Capall Lough — Isknaghany — lies just east of Waterville in south Kerry, connected to the great Lough Currane below it by the short Capall River. It is part of the famous Waterville system, lying a little apart from the Cummeragh chain of upper loughs, in the same wild Old Red Sandstone country beneath the Iveragh hills. The water is clear and soft off a catchment of sandstone rock and blanket bog. Like its neighbours it is sea-trout water above all — the quarry that made Waterville's name — taking fish up off Currane on the floods, with salmon among them on the high water and wild brown trout through the season. The character is a small, exposed upland lough — rocky shoals, sandstone reefs and peat-stained bays open to the Atlantic wind. This is boat-and-drift fishing read by the wave and the shoreline lies; the short Capall River wades steadily on firm rock.

Wading: Exposed upland lough, boat water

No venue-specific hatch data yet; as an oligotrophic upland lough in this Cork/Kerry sandstone-freestone system, expect the typical acid-water stillwater character of sparse buzzer and sedge activity with occasional terrestrial fall and freshwater shrimp along the margins — treat this as a general expectation, not an observed hatch.
