 14/4/2023 We start with a backdate department or you can say if you wish I failed miserably in my reporting duties. First, we start in the specimen Sea Trout department local gillie Mr. Bob Priestley caught and released a fine Sea Trout in the 9 lbs class, now we head for the Salmon C&R department, a Currane fly angler fishing with his good friend caught and released a fine Salmon. Now back to the present, Currane Angler fishing out of the Villa and at  https://thevillawaterville.com/   caught a cracker of an 11 lbs. Salmon on the troll in the hired out boat department of Waterville boats and at watervilleboats@gmail.com  Now as we all know today was Mr. Brod O’Sullivan RIP Months Mind Mass and I can say without any fear of contradiction that it was a lovely tribute to Brod, his Brother Paddy wrote a fantastic poem in Brod’s Memory and read by his Grand Niece Laura.

Brod RIP

Stroll by the lake and think of me, I’m not that far away, Know I’m where I need to be,  I’m just gone fishing for the day,  While by the water’s edge you go, Take time a simple prayer to say, And in your heart, I’ll let you know,  I’m just gone fishing for the day, The last time you and I were here,  A rainbow graced our lake-bound way,  A sign that I am always near,  I’m just gone fishing for the day.

Noel's Wild Atlantic Salmon

 

Éanna 

13/4/2023 Great to see the Currane anglers back in action today after the wild Southwest storms and to report that their lures were in catching mode today, so straight to the action, first in the striking zone was Currane angler Mr. Noel Clancy of Waterville who caught a fine 10 lbs+ Salmon on the troll and Noel reported to me he had a good battle with his Salmon this morning and in his own words, nothing else after that. Now we head for the North Shore and Vincent’s harbour, Currane angler Tam fishing with his good friend and fellow Currane angler Mr. Éanna de Buis were in good form again today as you can see by the picture, they caught a fine 11lbs. Salmon on the troll and for the rest of the Currane anglers it was all quiet going by my WhatsApp. Wind NW and veered NNW light average wind speed was about 19Km /h and followed by good cloud cover. Yesterday’s rainfall was 13.2mm.
