7/4/08 Things were quiet on the Lake and with a NNE wind blowing down the Lake, that didn't make for good fishing, especially in the fly department, well that is my excuse, mind you with the odd shower one would of thought that my Noble salmon would have been caught on the troll. Amount of rainfall in the last 24hours 0.3mm 8/4/08 The same today as yesterday except the wind was even lighter. Amount of rainfall 2.4mm. 9/4/08 today's facts were given to me by our Manger Mr John Murphy of the W.F.D.G. and of WWW.Loughcurrane.com It is nice to report some action and sportsmanship of the first degree, so all you noble Sea Trout Anglers, take note, first in the striking zone was Mr John Buckley of Killarney who caught a fine 6lbs Salmon on the fly, off Church Island but fish of the day and sportingly lives to see another day was a 7lbs Sea Trout caught and released by well known local Gillie Mr Bob Priestley of Waterville. Wind N then veered NW light to fresh, with the odd light shower. Water temperature In the Inner and outer Copal 10.9c/51f. Amount of rainfall 0.1mm. 10/4/08 There was a strong WNW blowing but that didn't deter my noble Angler's from going out and the ones that did got their just rewards, first to conquer my old gentlemen the Salmon of 9lbs was Mr rob Hutson of the UK, fishing with his Gillie Bob Priestley, next in the firing line was Mr Stephen Henderson of the UK who caught a 9lbs Salmon, fishing with his Gillie Mr Dominic Mc Gillicuddy and just for the record both fish were caught on the troll, plus they are all one party. Wind as already stated, heavy hale stones showers throughout the day and very cold, max air temperature 9.5C/49.1F.Amount of rainfall 7.1mm. 11/4/08 Mr Stephen Henderson of the UK was in good form again when he caught a 10lbs Salmon on the troll with his Gillie Mr Dominic Mc Gillicuddy, now for a bit of poaching I see on WWW.Loughcurrane.com that there was one Salmon caught on the Butler Pool by Mr Donagh McCarthy of Boston Mass USA and Waterville, and talking about the Butler pool if you like to play Golf on the famous Waterville Golf links and fish the famous Butler Pool go to WWW.Watervillegolflinks.ie Wind NW fresh to strong with heavy hale showers throughout the day with odd bit of sun breaking through. Max air temperature 9C/48.2F. Amount of rain fall 8.1mm. 12/4/08 all quiet on the SW front, even though there were a few boats out they all failed in their duties. Wind NW light to fresh with the odd April shower, amount of rainfall 3.3mm. Water temperature along the north shore 9.9C/49F, max air temperature 11.5C. 13/4/08 It was bright and sunny all day and with the wind in the NE, it didn't make for good fishing? But Mr Sean Smith of the UK soon put that theory to rest when he caught a fine 7.5lbs Salmon on the fly with his Gillie Mr Neil O'Shea of WWW.Oshealoughcurrane.com on the north side of Darby's island and contacted another and on that note I finish this weeks report on a high in fishing terms. that is all the news from your gillie and the Waterville Fishery. No Spin No Fly's just Facts.
