Hopefully someone else will advise you, i just would not waste my money with Thornaby if its soley Barbel you are targeting as even for Chub Croft isnt as half as good as it was before the Barrage was built at stockton!
I tend to go further afield to rivers which arent as unpredictable as the Tees due to compensation water from the resevoir's being fed into the river to help canoists on weekends at the Barrage.
