Wind NNW light and overcast., max air temperature 15.7C/60.26F. 12/7/08 I was reading on WWW.Loughcurrane.com that there was some good action all around the Waterville Fishery I will begin with Lough Cloonaghlin and Lough Na Mona where Mr Neville Thomson caught five sea Trout to his rod of which the best was3lbs. On Lough Currane Mr John Baller of the UK and fishing out of WWW.Butlerarms.com caught a 5.5lbs Grilse on the troll with his gillie Mr Neil O'Shea of WWW.Oshealoughcurrane.com and in the Sea Trout department two guests fishing with their Gillie Mr Dominic Mc Gillicudy had a nice Basket of Sea trout ranging from 1 to 2lbs, plus there were a few more Sea Trout taken by other anglers, now to the famous Butler Pool and @ WWW.Watervillegolflinks.ie where Mr Peter Hughes and Mr Shay Lynham caught two Grilse and just for the record in the last two days they have caught five Sea Trout on Lough Copal and as always guided by their Gillie Mr Mike O'Dwyer.

Staying with the Sea trout, other anglers did see a bit of action but none of them did a John Andrew. Wind S light to calm and overcast with light rain all afternoon. I normally don't mention other Fisheries but this week I will brake that rule because Mr Bill Canning of Dublin caught a magnificent 28lbs Salmon on the river Bandon club waters and this fantastic fish is the biggest caught in Ireland since 1991and these facts and photo were given to me courtesy of the Central fisheries Board of Ireland and of WWW.cfb.ie Well that's all the news from your Gillie and the Waterville fishery.
