Yarm,

Behind sainsburys up to the viaduct is free, then there are a few swims past that up until you come to a fence which is private.

The place is hammered, I always struggle there but there are pike present.

Cheers jim do you need any sort of licence
To fish it mate

I replied to your message buddy, you just need a freshwater rod licence which is £27 a year. Or £3 a day as the renewal is soon.
Remember the rivers close middle March until middle of June.

Are you after catching pike on a lure?

Preston park is a good place about a mile of free fishing, as Jim said a rod licence is all you need,

Other free stretch at Middleton at George, there are pike present. Then there's horseshoe bend and basselton woods, pike are there. And don't rule out Stockton town centre for pike.

Personally the free bits aren't my cup of tea, overfished or too crowded. But worth a shot
