With the season for Brown Trout over and only two weeks of the 2011 season left, the river is full due to recent heavy rains and is "absolutely lifting" with Sea Trout. If you're intending to get a few hours of fishing in before the season ends, don't forget, you need a valid migratory fish licence. If you don't have a full licence, a day licence currently costs £8 and can be purchased from the post office online.
Tight lines everyone!

On the last day of the Brown Trout Season, in record heat for the time of the year, Daryn managed to get a day off work and headed to the Allendale Town Beat for a couple of hours fishing. A few casts downstream of the bridge at Allen Mill netted a few small trout and salmon parr plus a slightly larger trout of approx 10 inches. Venturing about half a mile upstream of the bridge brought the total number of fish caught to 12 - with all fish falling for an Endricks Spider. "I stopped on the bridge on the way back and watched as about 10 trout were rising freely in the pool upstream. A good end to the season and i cant wait to get back up there next year."

Daughter Lucy caught this beautiful brown trout - her first ever fish - on the Allendale Town Beat on a sedge-type dry fly.

Caught two Brownies on the Studdon Bridge Beat - the first about 5" and the second about 8". It was dark by the time I left - even the midges had gone, but the bats joined me - lovely and relaxing for a Sunday night before getting back to the grindstone on Monday.

Plenty of rain has left the river levels fairly high and some good sea trout are running again. A 2lb beauty was netted at 7.30am this morning about 200 yards downstream from the Allen Mill bridge wear.

With river low and clear, fish were tricky this evening, but managed this micro trout from the Town Beat. Some larger fish moving through pools.

Caught 5 browns from lower Town Beat, including this little beauty! They all took a small bibio. Tips...keep low, fish short, keep moving, fish the fast water

River in flood, but plenty of flies hatching off. Caught two brown trout to 0.5llb at the lower limit of The Allendale Town Beat. Both fish took a small, black zulu.

Stangroom from Leeds fishes the Town Beat on the last day of the
2011 season (30 September 2011).
It was
such a warm day and this pool was full of fish, which you can see
rising to take flies off the surface
It was
all going so well, and then....
This
video taken by Sarah Kemp on 12th August 2011 on the stretch of
river behind Riding Haughs. The river is flowing quite quickly
after several days of rain.
This video was
shot by our Chairman, Graeme Edwards, looking from Phillip Burn to
the left behind the cricket ground - a lovely deep pool holding sea
trout!
