Havent tried fly fishing for carp yet as the area I live in has very little in the way of coarse fishing.
Most of my salmon and sea trout fising is done on the River Tyne and Coquet and my brown trout fishing on the River Wansbeck. I am only 1 hour drive from the River Tweed with some quality salmon fishing available
I was in Ireland a month ago salmon/sea trout fishing on the Dowross river at Kylemore Abbey but the conditions weren't good, low water, brilliant sunshine and temperatures of 23 degrees plus. If anyone is going to Ireland, fish this stretch of the river as it is stunning. I have some photos that I will post of it. I was going to try some fly fishing for mackerel while I was over there but we were a bit early and the mackerel werent in.
