I start with a backdate and a apology to Mr. Mike Teahan of Waterville. Who caught a fine 5 lbs Salmon on the River Inny on the 13/9/13 on the Garden worm and I can tell you, Mike gave me a verbal diplomatic thrashing for my bad reporting, all I can say is I stand corrected. Staying with Mr. Mike Teahan, known as the Matador of the Bull Ring Tralee, caught another 5 lbs Salmon today on the River Inny on the garden worm. Now we cut across the Valley to a Rough Lough Currane, a few boats did venture out and the only boat to report their catches was Mr. Michael Smith and his son Sean, they caught 3 Sea Trout, and Michael was telling me that his son Sean got into a Salmon but alas my Noble Salmon won the day, as always they were fishing with their Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com Wind NW strong and overcast with heavy showers.

 My Noble Sea trout Anglers had little to talk about this morning, because Lough Currane was like a milk pond, but come 1.30 pm there was a gentle breeze from the NW and it wasn't long before there was some action, so lets get to the rod benders, the King of the Lough Currane C&R Sea trout fly department, Mr. Sean Smith of the UK fishing with his Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com was in cracking form with two cracking fish, the first Sea Trout weighed in at 5 lbs and the action didn't stop there, it wasn't long before Sean was into another cracker of a Sea Trout in the 8 lbs class and as always Sean conquered my Noble Sea Trout but alas only with the fly rod, not the priest. Staying with the North side and the Bungalow, Mr, Rod Robinson of Waterville. caught a few Sea Trout on the drift and yesterday 12/9/13 Mr. Anthony O’Sullivan caught 4 Sea Trout on the drift.
