25/8/2026. A lively twist is exactly what the Currane doctor ordered, so let’s inject a good dose of humour into this otherwise comatose report. Just three Currane boats out today and all quiet in every department. In fact, the lake was so silent you’d swear the fish were holding a union meeting and declared a 24‑hour strike. And yes, you are absolutely correct, it’s straight to the Currane anglers’ weather chart. A gentle and variable ESE wind drifted about like it couldn’t make up its mind, followed by the odd shower just to keep anglers awake. By the afternoon the sun took full control, shining down with that smug “I told you I’d show up eventually” attitude. Yesterday’s weather: rainfall, a trace (barely enough to wet a midge), maximum air temperature 20.3°C, amount of sunshine 2 hours and 5 minutes. Currane Anglers’ humour of the day, It was so quiet on the lake that one angler swore he saw a salmon yawn. Another said the only thing he hooked was a sunburn. And a third claimed the fish w ere lying low because they didn’t want to be caught on a Tuesday, apparently even trout believe in a four‑day work week.

24/8/2026. There were three Currane boats out today and, sadly, not a single report of any C&R Salmon, Seatrout, or even Brown Trout. On that rather negative note, we’ll head straight to the Currane weather chart, a variable gentle to moderate easterly wind, veering ESE, SE, and SSE, with good cloud cover throughout the day and the sun breaking through at intervals. Yesterday’s weather: rainfall 0.0mm, maximum air temperature 19.2°C, and 12 hours 8 minutes of glorious sunshine.

23/8/2026. No reports from the Currane anglers today, and to be fair it’s hardly shocking, the lake is so low you’d nearly need a periscope to spot a salmon. As for the conditions, they weren’t exactly singing the angler’s anthem either: a Light to Gentle variable wind doing a full tour of the compass, ESE, SE, SSW, SW, and not a cloud in sight to give any hope of cover. Still, as I always say, just because nothing was reported doesn’t mean some quiet Currane angler didn’t sneak out and produce a wild fish while the rest of us were scratching our heads. Yesterday’s weather, Amount of rainfall 0.0mm, maximum air temperature 18.3°C, amount of sunshine 8 hours and 8 minutes.

21/8/2026. Good news from the Currane anglers in all departments. There was at least one Salmon caught on the troll, one C&R Sea Trout, and a good number of Brown Trout caught on the drift, enough to keep the reels ticking and the spirits high.
From there we head to the C&R River Inny. The Inny Farmer reports there was
just one C&R angler out this morning, and he gave no report, you could say
his mouth was as tight as his fly line.

The Mad
Fisherman has his story of day.
There’s great news on the Waterville horizon:
two of my loyal subscribers are arriving tomorrow all the way from Bavaria,
Germany. They’re heading out fishing with their Boatman, and fair play to them
— they told me they discovered Waterville from watching my videos. They love
every minute of them, and that’s why they’re making the pilgrimage to the home
of the Currane. They even said they probably watch your reports too, Vincent —
so you can take a bow. It’s not every day the Currane Fishery gets
international fans flying in because of our ramblings, but there you have it.
Waterville fame spreading across Europe, one cast at a time.

20/8/2026.
Just two Brown Trout boats out on the lake today, both manipulating their fly‑casting
skills with conviction, and by Jove, each boat finished with a fine basket of
Brown Trout. From there we head to the Inny Farmer’s beat. I only saw one fly
C&R angler on the Inny and received no report, so we’ll assume the river
kept its secrets today. Currane Anglers Weather Front: A moderate to fresh NNE

18/8/2026. The Currane anglers were all quiet, and I’m sure a good few had their C&R hats on as they headed for the Inny. Just for the record, the Inny Farmer reported one C&R Salmon caught on the fly.Now we go to the Currane anglers’ weather chart, wind variable, Gentle NW veering W and WNW, with good cloud cover followed by light showers and sunshine breaking through at times.Yesterday’s weather, rainfall 1.6mm, maximum air temperature 19.0°C, and the amount of sunshine was a grand total of 4 minutes.

17/8/2026. I’ll start with a quick backdate, one angler had a fine session yesterday, landing a few lovely Brown Trout around Church Island. As for today’s action, there were no reports so far of any C&R Salmon or Sea Trout, though a few nice Brown Trout were caught on the drift. Now to the good news, the Inny Farmer is in flying form, and with good reason. Over the past five days he reports a good number of C&R Salmon caught on both fly and spin, which is great to hear after the recent water.Currane Anglers Weather Chart:, Wind variable, light to gentle WNW, veering W, WSW, and SW. Good cloud cover throughout, with light misty rain drifting in and the sun breaking through on occasion, though how many hours of sunshine we’ll actually clock is anyone’s guess.

16/8/2026. The Salmon Currane anglers were all quiet, the Currane Seatrout anglers were all quiet, and yes, the Brown Trout anglers were all quiet. But, like last night, watch this space, and in this 2026 season there has been plenty of watch this space. Now we go straight to the Currane anglers’ weather chart: variable wind, Gentle to Moderate SW, veering WSW, W, and WNW, followed by light misty rain. Eventually the sun did break through at times. Yesterday’s weather: rainfall 0.0mm, maximum air temperature 17.9°C, amount of sunshine 1 hour.
Saturday, August 15, 2026
15/8/2026
15/8/2026. Just for the record, I had no reports of any C&R from my Noble Gentlemen yesterday. And before anyone says “same old story,” let’s rewind to the 13th. I reported that there were no rod‑benders, but one Currane angler was quick to put me right, and I quote, Not all departments, Vincent! We had a couple of hours in the afternoon until we were caught in the rain and had to relocate to Dooley’s. The top‑water trout fishing on Currane is excellent and always productive with good quality fish on every outing (so far). Here’s one I caught earlier!”
That certainly reeled me in and proves the Currane waters still have a few
tricks up their sleeve.
Now back to today: the Currane anglers were all quiet, but as the old saying
goes—watch this space, because Currane has a habit of waking up when you least
expect it. The Currane anglers’ weather chart, Variable light to gentle winds

| Haulie RIP |
14/8/2026, There will be no fishing reports from Lough Currane today.
It is with
great sadness that I record the passing of renowned farmer, businessman, and
dear friend Mr. Haulie O’Shea, RIP. I have many fond memories from Haulie’s
days running the Bayview. There was always a mighty atmosphere, especially when
Haulie himself was behind the bar. I’d walk in the door and the first thing
he’d ask was, “Any Salmon caught today?” And if there were photos, he’d insist
they went straight up on the wall, and up they went.
Haulie was a
great character, a pure gentleman, and a man who would never let anyone down.
His loss will be felt deeply across our community. On behalf of all Currane
anglers and the good people of Bunadreen North, Mastergeehy, Dromid,
Waterville, Caherdaniel, and all of Kerry, we extend our Sincere Sympathies to
his wife Ann, daughters Maire and Kate, son Micheal, daughter‑in‑law RóisÃn,
sons‑in‑law Ciaran and Shane, grandchildren Lily, Rosie, Michael, Séaghdha, and
Oisin, sister Peggy, brother John, sister‑in‑law Anne, brothers‑in‑law Jimmy,
Mike, Joe, and Peter, along with his relatives, neighbours, and many dear
friends.
May Haulie’s
gentle soul Rest In Peace, and may his memory remain as warm and welcoming as
the Bayview bar he made famous.
Rest In
Peace Haule

12/8/2026. There were five Currane boats out manipulating their skills on this Solar Eclipse Day, and by all accounts the anglers didn’t catch nor even glimpse the eclipse of a Salmon or a Sea Trout. Low lake or not, it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if a rogue fish did show itself; yes, it’s hardly likely, but with a good flood on the horizon you never know your luck. The Currane anglers weather chart, Wind Variable, gentle to moderate SSE, veering S, SSW, and back to S again. Heavy cloud from dawn to dusk.

10/8/2026. Another bright and sunny day for the Currane anglers. Two boats ventured out, but there were no reports of C&R action. Considering the low water levels, what do you expect? To be honest, an evening session—or a very early morning one would be my advice. Now to the Currane weather chart:Wind variable, a gentle ESE veering SE, S, and finally SSW, all under bright sunshine from dawn to dusk. Yesterday’s weather, Rainfall,1.2mm, Maximum air temperature 18.6°C,

9/8/2026. No reports from the Currane anglers of any C&R of wild Salmon or Sea Trout, and as I always say, that doesn’t mean my Noble Salmon wasn’t quietly C&R without a whisper.

8/8/2026, Just two Currane boats ventured out today and, sadly, all was quiet in every department. Not a murmur, not a stir, and certainly not a salmon to break the silence. Worse still, the weather forecast isn’t doing us any favours, we’re heading straight into another hot spell, and as every Currane angler knows, heat and fish rarely shake hands. Now we head down the line to Deenish Islandhttps://www.friendsoftheirishenvironment.org/library/deenish-aquaculture-licence-transcript-leave-to-appealAnd now we swing back to the Currane anglers’ weather chart, Wind variable, moderate to light from the S, veering SSW and SW as the day went on.

7/8/2026. Yes, you have it, the same old story. Or, as one Currane angler declared in an email, “the fishing in Waterville is worse than you’re reporting.” I’m still not sure whether that’s a compliment or an insult, so I’ll let you decide while I pour a stiff one. Now for the Currane Anglers Weather Chart, A variable SSW breeze drifting across the lake, gentle in nature, with reasonable cloud cover and plenty of sunshine muscling its way through as the day went on.

6/8/2026. I
don’t know how many Currane boats ventured out today, but you can be sure there
weren’t many, if any considering the low water levels. And as I always say,
that doesn’t mean they didn’t catch or release my Noble Salmon. Now for the
Currane Anglers Weather Chart, Wind light to gentle, NW veering W, with good
cloud cover and the sun breaking through as the day went on. Yesterday’s
weather, Rainfall 0.2 mm, maximum air temperature 17.5°C, and 9 hours of

28/7/2026
28/7/2026. My apologies again for the delay in today’s report. All I can say is that my WhatsApp was as silent as the lamb, no reports of C&R Salmon or Sea Trout coming from any quarter. As for the Currane angler’s weather chart, wind East, light.

On the weather front: a moderate NW wind kept the lake honest. And now, to all you Mayo Currane anglers who have been waiting 75 long years to lift the Sam Maguire, congratulations to you all.

Now we head
to the Inny.
A salmon
washed up on the Inny Strand, and by the look of it, it died tangled in a
poacher’s net. I received the photo the day before yesterday. My apologies to
the angler who sent it; it’s a grim sight and a reminder of the damage done by
those who take without respect.

23/7/2026. There were three Currane boats out on this bright and sunny day, and sadly I have no reports of any C&R Salmon or Sea Trout.

22/7/2026. No reports from the Currane anglers today, and that’s hardly surprising given the weather. So what can I say? Not a lot, but that doesn’t mean my Noble Salmon can’t be tempted in conditions like these.

Come the afternoon, bright sunshine took over for the rest of the day. Now for the Currane anglers’ weather chart, wind gentle to moderate NE, veering NNE.
Just for the record, that doesn’t mean that my noble Currane angler didn’t
catch a Salmon or C&R Sea Trout the same goes for the past week.

anglers in their full glory. Turning to the photographer’s weather chart, we
were under a gentle to moderate NNE breeze, shifting now and again just to add
character to the day. As for yesterday, the stats speak for themselves: not a
drop of rain, a balmy 22.0°C at its peak, and an impressive 15 hours of
sunshine lighting up the Kingdom.
Sunday, July 19, 2026
19/7/2026
19/7/2026. No reports from the Currane anglers on this bright and sun-soaked day, and by the looks of things, not a cloud in sight to give them cover. One might say the anglers were as scarce as a salmon on a scorching July noon, or perhaps they took one look at the blazing conditions and wisely declared it a day for the deckchair rather than the drift. On the Currane weather chart, the wind started light to moderate NE, later veering NNE. Yesterday’s weather, Rainfall 0.0 mm, Max air temperature, 20.7°C, Sunshine: 14 hours and 6 minutes in other words, a grand day for sunburn, a poor day for salmon, and a suspiciously quiet day for the Currane anglers, but we won’t hold that against them

No Currane boats headed out today, and hardly a shock considering the
conditions. So it’s straight to the Waterville Fishery weather report: a
variable wind swinging from NNE to N, NNW, WNW, NW, back to NW, and finally
settling at N, all under a blazing sun from dawn to dusk.
Yesterday’s weather, Rainfall: 0.0 mm, Maximum air temperature: 25.9°C,
Sunshine: 3 hours 2 minutes
It’s been a fair stretch since we’ve had a Currane angler’s point of view on
the wild Atlantic Salmon, and one thing’s for sure, the Salmon are feeling the
heat as much as we are. Low water, bright skies, and a stubborn northerly don’t
exactly inspire them to show themselves. Still, that’s fishing: the waiting,
the watching, and the hope that the next cast will break the silence
Now Currane angler has view,I hear the draft nets have had a record year, filling their quotas in no time and with top quality salmon to boot. Yet we anglers aren’t allowed keep a single fish in September. How can that be right? The weather has been brutal for fishing, the rod effort is tiny, and still the rule stands. Meanwhile hundreds of salmon are taken in the drift nets, and we can’t keep even one. It’s a bloody disgrace, plain and simple. Tom.

14/7/2026. There were no reports from the Currane anglers, and when the only word from a Currane angler is that you’d be better off heading downstream to the Wild Atlantic, because the Bass are giving great sport, that just about sums up today’s action on the lake. Now we head for the Currane anglers’ weather chart: wind gentle to moderate ESE, veering SE, all wrapped in bright sunshine.
Yesterday’s weather, rainfall 0.0mm, maximum air temperature 28.4°C, and a
whopping 15 hours and one minute of sunshine.
Currane angler Mr. Bob White, RIP, always fished Lough Currane on his birthday,
and today marks his Heavenly Birthday. Well Bob, you may be gone, but you
certainly will not be forgotten. Your rod may be resting, but your spirit is
still casting over Currane.

13/7/2026
13/7/2026. Just one Currane boat ventured out from the North on this blazing, blue‑sky day. I’d say the suntan was fierce but the lines were slack, the fish clearly took the same lazy approach as the rest of the parish.
Today’s weather chart: moderate to gentle to light to gentle ESE wind, veering
East, then SSW, then WSW, all under bright sunshine from dawn to dusk.
Yesterday’s stats: 0.0 mm rainfall, maximum air temperature 30.0°C, and a
scorching 15 hours of sunshine, tropical Currane strikes again.
12/7/2026
12/7/2026.
No reports today, the Currane fleet was either bound for Croke Park or glued to
the big Kerry v Dublin clash in the bars. And I can confirm the bars were in
mighty form last night after Kerry’s good win, followed by a touch of
controversy to keep the tongues wagging.
As for the Currane anglers’ weather chart: variable light to gentle NE breeze
and bright sunshine all day.
Saturday, July 11, 2026

Just one boat out from the North and no reports of any C&R on this hot
sunny day. Wind light NNE yesterday's weather amount of rainfall none, amount

10/7/2026.
There were three boats out on the lake today, and sadly the Currane reels
remained as silent as a church mouse. All lines were slack, and not a Salmon or
Sea Trout saw fit to disturb the peace. As for the weather chart of the day, we
were treated to light variable winds from the NNE, drifting about under light
cloud, pleasant enough for the angler, but clearly not persuasive enough for
the fish. Yesterday’s weather.
Rainfall, 0.4 mm, Max air temperature: 20.4°C, Sunshine: 9 hours and 4 minutes.
And before anyone starts writing off July entirely, let’s not forget last
week’s action, when Currane produced a respectable six Salmon and two C&R
sea trout. Proof, if ever needed, that the lake still has a few tricks up its
sleeve.
Thursday, July 9, 2026
9/7/2026
9/7/2026. Three Currane boats ventured out today, but alas, their lines spent the whole shift doing impressions of a wet shoelace, slack from dawn to dusk. As for the weather, it was a classic Currane conundrum, light to gentle variable winds flicking between WNW, West, and back again, all under a blazing canopy of bright sunshine that refused to budge. Yesterday’s weather, amount of raimfall 0.5mm, Maximum air temperature: 19.5°C, Sunshine: 5 hours 4 minutes. In short, the lake was calm, the sky was smug, and the anglers were left muttering into their reels. Anglers’ Hot Day Joke of the Day:
Why did the Currane angler bring a frying pan out on the boat?
Because with that sunshine, it was the only chance he had of catching
something, even if it was just a fried egg.
Wednesday, July 8, 2026

8/7/2026.
The Currane was all quiet in all departments, with not a whisper of action to
report. So, straight to the weather we go. Conditions were light to gentle and
variable from the WNW, veering W, back to WNW, and settling again to W, all
under a mix of good sunshine and cloud cover. As for yesterday’s weather:
rainfall came to a mere 0.1mm, the maximum air temperature reached 17.3°C, and
sunshine amounted to 3 hours and 5 minutes.
Tuesday, July 7, 2026
7/7/2026
7/7/2026. No
reports from the Currane anglers today, and as you can see from the photos,
they tell their own story. With that, we head straight for the Currane Anglers
Weather Chart: light to gentle variable NW, veering WNW, NW, WNW, and back to
NW, all under bright sunshine from dawn to dusk. Yesterday’s weather, Rainfall,
Trace, Maximum air temperature,18.7°C, Sunshine, 2 hours 9 minutes. Just for the
record that doesn’t mean Salmon and Seatrout weren’t C&R
Monday, July 6, 2026
6/7/2926
6/7/2026. The Currane anglers’ binoculars were as blank as their reels today, with not a hint of action to raise the heartbeat or the hopes. As for the weather, the chart tells its own story, a light to gentle SW breeze veering WSW, keeping the lake in a mild, unhurried mood. Low cloud dominated overhead, though the sun did manage to slip through now and again, just enough to remind everyone it still existed. Yesterday’s weather facts, 1.0 hours of sunshine and a maximum air temperature of 18.1°C. hardly tropical, but enough to keep the anglers muttering about “if only”.
5/7/2026
5 July 2026. With no reports from the Currane anglers this day, we head straight to the weather desk. The wind began in the West, later veering WSW, staying light to gentle throughout. Conditions were dominated by heavy cloud at times, though the sun made several welcome breakthroughs as the day went on. As for yesterday’s weather, the rainfall clocked in at 1.1mm, and the maximum air temperature reached 17.0°C. Another quiet day on the lake, but the weather chart kept us honest.
Saturday, July 4, 2026
4/7/2026
4/7/2026. No
reports from the Currane anglers, but that doesn’t mean that my Noble Salmon or
Sea Trout weren’t C&R.
Now we head for the Currane anglers’ weather chart, wind light to moderate
West, veering WSW, West, followed by misty rain throughout the day.
Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall, 0.0 mm, maximum air
temperature,17.0°C, amount of sunshine, 0.3 minutes.
Now we head downstream into the wild Atlantic, and for all you Bass anglers,
click. https://www.facebook.com/share/17jN1Ps5Gi/
Now we head straight back to Lough
Currane and a very serious point of view and I quote, Hi Vincent, When I read
your report last night, something came back to me. I was on the lake about two
weeks ago, and as I was coming off the water I think I may have witnessed some
illegal activity. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but after reading your
report, the memory sharpened. I remember seeing two lads, and I found myself
asking why they were out there so late in the evening.
Friday, July 3, 2026
3/7/2026
3 July 2026.
The Currane anglers headed out this morning with six boats drifting and casting
their lines, but sadly there were no reports of any C&R Salmon or Sea
Trout. However, there was a bit of disserving news from one angler, and I
quote: “Hi Vincent, I was around the Holly, looked like it was poached last
night. Loads of old twigs and weeds floating.”
Not exactly the sort of message that brightens a July evening, but it’s on the
record.
Heading downstream, one angler fished the Butler’s Pool, and as of now there
are no reports of any C&R there either.
Now for the Currane anglers weather chart,
wind, Gentle SW, veering WSW, followed by heavy low cloud and misty rain
throughout the day. Yesterday's weather amount of rainfall 0.5 mm,Max air

2/7/2026
2/7/2026. My apologies for not reporting yesterday’s facts, all I can say is that two Currane boats ventured out, but not a whisper of a C&E for Salmon or Sea Trout came across the wire. Back to today, six boats took to the lake, yet once again no reports of C&R, so we head straight for the Currane weather chart. Wind was a gentle NNW, accompanied by bright sunshine that would make any angler think the fish were sunbathing rather than biting.Yesterday’s weather, Rainfall amounted to 1.2mm, maximum air temperature reached 17.2°C, and sunshine was recorded at a grand total of 1 minute.17.2°C, amount of sunshine 1 minute.

29/6/2026. Just four boats ventured out on the lake today, and sadly I received no reports of any C&R Salmon or Sea Trout. As for the conditions, the fresh South‑Westerly wind veering SWS made its presence felt, and the lake sat under solid overcast skies from dawn to dusk, punctuated by heavy showers rolling through. Looking back at yesterday’s weather, Rainfall,1.2mm, Maximum air temperature, 17.0°C, Sunshine: 3 hours and 4 minutes. In short, the elements were lively, the cloud was stubborn, and the fish kept their secrets close.

28/6/2026
28/6/2026.
There were four Currane boats out today, and one boat saved the day by
reporting two fine Sea Trout caught and released on the drift. As for the rest
of the fleet, their reels were about as lively as a sleeping sheepdog.
Now we head for today’s Currane weather chart: a fresh WSW wind veering West,
heavy cloud dominating the skies with the sun sneaking through whenever it felt
brave enough.
Yesterday’s weather: rainfall 4.8 mm, maximum air temperature 17.2°C. That’s
your lot, proof that even when the fishing is quiet, the weather still insists
on giving us plenty to talk about.

Breaking News just in Currane fly angler Mr. Colin Lynam, fishing with his Gillie, takes all the honours today with a cracking two Salmon 8 lbs and the other at 6 lbs, both caught on the fly, both sportingly returned to fight another day. As if that wasn’t enough to keep the Currane flag flying, Colin also struck gold again the fly with three fine Trout, likewise all released. You could say the lake was in a generous mood, and Colin made sure to cash in while the going was good.
27/6/28. No reports as of yet, so watch this space. On that note, we head straight to the Currane anglers weather chart. The wind was moderate to fresh SSW, veering SW, accompanied by heavy cloud and rain at times. Yesterday’s weather, Rainfall, 0.2 mm, Max air temperature: 23°C Sunshine: 3.0 hours.

26/6/2026. There were five Currane boats out today and by all accounts their lines were as slack as a sleepy salmon on a Sunday, so on that note we head straight for the Currane weather chart. Wind was variable, light to moderate from the ESE, veering SSW, S, SSW, and back to S, all under heavy cloud with the sun breaking through when it felt like teasing the anglers. Yesterday’s weather: rainfall trace, maximum air temperature 28.5°C, and 11 hours 8 minutes of sunshine. Breaking News just in, 3 Salmon were caught on The Burlers Pool

25/6/2026. Another roaster of a day on Lough Currane, and unsurprisingly not a whisper of a report from the Currane anglers. With the heat beating down, you could hardly blame them, though I wouldn’t rule out the odd stealthy C&R artist quietly mending a rod or two while pretending to melt. Now to the Currane weather chart: a variable moderate SE wind to start, veering SSE, then slipping into a gentle SSW, SSE, SE, SSE, and finally a surprise WNW cameo. All of this accompanied by bright, unapologetic sunshine until evening, when thunder decided it wanted the last word. Yesterday’s weather: rainfall a token 0.1mm, maximum air temperature a sizzling 25.0°C, and 6 hours 2 minutes of sunshine. Now we head for backdates, over the last two weeks, thanks to the Inland Fisheries Ireland .There have been a few salmon reported caught on Lough Currane in the last couple of weeks. Four grilse, included a fin clipped hatchery fish, were caught for the week ended 14 June. Last week Anglers reported 2 salmon and 2 sea trout. Sunday was the longest day of the year and according to our Noble Gentleman, Mr Abbleby, there were a “…whopping 13 hours and 8 minutes of sunshine, you could say there was enough light for the fish to read the Farmers Journal twice over and still ignore the flies. A grand day for the longest day, even if the Salmon were playing hard to get.”

24/6/206
24/6/2026 There were four Currane boats out on this absolute scorcher of a day, and fair play to UK Currane angler Mr. Martin Henderson, who kept his cool while working his flies. It didn’t take long before his rod was bent double with a fine Grilse, the first Grilse of the Season, no less. A big congratulations to Martin and his gillie on breaking the 2026 duck.Just for the record, Martin wasn’t finished there, he also caught and released a cracking 1½ lb Sea Trout to round off his trip in style. As for the rest of the fleet, I think it’s safe to say their lines remained slack and their tempers tested.Now for the Currane anglers weather chart:Light variable NE wind veering ESE, SSW, WSW, back to SSW, then SSE and finally NNE. Good cloud cover first thing this morning, but by midday the bright sunshine took full command of the lake.Yesterday’s weather, Rainfall 0.0 mm, maximum air temperature 19.5°C, and a blistering 12 hours and 6 minutes of sunshine.
Tuesday, June 23, 2026
23/6/2026
23/6/2026. Six Currane boats headed out today under a sun so fierce it could have melted the paint off a paddle. The Currane anglers gave it their all, lures out and hopes high, but by day’s end it was clear who landed the only victory was the blazing sun itself. You could safely say my Noble Currane anglers were well and truly browned off, and who could blame them in that heat.
Now for today’s Currane anglers weather chart: a gentle NNW wind veering NW to
NNW as the day went on.
Yesterday’s rainfall was a straight 0.0 mm, maximum air temperature a sizzling
23.4°C, and sunshine clocked in at 8 hours and 7 minutes.
A scorcher in every sense, except, sadly, on the end of the line.
Monday, June 22, 2026
22/6/2026
22/6/2026.
Just four Currane boats braved this roasting day on the lake, and to keep the
record straight, not a whisper of a C&R Salmon or Sea Trout was reported.
So, with the rods silent, we head straight for the Currane anglers’ weather
chart: light and variable wind, starting East before wandering off WSW, SW,
WSW, W, and finally WNW — all under blazing, unapologetic sunshine.
Now for the compliment of the season — and I use that word loosely. I received
an email from a fellow Currane angler today and I quote: “High Vince, I just
wanted to say your reports are as bad as the spring fishing, and as you can see
by the photo, it tells you all about your reporting, it certainly has gone down
in the last few years.” Well, isn’t that a fine kettle of fish. When the
fishing’s bad, blame the reporter, a
Currane tradition as old as the lake itself.
On that note, we head for yesterday’s weather: rainfall none, maximum air
temperature 19.7°C, and sunshine clocking in at a blistering 12 hours and 9
minutes.
And to finish on a high, the Mad Fisherman is back with a new video, so sit
back, relax, and enjoy the madness.

21/6/2026.
On this, the longest day of the year, six Currane boats took to the lake, and
while I’ve no official reports of any C&R Salmon, that doesn’t necessarily
mean the Hardy reels weren’t giving the odd cheeky whisper. As any Currane
angler will tell you, silence in the book doesn’t always mean silence on the
water.
now to the Currane anglers weather chart,
Variable wind, gentle ESE veering SSE, SSW, S. Yesterday’s weather:
No rainfall, maximum air temperature 16.6°C, and a whopping 13 hours and 8 minutes
of sunshine, you could say there was enough light for the fish to read the
Farmers Journal twice over and still ignore the flies. A grand day for the
longest day, even if the Salmon were playing hard to get.

Just three Currane boats ventured out today and all lines stayed as quiet as a
church confeeeion, with no reports of action from the Commeragh or the Inny
either. On that note, we head straight for the Currane anglers’ weather chart,
light to gentle variable wind from the NW, veering WNW, W, and back to WNW, all
under bright sunshine with only the odd cloud wandering through. Yesterday’s
weather, rainfall 5.8mm, maximum air temperature 16.3°C, and 3 hours 8 minutes

19/6/26. Yesterday’s rainfall clocked in at a respectable 14. 5mm.Now to the Commeragh, where reports tell us a few Wormers were out manipulating their skills. Did they or didn’t they is the question, the same goes for the C&R River Inny. As one angler put it, “a worm a day keeps the doctor away,” if you catch my drift.Now for some good news from Lough Currane:Six boats ventured out, and a nice few Sea Trout were recorded, which is great to see. Today’s Currane Weather Chart, A gentle, variable SW wind, veering WSW, W, and back to WSW, accompanied by reasonable cloud and plenty of sunshine breaking through.

18/6/2026
18/6/2026. Just three boats ventured out today, and there weren’t a whisper of a rod‑bender or any reports of manipulations worth talking about. As for the Currane anglers’ weather chart, here are the facts: wind gentle to moderate, freshening at times, with an overcast sky followed by misty rain and the odd heavy shower to keep everyone honest.Yesterday’s weather: rainfall 3.8mm, maximum air temperature 17.5°C, and 4 hours and 3 minutes of sunshine

16/6/2026
16/6/2026. There were five Currane boats out today, and sadly not a whisper of a C&R Salmon or Sea Trout between them. The Wild Atlantic stock clearly took a unanimous vote of no confidence in the Currane anglers’ tactics. Now to the Currane Anglers Weather Chart: a variable wind, gentle to moderate from the SSW, veering South and back to SSW again, with an overcast lid clamped firmly on the lake from dawn to dusk. Yesterday’s weather: rainfall recorded at 1.3mm, maximum air temperature 16.5°C, and the sun bless its shy little heart managed a grand total of 3 minutes.

15/6/2026
15/6/2026. There were no reports from the Currane anglers today, so on that note we’ll head straight for the Currane weather chart. The wind was in a playful mood, shifting from WSW to SW, then SSW, back to SW, and finishing with another flourish of SSW. Conditions were mostly overcast, though the sun did manage to break through and remind us it still exists.Yesterday’s weather: no rainfall, a tropical for-Currane maximum air temperature of 23.8°C, and a generous 12 hours of sunshine was enough to put manners on any angler who claims it was “a bit dull”. If the fish were sunbathing, who could blame them.
Sunday, June 14, 2026
14/6/2026
14/6/2026. Just two boats out on the lake today and not a whisper of a C&R to report, so on that note we’ll glide straight to the Currane weather chart. Wind ESE, fresh to moderate, and the sun beaming down as if it owned the place.
Yesterday’s weather, rainfall none, maximum air temperature 16.5°C, and a
whopping 12 hours and 3 minutes of sunshine, enough to give even the most
dedicated angler a squint.

12/6/2025.
There were eight Currane boats out today, and their lines were as slack as a
politician’s answers in parliament, plenty of movement, not much substance.
Now we head for the Currane anglers’ weather chart, wind moderate to fresh from the West, later veering WNW, bringing
misty rain through the morning. Come the afternoon, anglers were treated to
good cloud cover and bursts of fine sunshine. Yesterday’s weather. Rainfall
3.4mm, maximum air temperature 15.4°C, Sunshine none.
Thursday, June 11, 2026
11/6/2026
11/6/2026. There were just three Currane boats drifting the lake today, and sadly not a whisper of a C&R Salmon or Sea Trout to report and the Butler’s Pool followed suit, keeping its cards very close to its chest. So, with the fish refusing to cooperate, we cast our eyes to the Currane anglers’ weather chart. Conditions were moderate in wind and overcast from dawn to dusk, with misty rain drifting through at intervals, just enough to dampen the hat but not the spirits. Yesterday’s weather, Rainfall 5.6mm, Maximum air temperature 14.4°C, Sunshine: 2 hours and 3 minutes
10/6/2026
10/6/2026.
There were four Currane boats out today, and sadly not a whisper of a C&R
Salmon between them. So, on that note, we’ll head downstream to the world‑famous
Butler’s Pool. A few anglers were working the pool, and it was reported they
lost one Salmon. Just for the record, I’m reliably informed that yesterday’s
anglers also lost one, clearly the fish are reading from the same script.
Now to the Currane anglers’ weather chart:
Wind West, moderate to fresh, backing WNW before veering West again this evening.
Yesterday’s weather, Rainfall 1.2mm, Max air temperature: 14.3°C, Sunshine: 7

9/6/2026
9/6/2026. There were no reports from the Currane anglers today, so on that note we cast our eyes downstream to the world‑famous Butler’s Pool. Great to hear there were a few fly anglers throughout day. As Shakespeare nearly said, did they or didn’t they, that is the question. Now to the Currane weather chart, a moderate NW wind, good cloud cover, and showers to keep the anglers honest, followed by a fine burst of sunshine through the afternoon.Yesterday’s weather,Rainfall 3.1mm,Max air temperature: 14.2°C, Sunshine: 5 hours 9 minutes
Monday, June 8, 2026
8/6/2026
8/6/2026.There
were two Currane boats out today, and sadly not a whisper of a C&R Salmon
or Sea Trout. You’d imagine, after the deluge we’ve had in recent days, that a
fresh Grilse might at least show a bit of manners, either to the fly or the
troll, or even just to boost morale. But no, the fish remained as elusive as a
politician’s straight answer.
Now to the Currane Anglers Weather Chart, a Fresh West wind ruled the day,
accompanied by solid cloud cover and a few hearty showers just to keep everyone
honest. The sun did make the odd cameo appearance, but only long enough to
remind us what we were missing. Yesterday’s weather: Rainfall: 8.8mm Max air
temperature: 14.3°C Sunshine, a mighty 0.6 minutes.

7/6/2026.
All Currane anglers were officially off duty today, resting on their laurels
and letting the lake do the fishing for a change. With no rods raised and no
reels singing, we headed straight for the Currane weather chart. Wind SW veered
SSW, blowing Fresh to Strong to Moderate, with gusts up to 60 km/h and overcast
followed by heavy rain at times.
Yesterday’s weather, 1.6mm of rainfall and a maximum air temperature of 14.3°C.
And now, the Currane Anglers Wind Joke of the Day:
Why did the Currane wind apply for a job?
Because it wanted to blow everyone away with its qualifications.
If only the Salmon were as enthusiastic as that wind.
6/6/2026
6/6/2026. I’ll start with the Currane quote of the season: a local Gillie summed up the state of the fishery perfectly when he said, “I have never seen the lake so quiet, it’s hard to know if there are any fish around or not when no one is fishing.” Hard to argue with that bit of Currane philosophy, and indeed, not a single boat was reported out today to test the theory.
Now to today’s Currane weather chart: wind fresh to moderate and doing a full
tour of the compass NW veering WNW, then W, WSW, and finally SW, all
accompanied by good cloud cover with the sun breaking through when it felt like
it.
Yesterday’s weather: rainfall 20.3mm, maximum air temperature 14.3°C, and a
grand total of 0.9 minutes of sunshine, which is barely enough time to blink,
never mind sunbathe.

5/6/2026. As of this morning and afternoon there were no reports to raise the Currane eyebrows, so it’s straight to the Currane Anglers Weather Chart. Wind was variable SSW, veering S to SSW, and throwing in gusts up to 60 km/h for good measure. As for liquid refreshment from above, there was a fair drop of rain this evening, enough to keep the wellies honest.
Yesterday’s weather, amount of Rainfall 5.0 mm, Maximum air temperature 13.5°C.
Just for the record, I was reading the Inland Fisheries Ireland Angling Update this evening. Over the Bank Holiday there were two Salmon reported and three C&R Sea Trout up to 3 lbs.
Wednesday, June 3, 2026
3/6/2026
3/6/2026. Lough Currane was far too wild to even contemplate venturing out, and for good reason. A strong, variable wind hammered the lake, WSW, W, back to WSW, all accompanied by fierce gusts. There was good cloud cover throughout, with the sun breaking through now and again just to prove it was still there.Yesterday’s weather: rainfall measured 0.8mm, the maximum air temperature reached 14.4°C, and the sunshine amounted to a grand total of 0.2 minutes, barely enough to light a pipe.
2/6/2026
2/6/2026. There were no reports of any Currane boats out today, so we’ll take it that all was quiet on the angling front. With that, we head straight for the Currane weather chart: wind moderate NW veering WNW, accompanied by good cloud cover, and if the sun did manage to break through, it certainly didn’t overstay its welcome. Yesterday’s weather: rainfall 15.8mm, maximum air temperature 15.8°C, and sunshine none. Just for the record, if there’s a late report, I’ll update with a Currane Angling News Flash.

Just two Currane boats ventured out today and, with no reports on their
manipulations, I’ll take it as gospel that their lines were slack and their
reels silent the Currane choir was clearly not in a singing mood.
News just in: over the Bank Holiday there were a fair few brownies caught and a
couple of seatrout met for good measure, so at least someone was doing the
business while today’s anglers were perfecting the ancient art of practising
patience.
Now for the Currane Weather Chart: a variable, moderate WSW wind, good cloud
cover throughout, and misty rain drifting across the lake like a shy guest who
refuses to leave.
Yesterday’s Weather, Rainfall: 3.2 mm, Maximum air temperature: 16.7°C,
Sunshine: 0.2 minutes. May Total Rainfall 81.0 mm.
