Sporadic Catches
Recent catches on the river's have been slow of late due to the low river levels with members having to work long and hard for any success. Best fish that I have heard of is a 12lb salmon from our Tyne beats and safely returned to the water. Heavy rain over the last two days has brought some much needed water into the rivers and should be ideal from tomorrow onwards for the coming week.
The fish counter for the Tyne at Riding Mill is still out of operation so it's anyone's guess how many fish are on the system. The Wear count for July was 1121 so we are looking for better numbers in the coming months.
Latest weather forecast just been on, looks like a washout on Tuesday, as they say, it never rains but it pours.
