THE TREELINE

Originally named because of the snaggy tree line that ran all the way down the left-hand margin. In recent times we have removed the snags to improve the fishing.

Hot Areas

Anywhere along the tree line margin and down the gradually sloping shelf.
23 RL towards The Stink.
14 RL Towards Alamo

Description

Designed to be a short to medium range swim only. The longest cast you need to make is 25 RL, and nearly always the fish will be well inside this mark. A comfortable swim for those who don’t want to fish at long range, as it is off the back of the wind a lot of the time. Has the credentials to produce fish all year round, but rarely does the theory get practiced. If fishing along the tree line, a great tactic to use is pushing a baiting poll out, casting over it and placing your rig tight under the branches. There are a few pathways along the track leading right down to the waters edge, perfect for baiting up too. Great for watching the fish at close quarters, and we regularly see huge fish cruising the margins. The big scaley 'Fred' is a Treeline regular and is often seen lurking in the tree line. There’s not many scaley near sixty pounders in Europe, so if you want to target one, this could be the swim for you.
