Lough Currane

Lough Currane is a lough of County Kerry, Ireland. Waterville lies on its western bank, close to the Atlantic Ocean and Raheen lies on its southern bank. The lake had the St. Finan Cam (lived 600s) monastery on Church Island.[1] To the south of the lake is Inis Uasal (Noble Island), an island dedicated to St. Finan. The Annals of Ishfallen mention that Amchad, the "anchorite of God" was buried on the island in 1058.[2] The lough is famous for its salmon and trout fly fishing. It covers an area of 2,500 acres (10 km2) and is 3 ½ miles long and 2 miles (3.2 km) at the widest point.
