1/6/09 well they say the early bird catches the worm, well it's the early Angler who catches a fine Sea Trout of 5.5lbs on the fly, off the Bank of the Church at 6am in a hired out boat from www.lakelandshouse.com so all I can say is don't be complaining because its to bright and to hot to catch my Noble game fish, simple remedy get up early or fish in the evening and give the pub a miss, and talking of the weather, today was a blazing hot day of 23.5c and 15.3 hours of blazing hot sunshine. 2/6/09 weather wise the same as yesterday except on the evening shift I Vincent Appleby of www.salmonandseatrout.com caught a Grilse on the troll and took a photo of my catch which sadly I can't show because I forgot to put the tag on the fish, so the least said the soonest mended. Wind SW light to calm and then veered N late this evening but it was so light it wouldn't have blown out a candle. Max air temperature 26.1c and there was 15.5 hours of bright sunshine. 3/6/09 again another blazing hot day with little to no wind and what wind was between NW then veered NNE light to calm. Max air temperature 22.1c with 9.7hours of blazing hot sunshine. 4/6/09 Again Lough Currane produced a fine 7.5lbs specimen Sea Trout caught on the troll around the Tub Island early this morning by Dr Reinhard Biniek of Germany, and I was reading on www.loughcurrane.com about some fine catches and they are as follows, Mr Collin Fraser with four Sea Trout his best was 4lbs, Mr Brendan O'Halloran caught a 2,5lbs Sea trout, Mr Ted O'Callaghan caught six Sea trout up to 3lbs. Wind WSW light all day with bright sunshine. Max air temperature 19.8c with 11.5 hours of sun. 5/6/09 Conditions first thing were quite good but come 2pm there was bright sunshine for the rest of the afternoon and to make things worse, the wind went NE, max air temperature 18.1c. Amount of sunshine 11.2hours. 6/6/09 my noble angler wasn't very enthusiastic to pontificate and cast a fly, due to the strong NE wind blowing down the lake, mind you try and tell that to Mr Jim Sayers who caught a fine 3lbs on the drift along the north shore. Wind NE and overcast with the odd heavy shower, amount of rainfall 1.7mm, max air temperature 14.0c. 7/6/09 Mr Terence Wharton Jnr caught 2 Sea trout in the 2 to 3lbs class first thing this morning, now I will head for the poaching department, I was reading on the www.loughcurrane.com our manger Mr John Murphy Esq. is reporting in the last few days that a few Grilse have been caught on the Commeragh river and Lough Currane which is great news. Wind N and veered at times NNE with the heavy showers ,amount of rainfall 4.9mm, max air temperature 13.6c. Well, that is your ration for this week, from your Gillie and the Waterville fishery.
