 28/2/2022 Just 3 boats out this day and for all their efforts just a few Kelts caught. As we all know the second brown tag draw took place today and as far as I know some of the local pro’s missed out again. Wind WNW and veered NNW light with little cloud.

27/2/2022 All quiet on all fronts except for the wind and for good reason, come lunchtime there was a strong SSW fresh to strong, average speed 30 mph, gusts average speed 40 mph.

26/2/2022 The Brownless, Barbless anglers were left Salmonless this day and for a very good reason, Lough Currane was wild with a strong Southerly wind blowing across the lake. On that note we head the Currane anglers view and it’s all yours Martin, a UK Currane angler.

Hello Vincent I see the second brown tag is coming up , I was told today that you have to apply again for the February draw , it’s a complete and utter shambles that you have to keep sending your license number into to IfI surely once should be enough, in my eyes they are making fools out of the local anglers and visiting anglers to Waterville , and from reading your reports not many of the January drawn tags have yet to wet a line on  Waterville lake disgraceful carrying on. I think IfI will have to sit down and have a think how to they can treat anglers a little bit better than they have the last 2 years in Waterville. Martin

24/2/2022 There were two Brown tag boats out this day and spygate reports that for all their efforts there were no takers. Wind WNW fresh to strong and followed by wintery showers and as you can imagine it was very cold out there. On that cold note we will go to the criticism department on my writing especially on my heading of the No Spin No Fly’s just facts, because fly’s is spelt incorrectly, well there is a good reason for this and as say a photo always tells the story, the fly’s tell you everything when you study the photo

 23/2/2022 The Lough Currane anglers were nowhere to be seen this day and for good reason, there was a strong WSW wind blowing down the lake, come evening it veered WNW fresh to strong with heavy downpours throughout the day.

22/2/2022 Currane spygate reports that there was just one Brown tag boat out today. Wind WNW light to fresh followed by a few showers. Now we head for the Currane Anglers View so it’s all yours James

 Hi Vincent, great to see another fine salmon caught and released in Waterville and on the fly as well, well done to the flyman and the shy man for keeping the home fires burning, well done die hards it’s a pity a lot of your fellow anglers haven’t wet a line yet, hopefully more locals will get brown tags in the next draw. It’s an awful shame that these locals that have grown up next to Waterville lake have to enter a draw in the hope they can go out and enjoy a normal day’s fishing, I always thought that Waterville was a free lake, surely these rules and regulations contradict this.? It’s a crying shame what’s happening over there? Your friend James.
