Sweethope Lough has 2 lakes on the complex with it predominantly attracting fly fisherman for trout. Pike fishing is allowed from November until March, boats are also available. The complex is located between the villages of Knowesgate, Kirkwhelpington and Redesdale in the Northumberland hills.

Sweethope is justifiably famous for its stock of large, hard fighting rainbow trout of up to 15lbs + offering every angler, from novice to expert, a chance to hook into a true fish of a lifetime at every visit. We also stock blue trout and after assessing the current stock of natural brownies, we are intending of adding to the Brown Trout population by July 2013.

Sweethope Lough is the headwater of the Wansbeck river, which cuts its scenic way to the North Sea through some of Northumberland’s prettiest scenery.
