Hi There,

I was thinking of a trip to Sweethope to fish the big Lough from a boat on Thursday.

Anyone been fishing there lately and if so any information would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards

robbie

By all accounts its fishing very well at the moment Robbie. Theres a few good reports on gameangler.

C'mon Robbie you are supposed to be the expert! You should be telling us mere mortals

Hi There,

Pete thanks for that link.

I used to be a regular at Sweethope but have only fished it a couple of times in the last four or five years so that was exactly what I was looking for.

Helpful information is what this forum thrives on.

Best Regards

robbie

Hi There,

A great day at Sweethope yesterday.

On leaving Berwick I was cursing at the brilliant sunshine but it clouded over just as I arrived at the fishery. :-)

After tackling up with dries I motored the boat to the west end of the lough.

I was slightly concerned at the lack of any rising fish and the first one I saw took my heather fly.

Things were slow until about ten o'clock but then it just picked up and a fall of heather flies and daddies together with an afternoon hatch of midge got the fish rising in good style particularly around the weed patch to the south of the island.

I never changed from the dries all day and caught fish out in the open as well.

As a rough rule there were more rainbows in the open water and more browns in the margins.

It really was a great day with almost perfect fishing conditions. Around 98% cloud cover a steady light breeze and rising fish.

Given half a chance I will be back next week!


Best Regards

robbie
