Carp would be different. As for cats I thought they were only to stocked in stillwaters with no possibility of access to rivers. I read a post on north east fishing were someone has claimed to have put cats in the Wear at Durham. Personally don't want to see either cats or zander in the Tees, the lower stretches seem to be coming on in leaps and bounds since the barrier was built. These two species would have a serious detrimental effect on the balance of fish stocks and with pike already...

Yeah I know mate. Still the B section offers an awful lot of water for a reasonable fee. Listening to you guys on here makes me wonder what the chances are of catching a barbel on the Thornaby waters at Croft. Got a couple of spots in mind but unfortunately don't have the time to walk the rivers like you guys. Still just over two weeks to kick off.

Which stretch on the Tees does Stockton club have and do they have a website? I know the ATDAC stretches even though I've mislaid my maps again.
Just had a look at the Stockton website. I remember the stretch at Winston from my childhood as my auntie used to have a caravan there. Was a lovely stretch of river but more suited to fluff chucking. The worst thing I can remember was it was wick with wasps and I hate those stripes winged psycho's.

yeah plenty of salmon come up later in the year, but I haven't seen a spring salmon on the tees for a very long time, there are two runs of salmon each year on some rivers, one is the spring run, the other comes in mid autum time, the tees as with many other north east rivers have very few, if any springers as they are called. Good luck with the double but at the end of the day mate, it's only numbers, better off catching barbel consistently than worrying about doubles, working out...

ill be sticking to the rules as i dnt chuck fluff about no disrespect intended to those who do,over close season il stick to the ponds.then i know im being an angler who sticks to the rules, i actually use worms sometimes and had barbel on them but only with a boilie on too but i have seen an angler catch 3 barbel from broken scar on worm only and in the season,as for salmon running up the tees they are seen a few jump at scar and also about 2 year ago in january i was spinning for pike and...

What can be done? Not a lot, best to stick to doing the right thing and not fishing river in the close season and set an example for others mate.

barbusclueless i have seen it and not impressed but what can be done about it not a lot,if it is true then it is a prospect for the coming season of a new record and possibly a bigger one is about in the tees somewherejust catching it that be the problem.or it could be a total wind up of a 14lber coming out.and yes the tees is very low as i came over blackwell bridge this morning and took a look seen 4 barbel near the bridge and a couple of chub,but i wnt be waisting my time with the free...

Thanks for the report dinsdaleman,

I was going to put a post on asking how the river was looking as we have not had a decent downpour in weeks. Not long to wait now and have the day booked off and shore leave off the missus sorted. Guess if it stays like this it's going to be low and like gin.

This is the lowest i have ever seen the river in May for the past 20 years,a huge amount of our migrating coarse fish are still stuck down at Yarm waiting for a bit of fresh.If we dont get it soon it will be a poor start to the season as they always need 3 to 4 weeks to settle again after running up the river.
Made spotting easy though watched a big female Barbel and 3 much smaller males going through their routine at the Nursery at Dinsdale.
Also spotted a shoal of 8 to 10 fish (at...

Hello Matt,
as ja75 was saying try joining a club with ATDAC membership then you get access to stretches at Sockburn and Dinsdale as well. I am a Thornaby member and as Caster said in his post it is a bit of a hike to a decent swim but as I'm new to barbel fishing myself I can't really comment on the population of fish, though there have been some double figure fish caught on this stretch. Thornaby club also have a stretch at Brompton on Swale and a lovely looking stretch at...

Hi,

Stockton is not a bad club with water on the Tees from worsall right down to yarm. I have also been told that Darlington Brown Trout is worth a look at as well. Ferryhill have only one secton on the Tees at over dinsdale, the stretch is on the opposite bank to the associations water (ATDAC), so you are probably better joining a club with membership to ATDAC. The rest of Ferryhill water is on the Wear, Tyne, Swale and Browney (I think)

Cheers

Noticed that the Tees wasn't up on the new board, so Iv'e kicked it off. Only two days to go now. Cannot wait!!!!

The weather is supposed to be wet, and I for one hope it is. If the river is carrying 2 to 3ft of extra water, it will fish it's head off. We should be in for a good weekend, the barbel will be "avin it".

Hope this season is better than last, and those biggies start comming out again.
