Can anyone enlighten me as to what this clubs waters are like? I see they have some stretches on the wear and tyne but they seem to allow bait fishing everywhere. Wondered what the waters are like for fly and spinning for migratory fish...

its well worth the£45 to join.

they have a couple of stretches on the tyne and tees , around 10 miles on the wear and a mile or so on the skerne .

as you said they do allow bait fishing , worms all season and maggotts when the coarse season starts .

excellent for salmon and sea trout , check this months T&S

Thanks for the link.

Would like if possible the number of the membership secretary.

hi guys new to this site

Sid
I am looking for a new club to join and saw your post for ferryhill club i have fished the swale a lot at Morton .
I have heard the Salmon and sea trout fishing is good on the wear but don't hear a lot about the trout and grayling fishing on there i was wondering what it is like as you have been in the club for a while ?
If any one can help it would be appreciated
Paul

the wear is a mixed fishery so bait fishing is allowed , worms all season and maggots as soon as the coarse season starts .
ferryhill offers good value for £45 plus joining fee and there are some nice trout in the river , although grayling seem harder to catch (in decline i think although they are there).
as i only live 500 yards from the river i still join every year as its handy if i fancy a spur of the moment session .
i do most of my fishing on the eden now .
hope this helps .
