Fishing reports
Monday 17th June
Two major floods in the last few days - Friday & yesterday - with the lake after rising a few feet and still rising. With the floods there have been reports of salmon being caught on both the Cummeragh and the Inny. These include a fine fish of 12lbs caught on the fly by by Giles Sturgers, fishing with Dominic McGillycuddy on the inny. The floods should see fish arriving to the upper lakes which should begin to fish once things settle down!
Thursday 13th June
There's been quite a bit of rain in the past few days with the lake level up about a foot. The floods brought ot a few anglers to the Cummeragh with Mike Teahan succesful with a nice 8lb salmon.

James Henchey was succesful on the Butlers pool with a nice fresh salmon straight from the sea.

However the weather is to change to more overcast conditions for this week - with some rain - which will imprve fishing conditions.
Sunday 2nd June
Another difficult week on Lough Currane. The cold north wind continued all week
making fishing slow. Neil O'Shea reported seeing numbers of good sized seatrout
jumping at the east end of the lake but takes were slow in coming, but his guest

Tony Church caught a fine Sea Trout, drifting off the Church Island and a Guest,
fishing with Gillie Bob Priestley caught another Sea Trout in the 4 lbs. class.
The wind has now turned into the southwest with warmer, southerly winds promised
for most of the coming week. With the warmer cobnditions and the head of seatrout
in the 2 - 6 lb class now building up, the fishing on lough currane will improve dramatically.
