to spotter ..sorry m8 but i can only fish till about 6pm as i have other commitments and i dont live on the doorstep.... to cod seeker me and my m8 are in ferryhill and district angling club we fish the river wear at croxdale[durham] on the honest lawyer stretch we park in the honest lawyer hotel car park [the club has permission] last year on this stretch we had chub up to 7 lbs salmon 9 lbs sea trout up th 5 lbs grayling 2.5 lbs perch 1.5 lbs roach 1lb brown trout up to 18inches and small barbel needless to say apart from possibly the salmon and a couple of trout everything was returned safely... the rivers are a bit slow at the moment because of the cold but in about a month they will "take off" hope this helps
