Lough Scannive Wallchart

Lough Scannive A1 size

Near Carna in South Connemara. The lake has 3 ancient fortified dwellings, or Crannogs, one of which is probably the best preserved in Ireland.

This seldom visited lake was a favourite of Victorian Sea Trout fishermen. It has extensive shallows and is inhabited by beautiful golden brown trout up to about 1lb in weight. Summer evenings fishing a dry fly are magical.

Some large trout have been hooked in the deeps (100ft), but none have yet been landed (allegedly). This is one of the most beautiful and peaceful lakes to take a boat out onto.

GPS charts are also available, contact the website if you need one. These are available in several formats.
