14/5/17 Lough Currane was all quiet this day in the Salmon department after yesterdays fine action, so on that note we head for the fly and Brown Trout department. UK angler Mr. Nigel Henshaw, fishing out of Waterville Boats and of  watervilleboats@gmail.com caught 2 nice Brown Trout both in the 1 lbs. class, while fishing with his gillie. Wind SW fresh to strong with good cloud cover with showers and talking of rain http://www.met.ie have put Kerry on an Orange alert, forecasting 50 to 70 mm of rainfall.

Nigel and Peter

You can't  beat the A Team

There is no argument to that, a 14 1/2 lbs Salmon and a 9 lbs Salmon.

13/5/17  There was some great action on Lough Currane this Morning and all the action came from the Hampshire Professionals, first in the striking zone was UK Angler Mr. Peter Ruffle, fishing out of watervilleboats@gmail.com caught a fine 9 lbs. Salmon on the troll while fishing wit his Gillie, staying with watervilleboats@gmail.com and the Hampshire professionals, fish of the day goes to UK Angler Mr. Nigel Henshaw and for good reason, he caught a cracker of a 14 ½ lbs. Salmon on the Troll, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Bob Priestley and considering there were just a few Boats out that was good fishing. Wind SW light to fresh with good cloud, plus a few showers. Yesterdays weather, maximum air temperature 14.2c,

12/5/17 Lough Currane may be on the low side and when I say low I mean low, but it was nice to see the professionals in action in the Salmon department and in the fly C&R Brown Trout department today. We start in the Salmon department, UK angler Mr. Keith Nicklin, caught a fine 8 ½ lbs. Salmon on the troll, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com Now we head for the Brown Trout fly and C&R department and all fly headlines go to local C&R fly angler Tom Murphy, who caught 5 fine Brown Trout and all safely returned to the Currane Waters. On a personal note that’s what I love about Lough Currane low water or not you always have a chance in all departments, and where the other 6 boats were concerned this day it was all quiet on the SW front and they call themselves professionals, I think its back to the drawing board for them! Wind NW light to fresh with good cloud cover. Yesterdays weather, Maximum air temperature 16. 7c.

This Morning 

Eric and Ursula

11/5/17 There was 5 boats manipulating the waters of Lough Currane today, but sadly their enthusiasm soon dwindled, as the day went on and as the bells struck 5 they headed for port and there was only one thing on their minds, a good pint of porter and then their yearns began! I will leave the rest to your imagination.  As you can see by the pictures it tells the story what the anglers were up against. Wind light and variable, you make your choice. Now to the apology department, yesterday I was sent two nice pictures of Local Gillie Mr. Eric Jouen of  watervilleboats@gmail.com and his good Wife Ursula and not forgetting their hound  and yes I failed miserably in my duties! Yesterdays weather, maximum air temperature 15.3c.

10/5/17  I start with the Sad news that Lough Currane and the Waterville Fishery, has lost another great fly angler, Mr. Gerry Bambury RIP of Kenmare and Spunkane Waterville, sadly past away today and Gerry will certainly be missed by his fellow anglers and for good reason, Gerry was a renowned fly angler all over Ireland and with all the fly competitions he entered all throughout the Island of Ireland, that’s not surprising, so on behalf of all the good people of Waterville, Kenmare, Killarney and all Irish Fisheries we send our deepest sympathy to all his Family and Friends. Now to today’s fishing facts well it’s only right that nothing was reported on this sad day.  

I hate to do this to you, but another glorious day on the Strand and yes my Noble angler were left stranded!

9/5/17 Again this morning it was blazing saddles with bright sunshine and a light variable wind, come afternoon the sky’s clouded up, still the wind was light and variable and with a good few boats out 8 to be precise, still the participating anglers couldn’t manipulate or stimulate a Wild Atlantic Salmon or a Lough Currane premier Sea Trout, but in their defence a cracker of a photo taken by professional photographer and local angler Mr. Ken Towner, gives my Noble Anglers a fine excuse for the lack of action this day On Lough Currane. Yesterdays weather, maximum air temperature 20.0c

Ballinskelligs Bay

8/5/17 It was blazing saddles day and one can say without any fear of contradiction it was no wilder day, with a light wind from the NW and the sun blazing down on Lough Currane and as you can see from the poached picture, courtesy of http://thecrescentwaterville.ie/  it tells the story. At least my Noble Anglers have genuine  excuse for their failures. Just for the record there were four boats out manipulating their suntan! Yesterdays weather, maximum air temperature 16.1c.
