30/9/20

                                       A fine Wild Atlantic Salmon Salmon!


Phil in action 
 





 


30/9/10 Covid 19 as we all know dictated proceedings this 2020 Salmon and Sea Trout season, especially denying long time and new Currane fly anglers coming from all over the World to this world famous Salmon and Seatrout Fishery, well I have great news in the Salmon department, Currane fly angler Mr. Phil Staniforth of the UK and Ireland while fly fishing with his Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com  caught a cracker of a Salmon of 14 lbs. on a 6lbs leader and what a battle Phil had with this monster of a Salmon, it took 2 hours to safely manipulate this fine Salmon into the shoreline so he could be put back, so congratulations to Phil, a day I’m sure you will never forget and the same goes to your Gillie Dominic. Weather wind Southwest and the photos tell it all on this last day of the 2020 Salmon Season.

29/9/20


                                Lough Currane today!

29/9/20 There were four boats out, two on the northside and two on the Southside and by all accounts their lines were slack, that’s  only speculation on my part, what isn’t speculation, Kerry is on a yellow rain warning, their forecasting 25 to 40mm of rainfall for the Southwest and as we know tomorrow is the last day of the 2020 Salmon Season, so all bets are on the Currane anglers converting back to the Inny catch and release fly anglers. All I can say is tight lines to all the Waterville Fishery Anglers. Wind South Southwest light to fresh and overcast, humidity 85%. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature 15.4 centigrade.

LOUGH CURRANE TODAY!                                    




 28/9/20 Going by the spy glasses just four boats out manipulating the Currane waters and going by the lack of texts its all quiet in all departments. As you can see by the photos it was hard going with little enough wind from the Northwest and bright sunshine all day, humidity 87%. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature 15.0 centigrade.

27/9/20

                               Calm day on Lough Currane!
 

27/9/20 There were at least 10 boats out manipulating this day, which was great to see, plus the majority were on the drift, by all accounts there was a nice mixture of Sea Trout and Brown Trout caught on the drift. In the Salmon drifting department one unlucky Currane fly Angler got into a fine Salmon but sadly My Noble Salmon was well educated saw that the anglers engine was down and headed straight for it and got an automatic  catch and release, the rest is history. Wind light and variable and overcast, humidity 93%. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature 13.9 centigrade.

24/9/20

Currane today!

24/9/20 The Currane anglers were stranded on the shoreline as the yellow wind warning took control as the Northwest gales hammered the lake and veered North with no respite, but not all was lost as the heavens opened last night and early this morning, which made good fishing for the River Inny. Today’s weather as already stated. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature 14.4 centigrade. 

River Inny today!
