7/10/2024. I
start with the E.M.H Appleby Memorial cup,
sponsored by Fogarty’s Centra, Waterville, and a great prize of a €100 voucher,
which was won by local Currane Angler Mr. Mike O’Dwyer, for his great catch of
an 11lbs. 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.
6/10/2024. Straight to the flood, the amount of rainfall was 39.8mm. That doesn’t include mountainous rainfall. Now we head for the backdate department from the Currane angler reports on the 4th October. One C&R Sea Trout angler fishing late that evening caught and released 9 trout, the biggest was in the 3lbs class. Now back to today, as of yet no reports which isn’t surprising after that big flood and just for the record there was a fair bit of rainfall today, wind fresh South and overcast all-day. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall as already stated, amount of sunshine 0hrs,0mins, maximum air temperature 16.5°c.
5/10/24. It was batten down the hatches as forecasted as
the rain pelted down and followed by strong gusts up to 74km/h. Yesterday’s weather,
amount of rainfall 10.2mm, amount of sunshine 0hrs.1mins, maximum air
temperature 15.7°c. Back to today’s rainfall, will give you all the facts in
tomorrow’s notes.
4/10/2024. The C&R Seatrout Currane anglers flies were
all quiet this day, going by WhatsApple. Wind fresh South, veered SSW, S, and overcast
all day. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 6.6mm, amount of sunshine 0hrs.6mins,
maximum air temperature 16.7°c. Staying with the weather, going by the forecast
tomorrow will be a day for the high stool, with gusts SSE up to 72 km/h. Followed
by heavy rain, amount of rainfall forecasted for Lough Currane is 65.0mm and as
I always say that doesn’t include the amount of mountainous rainfall.
3/10/2024. No
reports and in the words of one Currane angler and I quote, I believe there
were no boats out today but you can put a question mark on that, so that sums
up today’s notes. Now to the weather, Wind moderate to fresh, SE, veered SSE, followed
by good cloud cover all-day. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.1mm,
amount of sunshine 5hrs.0mins, maximum air temperature 16.7°c. Amount of
rainfall for the month of September 46.6mm. Staying with the weather, Kerry on an
orange rain warning so click for the facts https://www.met.ie/

my WhatsApple. Wind gentle NE followed by reasonable cloud cover at times. Yesterday’s
weather, amount of rainfall 1.4mm, amount of sunshine 6hrs.0mins, maximum air
temperature 14.9°c.Now back to Last night, now we head to the Lobster Bar, and I can tell you there
was a cracker of an evening with the traditional Bacon and Cabbage. Now to the presentations
for the cups to the wooden spoon and ended with a good sing song contest. So
here are the facts of the 2024 Season. Tom Duggan got the Vincent o Sullivan
memorial cup for the first salmon caught on the fly as well as the Paddy Carey
cup for first salmon of the season. Dominic McGillicuddy got the priest and a
voucher for being the gillie for Tom Duggan, Chef Tam got the wooden spoon. Now
the singer of the night goes to Eileen Murphy, who got singer of the year with
her performance of her song the bike, Mrs. Nuala O’Sullivan came a close second.
I will finish off by saying a big thank you to the Lobster Bar, Management and all
their staff for a great evening had by all.
