2/6/08 I start with three back dates, on the 25/5/08 Mr Peter Maxey of the UK caught a fine 6.5 Specimen Sea Trout on the fly with his Gillie Sylvester Donnelly, next in the firing line was Mr Martin Evans of the UK who caught a fine 9.5lbs specimen Sea tout on the fly on the 30/5/08 and last but not least Mr Alcester Dunbar of Scotland caught a nice mix basket of Brown Trout and Sea Trout in the two to three lbs class and just for the record both Martin and Alcester were fishing in hired out boats from Mr Michael O'Sullivan of O'Sullivan Boats and @ lobsterb@iol.ie now back to the present very little action in all departments. Wind SW light to fresh then veered NW around 5.30pm after a very heavy shower, max air temperature 18.6C/65.48F. 3/6/08 again all quiet on the SW front even though I am sure there would have been the odd Sea trout caught. Wind WSW light to fresh with reasonable cloud cover, amount of rainfall 1.1mm, max air temperature 16.0C/60.8F 4/6/08 It made a nice flood this morning with 21.2mm of rain fall. The majority of anglers had slack lines but it was a different kettle of Fish for Mr Marcel Gilliou of the UK who caught a fine 10.5lbs Salmon on the fly at the point of the Grassy Island and finished the day off with a fine 3.5lbs Sea Trout also caught on the fly and just for the record Marcel was with his Gillie Mr Vincent O'Sullivan of WWW.Vincentsfishing.com also in good form this evening in the Salmon and Sea trout striking zone was Mr David Wallace and Mr Tim Loxton of the UK who shared a nice mixed basket of four Sea trout and one Grilse all in the 2 to 3lbs Class, with their Gillie Mr Kevin Brain of WWW.kbfishingireland.com Wind NW fresh with bright sunshine throughout the day, max air temperature 15C.59F.5/6/08 Lough Currane was a bit on the tame side in the Salmon department and on the Sea trout front Mr Marcel Gilliou caught three Sea trout with his gillie Mr Vincent O'Sullivan and of Vincentsfishing.com. Wind NW fresh with reasonable cloud cover, amount of rainfall 0.1mm, max air temperature 14.9C/58.82F. 6/6/08 the Early shift produced a nice Grilse caught on the fly by Mr Tim Loxton of the UK fishing with his Gillie Mr Kevin Brain of WWW.kbfishingireland.com onto the day shift no comment. Wind first thing this morning was NE then veered NW and went SW after lunch light to fresh, with bright sunshine throughout the day. Max air temperature 16.7C/62.06F, amount of rainfall 0.7mm. 7/6/08 Mr Henry fishing out of the Butler Arms Hotel and of WWW.Butlerarms.com caught a fine Salmon on the troll with his Gillie Mr Bob Priestly and on the sea Trout front, there were a few caught but nothing worth photographing for the photo gallery in the Famous Lobster Bar. Now to the Butler Pool where Mr Mike O'Dwyer and his guest caught a Grilse. Wind S light to calm and overcast with light rain all afternoon., amount of rain fall 3.5mm, max air temperature 16.7C/62.06F. 8/6/08 A fly mans nightmare because of the flat calm conditions and my noble troller didn't fair much better.
