 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

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.

Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.0, maximum air temperature 15.8°C, amount of sunshine 8hours.

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.

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.

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. Just two Currane boats ventured out today, and conditions were decidedly rough on the lake.

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.

12/4/2026

 

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.

 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.”
