Coming to the net
The rains are now starting to bring more fish into our rivers and members are having some long needed time on the rivers. Fresh run salmon are being caught along with sea trout that are still bearing sea lice. The Tyne, Wear and Till beats are producing fish but we wait to hear about the Coquet. It is believed and hoped that the Covid 19 will bring some good news. With the shops being closed for such a long period those netsmen fishing for sea trout have not really had a market to sell to and with lockdown being in place neither the opportunity to actually go fishing like the rest of us. With the decline in sea trout numbers entering the rivers over the past few years then maybe, just maybe, more will enter the rivers to spawn for the future.
Trout fishing is going well on our Stillwater fisheries with excellent numbers being caught with plenty limit bags daily and pleasing to see a lot of the fish being returned unharmed to the waters.
A Warm Welcome
Over the last couple of weeks we have enrolled some new members to the club and the committee will be pretty sure they will receive a warm and friendly introduction to the club from our current membership. It is hoped they have a successful time on club waters.
