Peter

11/5/2025. The Currane anglers were all quiet again today — in fact, you could say it was too quiet for our Noble anglers, especially with their reels staying as dormant as a politician’s promises after election day. One Currane angler even suggested that the lack of fish is entirely my fault, claiming my reporting is scaring them off. I replied, “Old boy, if my reports had that much power, you’d all be catching salmon by the dozen,” and left him to ponder that.

Today’s Currane weather chart: wind moderate NNE with good cloud cover. Yesterday’s weather: no rainfall, maximum air temperature 13.4°C, and a generous 13 hours and 2 minutes of sunshine — though clearly the fish didn’t bother reading the forecast.

We’ll finish today’s report on a sentimental note — those were the days indeed. There’s Peter, happily enjoying his lunch out on Lough Currane, soaking up the peace and the scenery, and reminding us all of the great memories made back in 2023. A fine snapshot of simpler times, when the only thing rising was the kettle steam and, if you were lucky, a salmon.

 10/5/2026. Straight to the action, and the action was mostly in the sunscreen department. Just three Currane boats were out today, each one manipulating their skills from the North Shore to the Point of the Grassy, drifting on to the Gray Rock, sliding past the mouth of the Commeragh, and trolling by Holly Island with the bow pointed at the ledge before swinging gently toward the Bull Rock and finally slipping into the Sound. From there it was a straight run for the Major — but sadly, the only thing major was the suntan. By all accounts, the Currane anglers caught nothing but rays and a touch of humility.

Now for today’s Currane anglers weather chart: wind fresh and variable from the NE, accompanied by blazing sunshine that left no mercy for man nor salmon. Yesterday’s weather: rainfall none, maximum air temperature 13.6°C, and 7 hours and 1 minute of pure, unfiltered sunshine.

And I will finish on a fitting note: One Currane angler said he saw a salmon today — but only because the heat had him hallucinating.

        

    

 

 

 

9/5/2026

 9/5/2026. As of this evening, the Currane C&R board is still as empty as a monk’s diary — not a whisper of a wild Atlantic Salmon to report. The lake clearly decided to spend the day sunbathing rather than entertaining anglers.

So, straight to the Currane anglers’ weather chart we go. The wind came in fresh from the NE, pushing along reasonable cloud cover, though the sun kept bursting through like a lad who refuses to stay out of the pub. Yesterday’s weather delivered 7.8mm of rainfall, a maximum air temperature of 12.4°C, and — wait for it — a grand total of 0.3 minutes of sunshine. Yes, you read that right. Not even enough time to blink twice.

8/5/2026

Derrynane

8/5/2026. Another suspiciously quiet day on Lough Currane — so quiet you’d swear the Japanese outboards had taken a vow of silence. Not a murmur, not a whisper, just the odd shower sneaking in to remind the anglers who’s boss.

As for the Currane weather chart, the wind couldn’t make up its mind and spent the day doing laps: ENE to NE to N to NNW to SSE to WNW and back to N again, like a compass having an identity crisis. Showers came and went, breaking through whenever they felt like causing trouble.

Yesterday’s weather: rainfall 1.3mm, maximum air temperature 14.0°C, and 2 hours and 6 minutes of sunshine — though most anglers swear they only saw 30 seconds of it.

Now, to the Cream of Delamont: The Mad Fisherman himself takes centre stage with his first‑class videos. Brace yourself, click the link, and enjoy the chaos: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sacvO7CGK4w

 

7/5/2026

 

7/5/2026. We’ll start by correcting yesterday’s little misfire. I reported that the Currane anglers had failed miserably in their duties — only for the lake to tap me on the shoulder early this morning and whisper, “Actually, one Salmon was caught.” Nothing like putting the record straight before the rumour mill gets up to speed.

Now back to the present. As of this evening, there are still no reports of any wild Atlantic Salmon being caught, so the lake is keeping its cards close to its chest.

On to the Currane anglers’ weather chart: the wind came from the SSW before veering SW, blowing Gentle to Moderate, with reasonable cloud cover drifting about. Yesterday’s weather saw 0.0mm of rainfall, a maximum air temperature of 13.6°C, and a generous 7 hours and 6 minutes of sunshine — enough to make the fish consider sunglasses but not enough to make them rise.

6/5/2026

Ballinskelligs Bay today

In the distance Hogs Head

6/5/2026. The Currane anglers were all quiet today, and to be fair you couldn’t blame them—conditions were pure kat. The sun was blazing down on the lake like it had a personal grudge, and the variable light‑to‑gentle NE wind wasn’t exactly inspiring the fish to rise and shine. Yesterday’s weather tells its own tale: rainfall 0.0 mm, maximum air temperature 13.3°C, and 6 hours and 6 minutes of sunshine, which clearly went straight to the fish’s heads. I’ll finish today’s report by saying the photo tells the Currane anglers’ story—because the fish certainly didn’t.   

 

 

5/5/2026

Ballinskelligs  Bay Today

5/5/2026. Just two boats ventured out on Lough Currane today and, by all accounts, their reels were as quiet as a lamb—so quiet you’d swear the fish had taken a bank holiday of their own. As you can see from the photo, it was a picture‑perfect day for sea fishing… if you catch my drift. Now to the Currane weather chart: wind gentle from the NE and variable throughout the day. Yesterday’s weather: rainfall 1.1mm, maximum air temperature 13.6°C, and 4 hours of glorious sunshine.

One angler said the lake was so calm he could see his reflection—unfortunately, the fish must have seen it too and decided to stay well hidden.    

 

4/5/2026

 4/5/2026. Five Currane boats ventured out on this Bank Holiday Monday, and despite their noble efforts, every reel on the lake maintained a vow of silence worthy of a monastery. Not a whisper, not a murmur — pure Currane serenity, or pure Currane stubbornness, depending on your temperament.

Now to the Currane weather chart: a Gentle to Moderate NNE breeze presided over proceedings, accompanied by respectable cloud cover and a generous helping of sunshine. As for yesterday, rainfall amounted to no more than a trace, the mercury peaked at 14.3°C, and the sun graced us with 2 hours and 6 minutes of its valuable time. Just for the record, last month’s rainfall totalled a hearty 151.1mm — enough to keep every Kerry blade of grass feeling smug.

3/5/2026

 3/5/2026. In the words of one Currane angler out on the lake today, and I quote, “Just six Currane boats out and all blanks.” All I can add is this: may the month of May turn their luck before the salmon start laughing at us. Now to the Currane weather chart, where the wind came in Gentle to Moderate, accompanied by reasonable cloud and sunshine. Yesterday’s weather recorded 0.8mm of rainfall, a maximum air temperature of 14.1°C, and 1 hour and 3 minutes of sunshine.

And to finish, an Irish fishing joke to keep the spirits afloat: Why do Irish salmon never tell secrets? Because they know the nets have ears.

2//5/2026

 Photos Sunrise today.

2/5/2026. Six Currane boats took to the lake on this May Bank Holiday, but it was the wild Atlantic Salmon who claimed the holiday for themselves, if you catch my drift, leaving the anglers to admire the scenery rather than the reel. As for the Currane weather chart, the wind was a lively character, shifting from South to SSW, SW, WSW, W, and finally WNW, all under reasonable cloud cover with matching sunshine. Yesterday’s weather recorded 0.0mm of rainfall, a maximum air temperature of 15.5°C, and 7 hours and 9 minutes of sunshine.    

 

1/5/26

 1/5/2026. Just one boat out and no reports of any C&R from the Currane angler, so, its straight to the Currane anglers weather chart, wind variable fresh SSE veered South, SSW, followed by good sunshine throughout the day. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 6.1mm, maximum air temperature 16.4°C, amount of sunshine 1-hour 5 minutes.

Just for the record there were two Salmon caught last week courtesy of the Inland Fishery.      

30/4/2026

 30/4/2026. The Currane anglers were so quiet today you’d swear they were on a sponsored silence. Even the YAMAHA outboards were purring like they were afraid to wake someone. One could only conclude that rods, reels, flies, and lures were either missing in action or hiding in the long grass until morale improved.

As for the Currane weather chart: wind ESE, moderate to fresh, later veering SE — the sort of breeze that promises great things and then wanders off for a sandwich. Cloud cover was good, with the sun breaking through now and again just to remind the anglers what they could be enjoying if the fish would only cooperate.

Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.0 mm, maximum air temperature 

20.3°C, amount of sunshine 13 hours 6 minutes.

 

29/4/2026

 

29/4/2026. The Currane anglers were as quiet as a salmon in hiding, and to be fair, the conditions were the same as yesterday, so nobody can blame the fish for staying off the grid. The only catch of the day wasn’t a fish at all but a stunning sunset photo taken this evening by a local photoghapher A proper C&R moment — catch the sunset, release a sigh, and pretend you planned it that way. In fact, the sunset posed so perfectly you’d swear it had been practising all afternoon.

As for the Currane anglers’ weather forecast: wind East moderate with bright sunshine throughout the day. Yesterday’s weather: rainfall 0.0mm, maximum air temperature 18.9°C, and 10 hours of sunshine — enough to make even the clouds take the day off.

28/4/2026

 28/4/2026. The Currane anglers were forced to deploy their sombreros at full tilt today as the sunshine blasted down on the lake with all the subtlety of a Spanish fiesta. As for C&R reports — not a whisper, not a murmur, not even a rumour from a seagull.

So, with the lake quieter than a salmon on a diet, we head straight to the Man himself — The Mad Fisherman has his say on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8R0wYSh6y98

Now for the Currane Anglers Weather Chart: wind all over the shop — East, then ESE, then SE, then SSE, then SW, and finally W, as if the weather gods were spinning a wheel to see what direction they fancied next.

Yesterday’s weather: rainfall 0.0mm, maximum air temperature 16.7°C, and a blistering 13 hours and 4 minutes of sunshine — enough to make even the most seasoned Currane angler consider factor 50 and a siesta.

 

 

  

 

 

                     

 

27/4/2026

 27/4/2026. The Currane anglers headed out on Lough Currane on a hot, bright, sun‑splitting‑the‑stones day, with not a cloud to be seen from here to Timbuktu. In fact, it was so fierce out there you’d swear the Currane anglers had raided a Mexican market stall, because half of them were practically hiding under their sombreros to save their Currane faces from being roasted alive.

With conditions like that, it’s no wonder there are no reports as of yet of any C&R salmon — the fish were probably wearing sunglasses themselves and laughing from the depths.

Now to today’s Currane anglers’ weather front: wind from the NE, variable, light to gentle. Yesterday’s weather recorded 0.0mm of rainfall, a maximum air temperature of 15.3°C, and a glorious 8 hours and 1 minute of sunshine — enough to justify every sombrero on the lake.

26/4/2026

 26/4/26. Only three boats ventured out on Currane today, and to be honest, it was as quiet as a church on a Tuesday. Not a whole lot to report from any department — the fish clearly took the day off. Weather for the anglers: A gentle, wandering WNW breeze to start the morning, with decent cloud cover to give hope. By afternoon the clouds packed their bags and left us under bright, stubborn sunshine — lovely for sunbathing, not so lovely for catching salmon.

25/4/2026

 

25/4/2026. All honours on Lough Currane today are most deservedly bestowed upon Mr. Daniel Dwyer, who, while angling under the expert guidance of the distinguished Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy, secured a splendid 12‑lb salmon on the troll.

For the record — and for those who appreciate the finer details — seven boats graced the lake, yet it was Mr. Dwyer alone who succeeded in persuading a Currane salmon to rise to the occasion. Now for the today’s Currane anglers weather chart, the weather proved most civilised: a gentle south‑westerly breeze, occasionally variable, drifted across the water, accompanied by respectable cloud cover through which the sun broke intermittently, lending the proceedings an atmosphere of quiet refinement. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.1mm, maximum air temperature 17.9°C, amount of sunshine 1 hour.        

24/4/2026

 

24/4/2026. Starting with a spot of backdating—and a cracking bit of news it is—five fine salmon were reported caught on the troll by Currane anglers over the weekend of 19/4/2026, courtesy of Inland Fisheries. You could say the lake was in a generous mood while it lasted.

Now back to today’s reality, and sadly the generosity didn’t continue. There were no reports of any C&R from the Currane, so straight to the Currane anglers’ weather chart we go. The wind came in Fresh and then let its temper rise, pushing on to gusts Near Gale, all under a heavy cloak of cloud. As for yesterday’s weather, the rainfall was a big fat 0.0mm, the maximum air temperature hit a respectable 16.7°C, and the sunshine clocked a grand total of 0.7 minutes—yes, you read that right, 0.7 minutes, hardly enough to tan a mackerel.

23/4/2026

 23/4/2026. As of yet there were no reports from the Currane anglers, and to be fair it was fairly rough out there on Lough Currane. A fresh SE wind ruled the day, followed by gusts pushing up to 60 km/h, enough to keep most boats where they belonged — firmly tied to the harbour. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.0mm, maximum air temperature 13.6°C, amount of sunshine 0 and 4 minutes.                                 

22/4/2026

 

22/4/2026. All Currane stations were closed, and for good reason — it was wild out there with gusts hammering from 79 km/h up to 83 km/h throughout the day, all under good cloud cover. Yesterday’s weather: amount of rainfall 0.0 mm, maximum air temperature 13.2°C, and the sunshine clocked in at 4 hours 7 minutes.

21/4/2026

21/4/2026. There were no reports from the Currane anglers and to be fair it was wild out there, even though the wind was East before veering ESE. Fresh throughout, followed by gusts from 50 km/h to 64 km/h, and all topped off with good cloud cover. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.0, maximum air temperature 15.8°C, amount of sunshine 8hours.

20/4/2026

 20/4/2026. The Currane anglers were all quiet in all departments so, yes, its straight to the Currane anglers weather chart, wind variable gentle to moderate followed by bright sunshine. Amount of rainfall none, maximum air temperature 14.6°C, amount of sunshine 9 hours and 2 minutes.

19/4/2026

 19/4/2026. There were seven Currane boats out, and I’m glad to report that a Currane angler caught a fine Salmon on the troll, while the rest of the fleet passed Michael with that familiar look of why not me, if you get my drift.  Now to the Currane weather chart, wind variable, Gemtle to Moderate ESE veered, SE, S, followed by plenty of sunshine. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.2mm, maximum air temperature 11.9°C, amount of sunshine 10 hours and 1 minute.

18/4/2026

 18/4/2026. In the words of one Currane angler on today’s manipulations and I quote, 10 Currane boats and 10 blanks, and Currane angler Barry has hit the nail again, now the Currane anglers’ weather chart. Wind moderate ESE veered SE, followed by reasonable cloud cover and plenty of sun breaking through. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 1.0mm, maximum air temperature 12.9°C, amount of sunshine 5 hours 3 minutes.

 

       

 

17/4/2026

 17/4/2026. Just four Currane boats out, yes, you have it, all Currane anglers’ reels were quiet throughout the day. Now, as Currane angler Barry would say, that’s fishing for you. Now today’s Currane weather chart: wind variable fresh WSW veered W, followed by reasonable cloud. Yesterday’s weather: amount of rainfall 12.8mm, maximum air temperature 11.9°C, amount of sunshine 0.1 minute.

16/4/2026

 

Backdated to 14th April

First, my apologies to Currane angler Mr. Axel Zurbrugg of Germany for not reporting his fine catch sooner. While out trolling with his Gillie, Mr. Neil O’Shea, Axel caught and released a cracking 15 lbs Salmon. A fine fish and a fine bit of sport, and well deserving of recognition.

Now back to the Present – 16th April

As for today’s proceedings, the Currane anglers reported that it was wild out there, and by all accounts all lines were slack. Not a single rod was bent, and the lake kept her secrets firmly to herself.

Weather, Wind: Moderate to fresh, veering to strong at times, all from the SSW Conditions: Testing, lively, and not for the faint-hearted. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rain fall 19.8mm, maximum temperature 13.3°C, amount of sunshine 1 hour 9 minutes  

 

       

 

15/4/2026

 15/4/2026. Just two Currane boats ventured out today, and conditions were decidedly rough on the lake. In the words of one seasoned Currane angler, ‘Come three o’clock we were back in the harbour and headed straight for the bar.’ That sentiment summed up the day perfectly — the weather won this round.” Wind Fresh to Near Gale SSW veered SW. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 26.8 mm, 12.5°C. Amount of sunshine none.

14/4/2026

Michael and Nuala

 

14/4/2026. Just two boats ventured out on the lake today, and despite their best efforts, all lines remained slack. With the fishing quiet, it’s only fitting that we cast our attention to a far more important catch.

On behalf of all Currane anglers from every corner of the globe, heartfelt congratulations to Michael and his good wife Nuala on their 60th wedding anniversary. Now that is the catch of the day — a remarkable milestone and a great achievement by any standard.

May their nets stay full of joy and their boat steady on the waters of life.

12 June 2026. Celebrated German Angler’s Memorable Catch on Lough Currane Today, Lough Currane was graced by the presence of the well-known German angler, Mr. Axel Zurbrugg. Under the expert guidance of Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea, Axel added another highlight to his illustrious fishing career by reeling in a magnificent 10-pound salmon. It was a perfect day of finesse and skill on the water, Currane Anglers Weather Chart: A fresh breeze to a moderate wind from the WNW, later veering W.

 Currane Anglers Weather Report – 10 April 2026

Today’s Conditions:

A wild day on the lake. Winds began SSE before veering SSW, blowing hard at 54–59 km/h, with gusts reaching up to 82 km/h. Heavy rain dominated from morning to evening — your estimate of 30 mm or more is entirely believable given the conditions.

As one seasoned Currane angler put it, “today was a day for the high stool.” Hard to argue with that.

9/4/2026

 I think we will have to go on strike.”

Four boats out, not a single Salmon to show for it. When the fishing is kat, the commentary gets even better.

🌦️ Weather on the Day (9 April 2026)

• Wind: WNW, fresh to strong
• Cloud cover: Good, with occasional breaks
• Showers: Light and scattered
• Yesterday’s rainfall: 1.4 mm
• Max air temperature: 12.4°C

A proper Currane mix — enough wind to ruffle tempers and enough cloud to keep hope alive, even if the fish didn’t get the memo.

If you want, I can turn these into a running log, a polished fishing journal entry, or even a tongue‑in‑cheek “Currane Angler’s Strike Bulletin.”

 13/2/2026.I start with the sad news that renowned bar tender Ann Marie O" Shea  RIP sadly passed away yesterday. As we all know, Ann Marie worked in the Butler Arms Hotel  Fishermen's Bar for fifty years plus, Ann Marie had held court behind the bar. She'd listened to countless tales of the one that got away, celebrated triumphant catches, and offered a sympathetic ear to anglers. I  can say Ann Marie will certainly be missed by all her customers, and especially we anglers, I can just see her working in the Heavenly St. Peter's Fisherman's Bar giving out dinks to her father Jack, here mother Kathleen and her brothers Patrick, james, Francis and Timothy. So, on behalf of the Currane anglers, all the good people  of Waterville and all the good people of Kerry, our Sincere Sympathies to all the O'Shea family. 

Rest n Peace Ann MarieĹ
