Allen Valley Angling & Conservation (AVAC) was established in July, 2011 by local environmentalist and fishing enthusiast Paul Frear. Allen Valley Angling & Conservation is based in Allendale, Northumberland in North East England. Discovering that his local river - the River East Allen - was a considerable undeveloped fishing resource, Paul set up Allen Valley Angling & Conservation to facilitate the sustainable development of this resource. The organisation has a growing membership of people who share Paul's passion for conserving and improving the river habitat - as well as for fly fishing!
The organisation is not-for-profit and this means the money anglers pay to go fishing goes straight back to the fishery - with revenues contributing towards conservation efforts to improve fish stock and riverside access. In effect, simply by going fishing on the AVAC waters, anglers are in fact helping to protect and improve the Allen Valley's fisheries.

The River East
Allen, situated in the beautiful North Pennines - a designated area
of outstanding natural beauty - is home to wild brown trout and
provides a spawning ground for sea trout and salmon, which swim up
the River Tyne on the North East Coast, to where it joins the River
East Allen, near Allendale.
These wild native fish provide great sport for anglers and Allen Valley Angling & Conservation welcomes anglers of all levels of experience.
Please do take some time to find out about becoming a member of Allen Valley Angling & Conservation, or if you are visiting the area for a short time, where you can get your day or weekly fishing permit.

As an organisation, we're committed to improving and managing the natural environment of the River East Allen.
We undertake all kinds of projects - from path creation & bank management to tree canopy management and removal of harmful debris from the river itself.
