Aug 10 Casting With Ceri Jones : Ep. 190 Lough Currane

Ceri Jones

This week's episode I am in County Kerry on the first week of my road trip around Ireland. I met up with Currane boatman Neil O'Shea where we had a day afloat on this majestic water. We were in search of Sea Trout and Salmon, unfortunately fishing was tough and only caught a few trout. Fishing with Neil was a great experience as we fished salmon holding marks and fished a method seldom fished today. Holding on marks while fishing the current similar to that of a river. I talk also of the surrounding history of Kerry.

It's true to say that Currane is not the lake it used to be, but great fishing can still be had. It is no secret that the offshore salmon farms has affected the fishing at Currane. Please help get this water get back to it's halcyon days and stop buying toxic farmed salmon.

Ceri Jones

This week I had the pleasure of chatting with Neil O’Shea, from Waterville, County Kerry. He comes from a background and family of guides and boatmen going back generations. His surname is synonymous with sea trout and salmon of South West Ireland, notably Lough Currane. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience invaluable to anyone wanting to fish this gem of a lough.
