Rivers Laune, Flesk and Killarney Lakes system

This is a large Salmonid habitat which drains a catchment of some 320 square miles. It gets excellent runs of Salmon and Grilse, its Sea-Trout fishing while good is primarily confined to the river laune. The lakes and rivers of this system have very good populations of reasonably sized Brown Trout that accept a fly eagerly. Large Ferox Brown Trout can be caught on Lough Leane by trolling large artificial baits. Access is good throughout and boats and guides are available.
