not the point, all I can say Vince there’s no pleasing you anglers.

12/8/2024

 

12/8/2024. No reports from the lake as of yet, but to be fair that’s not surprising after last night’s thunder and lightning and followed by most importantly the heavy downpour’s and just for the record there was 13.6mm of rainfall and as I always say that doesn’t include mountainous rainfall, so you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know the Currane anglers had their Inny C&R hats on?

11/8/2024

 

Sunrise today at Waterville bridge 

11/8/2024. We start with yesterday’s invaders, I was politely told that my notes were highly exaggerated on the amount of boats taken out by the  C&R lough Lein Anglers club, so lets put the record straight. In the words of one renowned Killarney Angler and I quote, 3 brown trout won and 2nd had 3 from what I heard, C&R lough Lein Anglers club few 1,s definitely not 18 boats out.

All I can say is typical false news by the Currane CNNA. Now to today’s manipulations no reports as of yet but to be fair it was fairly rough out there as you can see by the gusts, Wind fresh to strong SE veered SSE, gusts up to 61km/h and very humid and overcast followed by misty rain and heavy times this morning. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.0mm, amount of sunshine 10hrs.3mins, maximum air temperature 18.4c.   

10/8/2024

 10/8/2024. I believe the Currane anglers were invaded by the Killarney Brown Trout Anglers for their yearly Brown Trout C&R competition this day and I think there were 18 boats competing? today fair play to them. On the Currane Salmon and Sea Trout and Brown Trout manipulations no reports as of Yet. Going back to the Killarney Brown Trout anglers I might have some info in tomorrow’s notes. Wind light WNW veered west, WNW, NW, followed by bright sunshine for most of the day. Yesterday’s weather amount of rainfall 0.1mm, amount of sunshine 4hrs.2mims, maximum air temperature 18.8c.   

9/8/2024
