                                        US Currane Angler
 

30/7/2023 Lough Currane was on the wild side with a fresh to strong SW wind blowing and only two boats reported that their lines were slack, so on that negative note we head downstream to the world famous Butler Pool and www.watervillegolflinks.ie  Currane US angler from New York, while fly fishing, caught a fine Grilse for the frying pan and I can tell you the Wild Atlantic skin of the Salmon slightly crispy is delicious and you may think I’m joking, watch the grizzly strip the Wild Salmon skin and eat it, there’s a lot of goodness in the Wild Salmon Skin. Just for the record I’m talking of Wild Salmon, So don’t argue with Grizzly. Wind already stated and overcast all day and light misty rain.

 29/7/2023 Straight to the Currane drifters, a few Sea Tout and Brown Trout were caught and released. Now we head down stream to the World famous Butler Pool and at www.watervillegolflinks.ie  US Currane angler Mr. Chip Parkhurst from the State of Ohio takes all the Salmon headlines on the Currane system and for good reason, while fly fishing caught a fine Grilse. Now we head for the C&R River Inny, it was reported to me by the Inny Farmer that there were 3 Salmon caught on the fly. Wind W fresh followed by the odd shower.

 28/7/2023 Straight out on to Lough Currane and into the fly department, renowned Kilkenny and Currane fly angler Mr. Tom Dugan fishing out of www.thecrescentwaterville.ie caught a fine Grilse and finished his day off with two C&R Sea Trout,  while flyfishing with his renowned Gillie the flyman Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com and for the rest of the Currane angers it was all quiet, you could say they had Inny syndrome? Now we motor across the Valley to the River Inny and back to yesterday’s manipulations, the Inny Farmer got some good news from one angler, who caught and released 3 Grilse of which the biggest was in the 4 lbs class all caught on the spin, staying on the C&R Inny, the Inny farmer today reported that two Salmon were caught today on the fly. Wind WSW light to fresh followed strong gusts at times and overcast.

Now we head for an anglers opinion on my reporting on the Waterville Fishery, so the stage is yours Martin so take it away Sir. Photo's like these are all too common on your site, when is the realization that 'soon there will be none' going to kick in, or are you all hell bent on ruin? If so 'Good Luck', and stop posting hard luck reports, you reap what you sow!
