Very good fishing over the last few weeks, with both salmon and seatrout being caught every day. Water still very low, wind coming from south east. Michael Shultz had a good fishing trip, catching six salmon, with the largest salmon weighing fifteen and a quarter pounds.
Weather conditions over the last two weeks have been very difficult with strong east wind and very heavy showers. The fishing has been very good over these two weeks, with a good number of salmon caught and one specimen sea-trout of nine pounds. The week, I was fishing with Michael Shultz and we landed three salmon, from six and a half to nine pounds.
The level of the lake is still low as we have had very little rain. Quite a few salmon have been caught in the last ten days. The best being a 13 pounder. Most fish are fresh run. First sea-trout of the season was caught by a french angler yesterday, a four and a half pounder.
The last two weeks have been quite dry with east – south east wind. The level of the lake have dropped. On Tuesday the largest salmon of the season so far was caught on the troll, a 13 pounder.
Weather conditions have improved, there are now seven salmon caught on the lake. There was two caught over the weekend. Hughie Reid had his first Salmon on Currane on Sat. a good fresh nine and a half pound salmon.
Still alot of rain here and not alot of fishing being done. Two more salmon caught here this week. The first salmon on the fly was caught by Mark Knowles on Tuesday. Both fish quite fresh.
Since the fishing season opened here we have had alot of rain so the lake level is very high.
Quite a few celts been caught up to now and today the second salmon of the season was caught, a fresh run 12 pounder on the troll.

Fishing opened on Currane on January 17th. It was a wet and windy day. Diarmuid Devereux was fishing with me.
It was his first time fishing on the opening day, and it only took him 20 minutes to hook the first salmon of the season for Currane.
He landed a 8lb springer on the troll, near Morgans rock. There was quite a few boats out but this was the only salmon of the day.
A good start to the season!
