where you guys planning on visiting?

 

[jimmy]

i was going to hit Langley Dam this weekend...but summit cropped up...Caistron is a nice fishery altho last time i went it was heavily weeded..which was slightly off putting.

 

[ozzy37]

yeah caistron seems to have alot of weed, but also means there's plenty food. had great sport on buzzers and snatchers last summer on the boat, got snapped off by by a steam train last time that shot across the whole lake, was informed it was probably one of the 15lbers stocked earlier in the year hard fighting and well conditioned fish like. cant beat quality like this for a stockie like at 2lb
it fought harder than 6lbers fatties iv caught elsewhere

Think I'll dust the fly gear down that I've never used for about ten years and give it a shot this year. Just rivers for me like for brownies and seatrout, I'll probably hit my old stamping ground the Coquet.

Only fished it once mate and didn't like it at all, probably because i blanked like. Canny few years ago you could get a week permit for a tenner for the whitadder and blackadder much better in my opinion but then again I just like river fishing.

 

[bigtel]

wouldnt mind a look up caistron myself never been.

 

[Kev1n]

I’ll be fishing the North and South Tyne, although mostly for migratory fish later in the season. I’ll have an occasional cast up there for the trout through the summer and might have a look at Sweethope or Caistron.
By the sound of it, it will be busy with NESA lads up there this year. We should organise a day out.

[ozzy37]

langley dam's on my list of places to visit, ain't been there yet but the pics of the place look lush!

(just realized where it is, its so close cant believe iv never been!)

 

[Axe]

lovely guy who runs it...fish fight like sharks...and there all natural...and its been closed all January..so they will have forgotten what a hook looks like lol

 

[Durham-Lad]

Mainly the Wear and the occasional venture to sharply. Also want to have a try for Pike at a nearby location.
