Autumn & Winter Fishing in the North East
NEW – 23rd October 2011
Time to get those thermals out – the temperature is plummeting and only the hardiest of anglers are now looking to wet a line! Already, the season for brown trout fishing on rivers has closed and that for salmon and sea trout will soon follow. And although you can still ‘officially’ fish for coarse species on both running water and still, you can effectively cross the …
Summer Fishing (Part Two): Coarse Angling in the North East & North Yorkshire
While Game, and to a lesser extent Sea Fishing, still rule the roost in this north easternmost corner of England, there is no doubt that Coarse Angling is deserving of the far higher profile it’s earned in recent years. And this isn’t just thanks to the huge interest that’s been gained through commercial enterprises like The Angel of the North Lakes, excellent though these fisheries are. Right across the region, angling …
Summer Fishing (Part One): Stillwater Trout Fishing

Fly Fishing on North East Rivers:
The season for trout fishing in the Northumbrian Region begins again on March 22nd, and not a moment too soon after all that sleet, frost and snow we endured during the long winter months! However, that longing to just get out there and start fly fishing in earnest has more often than not to …
Spring Fishing (Part One): Worm Fishing for Trout on Northumbrian Rivers
It’s that time of year again! The days are getting longer, the worst of the winter weather is (hopefully) behind us and – Hallelujah – the trout fishing season on Northumbrian rivers gets back underway on March 22nd. Unfortunately, due to our geography and climate, just when we think the snow and ice have receded for the last time, all too often back they come with a vengeance in the midst of force …
Allen Valley Angling & Conservation
The formation of any new angling club in the North East is a welcome event, but when the new club in question is the brainchild of one of the most respected fisheries biologists in the North of England, the prospect becomes even more tantalising.

A Tale of Summer Holiday Fishing, 1980-style
Originally Published as “A Devilishly Good Jumper” in WATERLOG Magazine, Issue 55, Spring 2006
The year 1980 was a time of great sporting achievements. Nottingham Forest won the European Cup, punching above their weight for the second year running. Coe and Ovett were inspirational to a 14 year-old like me with an interest in all sports, and a bloke called Yates broke Richard Walker’s 28 year-old Carp record. Even I had …
