to the Currane anglers weather, correction I have a backdate, yesterday I did get

No Currane anglers live report, so we head for the Currane anglers weather,
wind Fresh SSE veered NNE and variable and overcast, followed by misty rain. Staying
with the rain last night, there was a bit of rainfall, 7.7mm to be precise. Yesterday’s
weather, amount of rainfall as already stated, amount of sunshine 1hrs.6mins, maximum
air temperature 16.1c.
28/6/2024. My
apologies to all my followers on the No Spin No Fly’s zone but as of yet I have
no spin no flies facts, so on that note we will head for the Currane anglers view,
the stage is yours Brian.
Hi Vincent.
Just to go public on my concerns which I have related to you, and several of
the boatman, already privately! There are a couple of issues that need
addressing! No I. Is the online negative reactions to fishermen who keep their
salmon catches rather than
C&R! C&R is not compulsory on Currane
yet, or on a good many other fisheries, and I know people are entitled to their
opinions! But the reactionary comments can often be very hurtful - there is no
need for that kind of behaviour?? A reasonably suggestion should be that the
first caught salmon is kept, thereafter C&R! I suggest that there should be
no distinction in your reports as to whether a salmon is kept or released! The
No 2 issue with those regular reports is the negativity expressed by yourself
when there are "no rod benders," and "no screaming reels, etc."
This is very off-putting when repeated day after day! Again, I suggest that
there should be no reports at all on those day! I have always appreciated your
reports and particularly the weather conditions accompanying the favourable
reports, but the repeated negativity does nothing really to enhance my thoughts
on coming down for a weekend's fishing on the Lough! So, get back in touch with
the boatman, get some positivity into your reporting and don't differentiate
between kept and C&R catches! It's such a beautiful place to visit, fishing
or no fishing! We'll be back!
Today’s
weather, wind fresh West veered WSW, SW, SSW followed by reasonable cloud cover.
Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.7mm, amount of sunshine 0hrs.1mins, maximum

The Currane anglers did have some good action in the Grilse department today.
Wind fresh WNW followed by reasonable cloud cover and followed by the odd shower.
Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 2.3mm, amount of sunshine 1hours.9mins,
maximum air temperature 16.2c.
26/6/2024. The
Currane anglers were all quiet going by my WhatsApple. So, on that note we head
for a disappointed of Currane anglers cancellation and for good reason, yes bad
reporting the stage is yours Derek.
Myself and a
friend were due down for 2 days fishing this weekend coming but cancelled
because of the bad reports. Between the hotel, boat hire, food and drink and
other stuff we would have spent over €1000 in the community but that wont
happen now. People trying to be clever in not reporting catches are being short
sighted, true fishing reports are important especially for businesses in the
area. I wonder how many other anglers may have cancelled because of this.
Vincent Appleby of course, going there is on the bucket list but when we seen
the poor reports coming in we cancelled. We didn't see the point in driving
from Longford if the fishing was as bad as being reported but we'll go down
next year all going to plan.
Today’s
weather, Wind SSW fresh, followed by good cloud cover and rain at times?
Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.8mm, amount of sunshine 6hrs.6mins, maximum

The Currane anglers were all quiet this day, wind light NNE followed by
reasonable cloud cover at times. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 1.1mm,
amount of sunshine 0hrs.3mins, maximum air temperature 18.3c.
24/6/2024. They
say the pen is mightier than the sword and there is no argument to that, they
also say eventually the truth will come out, the reason I say this because it
has been brought to my attention that, you the Currane anglers have been
failing miserably in your duties in reporting your catches, i.e. It has been
reported to me in the last week or two, there has been a few Grilse, Sea Trout, Brown Trout caught,
all I have to say is to you the Currane anglers, is that you are letting down the
Bed and breakfast, angling tourism, restaurants, bars and shops, down big time and
if you think that I’m going to take the blame for your disgusting behaviour towards
the good people of Waterville and South Kerry your highly mistaken and just for
the record, you Currane anglers are totally to blame for my negative reporting,
and common sense should tell you that. Just for the record I've never lied on
Salmon and Sea Trout Blog and I have no intention of starting now but I will
carry on reporting 24/6/2024.Now back to today’s action and yes you have it, all
quiet need I say more, so on that note we will go to the backdate department from
Lough Derriana, Hi Vincent , sorry but I was on Derriana on Saturday Tho the
day wasn’t ideal with the cloud down I landed 3 browns all around a pound
-great sign all went back of course no seatrout or salmon sighted or caught
-regards Don. Now we head for the Currane anglers weather, wind South veered
Southwest fresh and overcast with a bit of sun at times, followed by misty rain
at times. Yesterday’s weather amount of rainfall 0.2mm, amount of sunshine 1hrs.9mins,
maximum air temperature 18.0c.
23/6/2024. My
WhatsApple was as quiet as the Currane anglers, and you certainly don’t have to
be a rocket scientist to know the Currane anglers results this day. Now we head
for the Meteorological service sponsored by the weather, wind light WSW and variable,
bright and sunny in the morning come afternoon the heavy cloud came in,
followed by misty rain at times. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 2.5mm,
amount of sunshine 0hrs.0, maximum air temperature 15.4c.

22/6/2024. The
Currane anglers were all quiet today so the least said the soonest mended, so
on that negative note we head for the weather, Wind light SSW veered SW, WSW, WNW,
NW and overcast followed by misty rain. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall
14.5mm, amount of sunshine 4hrs.5mins, maximum air temperature 15.9c.
21/6/2024.
As we all know today is the longest day of the year and going by my WhatsApple
it certainly was for the Currane anglers as their reels and lines were all
quiet in all departments. On today’s weather, there was some heavy rain this
morning, how much rainfall I will give you the facts in tomorrow’s notes. Wind
fresh WSW veered NW in the afternoon. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall
0.3mm, amount of sunshine 0hrs.3mins, maximum air temperature 15.6c.
20/6/2024. The
Currane anglers had another hard day’s of manipulations in the Salmon and Sea
Trout department this day, sadly, if it had been a hard day’s night, they might
have caught a record, personally I prefer carbon fibre to vinyl, if you get my
drift, so on that note we will go into the backdate department, the stage and
video is yours Brian. Hi Vincent!! I was down last week to no avail
fishing-wise as Lough Currane was like a millpond for most of my time there
11th through 13th! However, I went for a memorable spin with The Shy Man on the
11th! While we were trolling on that aforementioned millpond, we came across a
White-Tailed Eagle pursuing a merganser and possibly her ducklings!! The
attached video was filmed at about 10am as the eagle buzzed the merganser until
our approach! As the parent merganser left, the eagle continued to try to flush
the youngsters from the shoreline - to no avail!! We moved away altogether
rather than interfere! The eagle stayed put, so there must have been potential
prey there for it! Kind regards, Brian O'Rorke - we'll be back!!
Wind SW
light to fresh, followed by bright sunshine all day. Yesterday’s weather,
amount of rainfall 0.9mm, amount of sunshine 13hrs.8mins, maximum air
temperature 15.4c.
19/6/2024. The
heat is on in all departments so you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to
know today’s results and if I’m wrong, we all would be delighted. Now we head
for the Currane anglers weather department, wind light to fresh NNE and veered
NW late this afternoon, followed by bright sunshine. Yesterday’s weather,
amount of rainfall 0.9mm, amount of sunshine 6hrs.2mins.,maximum air temperature
15.5c.

by bright sunshine all day. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.7mm, amount
of sunshine 2hrs.3mins, maximum air temperature 15.9.c.
17/6/2024. The
Currane anglers frustration is understandable, four boats headed out on to a
low lake and by the end of their day, it was the same old story, nothing to
report. They say their frustrated, they should be in my shoes but thankfully
I’m full of it, so carry on fishing and I’ll carry on reporting. Wind NNE light
to fresh and sunny throughout the day. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall
0.0mm, amount of sunshine 13hrs.5mins., maximum air temperature 15.8c.
16/6/2024. The
Currane anglers certainly had their suntan lotion on this day, as the sun
blazed down on the Currane waters, even though there was a nice light to fresh
wind from the WNW and variable, their reels and lines stayed silent and slack,
going by my WhatsApple. Now we head for poetic Currane anglers view on drink while
fishing, the stage is yours. Beer is the secret to catching fish. In order to
think like a fish, you have to drink like a fish, Cheers.
15/6/2024. Lough
Currane was on the wild side this morning with a strong WNW wind blowing up to
41 km/h, gusts up to 56 km/h, come afternoon it calmed down, sadly no reports

sunshine 8hrs.2mins, maximum air temperature 14.6c.

WNW followed by reasonable cloud cover. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall
23.1mm, amount of sunshine 1hr.0min, maximum air temperature 15.1c. Going back to

well Holy God.

10/6/2024.
We start with a back date and even though I say it myself it’s great to report
that UK Currane angler Mr. Marcel Guillou while flyfishing with his gillie Mr.
Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com, caught and released a specimen 6lb
Sea Trout. Now back to the present, www.fishingwithdom.com reports there were just two boats out today and all quiet in
all departments. Staying with the amount of boats out, it was made quite clear to me that I have been
failing in my duties in this department, all I have to say to this Currane
angler, yes guilty as charged so let’s put the record straight, in the past
three weeks average of five boats out? on a daily basis. Wind NE light and
variable, followed by reasonable cloud cover. Yesterday’s weather, amount of
rainfall 0.3mm, amount of sunshine 3hrs.mins, maximum air temperature 15.0c.

that’s all they can do, it’s like a Carry-on film so keep carrying on fishing
lads, so on that note we will head for The Mad Fisherman and for good reason these
reports certainly wouldn’t bring a smile to one’s face. So on that note, we will
let the one and only My Noble Mad Fisherman take the stage at www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lw9vGqb3twQ&t=607s

say anglers have the patience of a saint, going by the last reported fish taken
there’s no argument to that and today’s facts there is no exception to that either,
but the Currane anglers patience will have to continue. Wind NNE light to fresh
followed by reasonable cloud cover. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.9mm,
amount of sunshine 5hrs.5mins, maximum air temperature 15.6.c.
7/6/2024. Where
do I start, well at the beginning and I can tell you that the Currane anglers ended
their day the same way they started except for their silence and that sums up today’s
manipulations and if my report is incorrect, I would be delighted. Wind NNW
light to fresh followed by good cloud cover and a few showers. Yesterday’s weather,
amount of rainfall 0.7mm, amount of sunshine 1hr.9 min, maximum air temperature
14.8c.

either, need I say more. Wind light to fresh coming from the West, followed by
the odd shower and reasonable cloud cover. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall
a trace, amount of sunshine 4.7, maximum air temperature 14.1c.

cover. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 3.3mm, amount of sunshine 5.5,

few heavy showers this morning. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.1, amount of sunshine 0.9, maximum air

2/6/2024. Another
bright and sunny day on this Bank Holiday, you can say that it was a perfect
day for a Fogarty’s 99 as it is every day, as the Currane anglers have melt
down while fishing in all departments. Now we head for the Currane anglers view,
the stage is yours Currane Anglers Bill and Phil.
OK it’s a
sunny day. But 1st June and not a seatrout in sight. This breaks my heart, Vincent. Goodness knows
what it’s doing to you and all the (I guess) now redundant Waterville ghillies.
you’re
absolutely right Bill, it’s all about greed & money with total disregard to
the environmental and wild life. Not to mention the animal cruelty in the
frequently over crowed fish cages resulting in disease ridden fish & marine
pollution. There is no reason why such operations couldn’t be located in less
sensitive locations well away from well know wild migratory fish routes &
fisheries. Truth is money talks and governments are as corrupt as they’ve ever
been.
Wind NNE light,
followed by reasonable clear skies, yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall
0.0mm, amount of sunshine 15.0, maximum air temperature 17.3c.
