We have over 5 miles of prime fishing on the River Tees around the historic town of Yarm, and we have 1 mile of water on the middle Tees at Bowl Hole (Low Middleton). The fishing at Yarm is mainly for the good stocks of bream, roach, perch, chub, dace and pike. The Bowl Hole area is mainly chub, barbel, bream, perch, dace, roach, trout and grayling. We also have the 5-acre Halnaby Lake containing bream, carp (to mid-double figures), roach, perch, and a few tench, chub and barbel,  and Turlwick Pond containing tench (to 7lbs), bream, roach, carp, F1 carp, ide and perch. These stillwaters have been protected against otters and have private off-road car parks.
Most pegs on both stillwaters and on the Yarm pegs on the river have sturdy, plastic platforms installed to make the fishing even more comfortable and safe.

Farmers and gamekeepers have reported continuing problems with suspected poaching as well as theft of farm property.

Whilst we as fishermen enjoy the right to roam the river bank and cast a line, the sight of somebody wandering around without fishing tackle isn’t allowed (our rights are to fish) and can sometimes set alarm bells ringing.

The legality is that maintenance work including the trimming of trees and clearance of access paths should be agreed with the farmer or landowner prior to any work being carried out. There are also potential implications regarding insurance cover for members acting independently on unapproved maintenance.

Occasionally there have been reports of members on the river bank who don’t have fishing tackle but they were believed to be in fact carrying out well intentioned maintenance work.

We do not want to discourage this, far from it, all help is much appreciated. However, this needs to be done properly and the right people informed beforehand of your expected presence and activities.

 Dick Sidgwick Tel 07870680953 and Paul Richmond Tel 07815818030 plan and carry out regular work on the stillwaters and river stretches respectively, liaising with the farmers or landowners to ensure that we do not cause them any problems.

To preserve good relations we request anybody planning or wishing to help with work on the river bank to please speak to Dick or Paul beforehand.

All offers of help will be very welcome.
