River Laune
The River Laune (pronounced to rhyme with "down", Irish: An Leamhain) is a river in County Kerry, Ireland which flows from Lough Leane (sometimes written as Lough Lein), one of the Lakes of Killarney, through the town of Killorglin, and empties into the sea, first at Castlemaine harbour beside the river Maine and then out through Dingle Bay. The Laune is well known for salmon and trout fishing.[1]
The river Laune is 14 miles (23 km)[2] long and combined with the River Flesk 28.25 miles (45.46 km),[3] which feeds Lough Leane, has a total length of 42.25 miles (67.99 km). It has a mean flow rate of 43 m³/s.[4]
