FLY FISHING - Catching off the bank at Sweethope lough.

Using naturals was the way to tempt the trout in this beautiful location in Northumberland.

Cheers Graham, it's definitely worth going back , both Loughs are fishing well 👍

Excellent video/session Alec. Some fit healthy strong fighting fish. Not sure what the clothesline method actually means or the other one Peter mentioned,but no doubt you'll have explained them in other videos. Cheers, Arthur.

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

Cheers Arthur , the washing line method is when you have a floating fly on the point of your leader , such as a daddy and nymph on the dropper , the point fly keeps up in the water and the nymph slowly sinks , the leader curve looks like a washing line 😀 Very effective method 👌

Really enjoyed that Alec, well done. I use a bank stick to hold my landing net these days, age doesn't come kindly.

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

Thanks Paul, yes as we get older the body parts don't work as well as they used to do 🤣🎣🐟

Waters holding our native fish, the brown trout, shouldn't be stocked with rainbows. We should be protecting and preserving our wild fish.

[@alecharveyfishingandflytying]

The browns and rainbows have been together in sweethope for many years now, and both types are in great condition. 🎣🐟
