Fishing the Tyne

[JimB]

Can anyone tell me how far you can fish up the tyne without a licence? I believe that its tidal up to wylam but can you fish that far up?

 

[Mad as a fish]

you can catch flaties as far up as Wylam but i am not sure of the law.

 

[Mad as a fish]

you can fish as far up as the white house on the ryton side of the river without a license.

not as many flatties further up river as there would be at the aa business park or down by the copthorne hotel

Fished Copthorne, British Airways Car park scotswood park area and there's no need for a licence. Some lads from work fished the British Airways cap park last year with some surprising results. Flatties by dozen

DONT FORGET FROM NEWBURN BRIDGE most of the bank fishing is controled ie northumberland angling fed dunn family close house

 

[steppeydog]

you can fish anywhere below newburn bridge without a licence ie down river as above is club water

You also need to remember that even if you do fish as far up as you can any species like trout, sea trout, salmon etc must be put back unless you have a rod license.

At Tyne Riverside Country Park at Newburn. The TAA (Tyne Anglers Alliance) controls the fishing on both banks of the Tyne.

I live in greenside so not far from you when I was younger I lived in throckley and was always fishin below the bridge ryton side at the rowing club
Had a canny few flatties small stuff like but trout sea trout and eels also come in from there , if you want to fish for flatties go to the business park on scotswood road or behind kfc near the metro centre from the wooden platform and u will catch flatties whiting eels and small codling

 

[JimB]
