Eureka Lodge Lough Currane / Waterville lake salmon & sea trout fishing ghillies & guides provided plus fly fishing lessons a speciality and evening fishing on request.

               Introducing Eureka Lodge and your ghillie Vincent Appleby Salmon & Sea trout fishing on Waterville lake, the salmon fishing in Lough Currane is extremely good in March and April, then from June we have the finest sea trout fishing in Ireland, for your further information our method of fishing for salmon is as follows.
               The boat is held by the boatman on the oars so that the boat is not permitted to drift across the holding areas, where large numbers of salmon shoal up and congregate, therefore providing a floating platform, with the wind behind the fly-fisher, therefore giving the angler maximum assistance in casting the fly.
               Of course large numbers of salmon are caught each season by trolling baits and lures behind the boat in all areas of the lake, I provide all fishing facilities i.e., rods, boats with engines.
               Salmon flies 4-8 are advised to be fished on a floating line and account for many fish throughout the year.
              Sea Trout run from March onwards but large numbers are caught from May onwards and are widely distributed over the whole lake and caught during the day.
              Wet flies on sunken or floating lines are recommended and the best flies are mallard & claret, raymonde, black pennell, watsons fancy, bibio, bog fly, straw grouse, golden olive, peter ross, conermara black, butcher, Alexandra, invicta, Waterville blue.
              Boatmen can be hired by the day or week and are all experienced, in addition to being able to introduce anglers to the best lies, they all help create an interesting day’s fishing.

The boat and the ghillie can be hired for as little as 120 euros per day.
