fished the skerne a fair bit last autumn in and around darlington town centre/ south park, caught plenty of dace and small chub upto 1 1/2 lbs on black klinks, nothing spectacular but fun enough on the dries.

anyone know if there are any pike in the skerne?

Walked the stretch between Harrwogate and Barmton village last weekend? Who owns it and is it fishable?

Sorry dont know who owns that bit the water around darlington right down to the tees is council/water authority owned,ive just fished from the town centre to the other side of south park had loadsa small dace n chub on klinks.

i know ferryhill used to have the brafferton stretch a few years ago but the farmer let it out to a syndicate .
don't know who has it now

I thought that this bit belonged to Darlington BT or Darlington Flyfishers?

Doesnt ferryhill have the bit next to the A1 anymore then?

What about the bit at Aycliffe village - are you allowed to fish it there?

ferryhill have the stretch between aycliffe village and the brafferton .

the stretch starts at the quarry road and continues for about a mile or so past the A1 road bridge .

there was a polution leak 2-3 years ago from the water board of all people.

trout to 4lb were killed , chub nearing 6lb and big barbel .

from what i've heard it is fishing again now .

had a look at the aycliffe village stretch in the summer , looks very fishy indeed .

heard there is some nice trout in there from people who sit and picnic by the river in the summer .
don't know who has it though , never saw any signs of angling clubs.
