Lough Currane was on the slack side, the only boat that reported any action on the fly, was Mr. Vincent O’Sullivan, fishing with his client, who caught a fine Seatrout in the 3 lbs class and lost a cracker of a fish after about 20 minutes, and in the words of Mr. Vincent O’Sullivan and I quote, that’s fishing. Wind S light to fresh with reasonable cloud cover.

All quiet on the Salmon front but the same couldn't be said on the specimen Sea trout front where Mr. Sean Smith from the UK caught a fine 6lbs 2oz Seatrout on the fly with his Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea.Wind NW light with reasonable cloud cover, and staying with the Sea trout, last year’s record Seatrout of 12 lbs 5oz caught by Mr. Heinz Strappmen with his Gillie Mr. Frank Donnelly, has just been setup and as you see by the picture its first class, what you think of the setup.

Very little action in the Seatrout department and with a cold NE wind blowing that is not surprising, but the same couldn't be said in the Salmon department where a Father and Son combination from northern Ireland in a hired out boat, caught a Grilse on the troll, which they sportingly put back, then they put their rods out again and caught a fine 8lbs Salmon and finished the day off with 2 Seatrout in the 2lbs class and I can tell you that Mr. James a Philip Burns were two very happy anglers. Wind ENE light this morning, and fresh to strong this afternoon with bright sunshine all day
