30/3/18 The Lough Currane Wild Atlantic Salmon were celebrating this Good Friday because for the first time in 90 years one could celebrate with a pint legally after ones days fishing so on this historical day we start at Waterville boats and at watervilleboats@gmail.com Local Gillie Mr. Eric Jouen, caught a fine 10 lbs. Salmon on the troll this morning and by all accounts had a good battle and in the words of Mr. Eric Jouen I gave him the Butt and now I can go home to my Family and celebrate Easter in Style and there’s no argument to that. Staying in the trolling department, Local Gillie Mr. Sion Brain also caught a fine 8lbs. Salmon, while trolling. Wind ENE light with reasonable cloud cover with showers.
