19/3/2024. Going by my WhatsApple the Currane anglers were all quiet on the Southwest front. Wind SW light and variable at times and overcast all day. Now to the comment of the day on yesterday’s notes, it comes from Mr. Walter Simpson and I quote, Not much difference fishing windy conditions or not as there’s no fish there anyway, no spin, no flys just BS as usual. So, on those words of wisdom we will head for yesterday’s weather, Amount of rainfall 11.1mm, amount of sunshine 0.0. maximum air temperature 12.6 c.
