i'm looking at goin fishing tomoro, i'm fairly new to fly fishing and a little stuck for time (havin to work !!!), that leaves me about 4 hrs daytime fishing, i'm torn between fishing the free stretch of the wear at durham which i have never done before or going to knitsley mill lakes which i have fished a few times. does anyone know how knitsley is fishing ? how the wear at durham is fishing ? any help or advice would be excellent thanks

decided to go to knitsley and guess what ? the water was tea coloured (with milk and sugar !) had one take off the top and got snapped on 5lb trace other than that the only other thing caught was a frog !!! i think maybe next time i'll wait till we've had some decent weather

Hi Leeren you don't say where you are from Noel

from chester le street, got a few venues locally so i'm spoilt for choice really.

Hi Leeren,

I recently visited Waskerley Reservoir a couple of times (see entries 'Waskerley Lake' on 'Trout and Grayling' section) It's well worth a visit

thanks for that, i've passed it by probably hundreds of times but never even knew it was there, maybe if i can wangle a day off work i might wander up there.
many thanks again
