21/5/17

21/5/17 Lough Currane was on the wild side today, with a strong SW wind this morning then veered SE in the afternoon fresh to strong and with good cloud cover. Four boats did venture out onto the wild waters of Lough Currane today, but to no avail, or put it in simple English they failed miserably in their duties in all departments, so on that note we head into yesterdays weather, amount of rainfall 2.5mm. Maximum air temperature 13.6c.

Phil 

20/5/17 We head straight for the Salmon department and to the South side of the Lake and for good reason, US Angler, Mr. Phil White caught a cracker of a 10 lbs. Salmon on the troll, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Frank Donnelly of www.lakelandshouse.com Now we head to the North side and the Bungalow, in the Sea Trout department, Local angler Mr. Jim Sayers, reported that this evening while drifting caught the first lightening fresh 1 lbs. Junior of 2017 and he also was telling me that there were a few nice Brown Trout caught by another angler also fishing out of the Bungalow. Wind NNW light to fresh with reasonable cloud cover at times and very cold this evening out there on the lake so Jim was saying. Yesterdays weather, amount of rainfall o. 8mm. Maximum air temperature 13.1c.

19/5/17

19/5/17 What can one say about the Lough Currane anglers this day, well its simple they all failed miserably in their duties in all departments and as one gillie said this evening, what do you expect from we fly anglers, miracles! I replied no Salmon actually! mind you, a wing and a prayer is no harm, so make sure your flie has a good wing and as you look to the heavens your prayers might be answered, but a word of warning be careful as you look up to the heavens you could miss a rise of a life time. Just for the record there were about 5 boats manipulating. Wind NW light to fresh with reasonable cloud cover plus a few showers, yesterdays weather, amount of rainfall 4.6mm, maximum air temperature 13.0c.

18/5/17

18/5/17 I start with the sad news that the Waterville fishery has lost another great angler, Mr. Malcolm Hutton RIP of The UK and Waterville, sadly past away today while doing what he loved, fishing with his rod in hand at the ready, well Malcolm you be gone but you will never be forgotten and on behalf of all the Waterville anglers and the good people of Kerry we send our deepest sympathies to all his Family and Friends. Now today’s fishing notes and there is only one angler that takes the headlines and that is UK fly angler extraordinaire Mr. Sean Smith, who manipulated his flies with pure professionalism and why do I say this because he caught a fine 8 ½ lbs. Salmon, while fishing with is Gillie Mr Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com and Neil’s quote of the day was nothing like eating humble pie, all I can say it’s a pleasure to eat it! Wind NW light to fresh and variable at times, with reasonable cloud cover at times. Yesterdays weather, amount of rainfall 1.7mm, Maximum air temperature 14.6c.              

17/5/17

17/5/17 Lough Currane was all quiet on the SW front, which I find surprising after the flood, admittedly the land took most of it but at least the lake went up a few inches  and still my Noble Anglers can’t seem to take advantage of this small flood and one can only come to the conclusion the professionals are losing their art of flie and lure selection? And just for the record I would be delighted to eat humble pie! On that sarcastic note we head for the weather, Wind WNW light to fresh with reasonable cloud cover at times. Yesterdays weather, amount of rainfall 4.1mm.Maximum air temperature 14.4c.        

16/5/17

16/5/17 There were a few boats manipulating their flies and lures but sadly they couldn’t stimulate their flies or lures enough to attract a Wild Atlantic Salmon, the same couldn’t be said in the Sea Trout department, Mr. Michael Shultz of Berlin Germany caught and released a fine 3 lbs. Sea Trout on the troll while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com Wind W fresh with reasonable cloud cover at times. Yesterdays weather, amount of rain fall 27.4 mm. Maximum air temperature,14c.

This Robin had plenty of wind!

15/5/17 Lough Currane was at a stand still and for good reason there was a strong SSW blowing down the Lake as anglers looked in dismay and headed for the Bars empty handed as the Landlords smiled as the beer flowed and the euros changed hands. Wind as already stated and staying with the weather there was heavy rain for a while last night and this morning but for the majority of the day it was light misty rain. Yesterdays weather, amount of rainfall 9.4mm. Maximum air temperature 13.8c.
