8/8/16

8/8/16 All quiet on SW front in all departments, which was surprising with a nice wind from the NW the only defense I can give to the pontificating Anglers is that it was bright all day, as my Noble anglers went searching for that allusive specimen Sea Trout or a fine Salmon, but sadly their lines were slack all day and it was the same story in the trolling department. Need I say more.

7/8/16

7/8/16 Lough Currane was on the wild side with a strong SW wind blowing across the lake, a few boats did venture out, but sadly their lines were slack, by the end of  day, they had failure written all over their faces, not very impressive in my opinion and the same can be said for their fishing skills, so the least said the soonest mended. Wind as all ready stated with reasonable cloud cover. I know what a few anglers would say when reading today’s notes and yes and we know where the wind is coming from.

6/8/16

6/8/16 Lough Currane was on the foggy side or was it  my Noble anglers couldn’t see through the silver cloud to manipulate his or her’s fly or lour, or was it purely lack of ability to catch my Noble Game Fish and as they say every cloud has a silver lining but sadly that wasn’t the case today. Wind SE then veered SW with very low cloud

5/8/16

5/8/16  There was 1 Sea Trout caught by a Swiss angler, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com and for the rest of the Lough Currane Anglers their professionalism has a lot to be desired in all departments. On the Inny front in the past couple of  days, local Anglers have procured a few Bars of Silver and one angler in question was Mr. Rod Robinson, who caught a fine Grilse which I might add He sportingly returned. Just for the record I didn’t hear of any rod benders on the Inny today, but you can say with reasonable doubt that some angler had his ball of Silver. Wind SW light to fresh with reasonable cloud cover and very warm.

Ball of Silver. 
4/8/16  We Start on the River Inny and Mince sauce was the flavour of the day, so straight to the action and in the anglers own words and I quote,  Vincent Great fishing reports. You thankfully sent me to river on my annual visit to Waterville. Great fishing and a lovely 8lbs. Salmon, a ball of silver for my efforts. Caught on stoats tail. regards Paul Stevens. In the Inny back date department , yesterday, Mr. Colin Lynam, caught two fine Salmon in the 5 lbs. class and both caught on the fly. Now we cut across the Valley to the Big Lake/ Lough Currane and for today’s action on the lake Mr. Colin Lynam while fly fishing with his Gillie, caught a fine 6 lbs. Grilse and finished their day off with a 1 ½ lbs Sea Trout and for the rest of the angling community, no comment. Wind NW fresh with reasonable cloud cover.

The Wild Atlantic Lamb 
3/8/16 Lough Currane was on the wild side, even though few boats ventured out but sadly failed, but in their defence the conditions weren’t great for my Noble Sea Trout and if there were a few rod benders they failed miserably to let their fingers do the talking at the end of the day. On the River Inny there were a good few Anglers manipulating, but again my iphone was as silent as the Lambs, at this rate it will be mutton before you know it. The photo you see is of an angler fishing off Lambs Head today and gives you a good idea how wild it was, picture courtesy of renowned angler Mr. Tom Murphy. Wind West and strong and overcast with heavy showers.

2/8/16

My Noble Anglers were like Gannets up on the Inny this morning
Photo taken by Mr. Lee Tiller  
2/8/16 The majority of anglers headed for the Waterville Fishery River systems this morning and going by one of my spies the Inny was like Piccadilly this morning with anglers heading upstream, but come evening my iphone was like the silence of the lambs but you can be dam sure some of my noble Anglers had their mint sauce and if they didn’t procure they ought to be ashamed of themselves. Now we head across the Valley to Lough Currane and all was silent in all departments which is not surprising with 31.8 mm of rainfall. Wind SW fresh and overcast with mist rain.
