On May 4^th, June. There have been no reports of any Catch & Release Salmon or Sea Trout. Therefore, we turn our attention to a retrospective view from The Currane anglers. We invite Mr. Bill Bullick to share his perspective on this matter.

Thank you, Vincent, as always.  We should now be in peak seatrout season. Just 10 years ago, boats were coming in with 2-4 trout every day. I know because I was there. Fish averaged 2.5-3lb, with the odd specimen. How things have changed.  All because of the criminal decision to allow fish farms to expand adjacent to Ireland's most valuable remaining seatrout fishery. That scuppered my plans (and my friends' plans) to spend significant periods of our retirement in Waterville. To say I am disappointed is an understatement. Frank & Anne Donnelly were excellent hosts and we really enjoyed the area - with its friendly people and excellent restaurants. We loved the place. I can only imagine how the professional ghillies feel. 😡  

Today's weather conditions for Currane anglers include gentle to fresh winds, variable from WNW to W, WSW, and W, accompanied by cloud cover and occasional showers. Yesterday's weather recorded a rainfall amount of 0.7 mm, a maximum air temperature of 14.7°C, and 5 hours and 1 minute of sunshine.
