Fishing
The Aln, Coquet, Tweed and Tyne river systems are amongst the best in country for salmon, sea trout, and trout fishing. The season for salmon/sea trout is from February through to November. The coast offers very good sea fishing off the beach/rocks or boats from Seahouses and Amble, mainly winter months for cod etc.
