 13/9/2026. Five Currane boats ventured out, and alas, not a whisper of action from either fly or troll. In fairness to the fly anglers, there wasn’t a breath of wind to help them, unless you count the gusts created when they were effing and blinding at their drifting woes.Today’s Currane weather chart, a variable breeze ranging from Light to Gentle, SSE veering S, S, SSW, and SW. Conditions were marked by good cloud cover, misty rain, and the sun breaking through on occasion, all wrapped in a blanket of heavy humidity.Yesterday’s weather, rainfall measured at 7.8 mm, maximum air temperature 19.7°C, and sunshine amounted to a grand total of 0.2 minutes, barely enough to tan a midge. And to finish, an Irish fishing joke for good measure: A Kerryman was asked if he ever talked to the fish while out trolling. “Only once,” he said. “And what did the fish say?”

“Nothing… the Fecker was ignoring me like everyone else on the lake.”
