Ballinskelligs Bay Today

7/4/2024. Storm Sweet Kathleen was still in control of the Currane anglers today, in the words of one Currane angler, it’s mad out there. So, on those words of wisdom we will head for the Currane anglers View, on The Mad Fishermen. Currane angler. Christopher the stage is yours.

Hi Vincent, just to let you know it was Chris the honest fisherman that was down in Waterville the weekend and was told no more camping on the upper lakes , after 35 years and most weekends up on the lakes never did the landowners have anything to say about camping overnight, they are very welcoming and often stop for a chat, I have to say I was quite taken back when I was approached by one of the committee members and told not to camp there no more, the only thing I can say is I hope they reverse their decision so all can get back to normal.

Now Currane angler Paul takes the stage.

Unbelievable how 1 or 2 committee members can have so much of a negative impact on the fishery. They should be glad of the publicity from the videos, especially as it’s a brown trout fishery these days due to the poaching on the river. No salmon or seatrout in the upper lakes for last few years.
