Lough Allen is the first of the Large lakes on the River Shannon. It is a great, wild lake, 10km long by 4km wide and lies between the Slieve Anierin Mountains to the east and the Arigina Mountains to the west. The water level on the lake is controlled by sluice gates at Ballintra and can flucuate by as much as 2.5 m . The Allen Centre is situated at the southern end. Lough Allen is a mixed fishery; it is noted for its pike fishing and holds many other species besides. What is less known is that there is a good stock of trout averaging 0.75 kg with the best known one to have been taken on rod and line weighing in at 7.2 kg in 2010. There is a small mayfly hatch, though it is maintained that the best trout fishing is in April, August and September. The area from Gobcormongan to the mouth of the Stoney river, on the east shore, is a noted area for trout and is often referred to as 'Murder Mile' by anglers trolling for Pike because of the number of trout that come to the baits. The River Shannon is the longest river in Ireland. It rises in the mountains of West Cavan and flow south for 160 miles to the tide at Limerick. The total catchment for the River and its tributaries is approximately 6,060 square miles. for the most part, this is a big sluggish river which connects the great three lakes Allen, Ree and Derg. Boats for hire with engines throughout the year.
