April 29, 2025. This is an update from the Inny Farmer. Hi Vince, apologies for the delay in communication. Over the weekend, there was one salmon caught on the Commeragh River. As the saying goes, it is the early bird that catches the worm. Staying with the past weekend, we proceeded downstream to Lough Currane, where at least one salmon was reported to have been caught. Returning to current events, according to updates from Currane anglers, fishing activities were minimal with no notable catches today. The wind conditions were moderate and variable, shifting from ESE to SE and SSE, accompanied by bright sunshine. Yesterday’s meteorological data recorded a trace amount of rainfall, a maximum air temperature of 18.0°C, and a total of 4 hours and 8 minutes of sunshine.

Unfortunately, Currane anglers had no catches today. Reflecting on the past, we
recall times when Gillie’s operated without outboard motors, sharing memories
of fishing days on Lough Currane. The stage is yours Mark.
Thank you so
much for this Vincent, happy memories.
Seeing
Brod's name as a Co author brings back another memory for me.
Fishing with
my parents with Michael Moriarty in the 1950's , I thought I would take a boat
for myself. The Buttler Arms was packed and all boatmen taken. Billy Huggard
said he would see what he could do.
I was
introduced to Brod who had just "come back from the building in England
" but said he knew the lake and could find a boat.
Next morning
we met and set out from the bungalow shore. The boat had been pulled up for
some time and was dried out. Brod was bailing away and located the leak.
In those
days we fished in tweed jackets and ties. Brod looked up and asked if he could
borrow my tie . I handed it over and he stuffed it in the leak!
He handed it
back at the end of the day and said it would be fine. It wasn't of course. Brod
grew to be a fine ghillie and a marvellous raconteur. Happy memories.
Best wishes
Mark Maley

Salmon on the fly. As evidenced by the accompanying video, the veracity of this
impressive feat is undeniable. Additionally, it is worth noting that Dan had
another catch and release in recent days. Congratulations to Dan on his
