Again my noble Anglers failed miserably in catching and reporting their catches, be it fresh or spent. Wind WNW fresh with the showers.

Bob and his client 

Lough Currane was like a milk pond for most of the day, but this didn’t deter a few boats manipulating, but alas they all failed miserably in their duties in procuring my Noble Wild fresh Atlantic Salmon. The same couldn’t be said in the Kelt department, there were at least four caught and just for the record Mr. Michael O’Sullivan of Waterville boats and of watervilleboats@gmail.com reported to me there have been at least 30 Kelts caught since the opening day and this was concurred by Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com

No reports of any real rod benders. On the weather front, it made another flood early this morning. Just for the record to all you Anglers, even though you may not have caught my Noble Salmon, I would appreciate if you catch my noble Kelt pleases report them.

17/1/14 Opening day

17/1/14 Great to be back on the No Spin No Fly’s zone, on this opening day of the 2014 season and I will start by wishing you all a great 2014 in all departments. Now down today’s facts, there were 12 boats manipulating and all failed miserably in their duties in the fresh wild Atlantic Salmon department, but it was good to see a good few Kelts caught,12 in total. Now to quote of the day, a renowned shooter said in his opinion we anglers were a bunch of Chicken eggs, all I can say is some Chicken some neck and that’s my quote, or is it?

Waterville Hatchery full of my Noble Wild Salmon Eggs

Facts Courtesy of www.loughcurrane.com

This last month has seen the catch up of brood stock for the hatchery ready
for stripping for next year's stock! On the 11th of December a small team of

A seatrout digging a redd outside the hatchery

us caught 14 hen fish and 7 cocks. There were, this year, a larger number of

MSW salmon caught up, including some fine hen fish in the teens of pounds!
These fine fish are producing large amounts of eggs for the hatchery as they
fall ripe. Tom O'Shea and his father Donal managed to strip two of these hen
fish on the 22nd December and they yielded 7,500 eggs! These are already in
the trays - a good start!
