As many of you will be aware, Richard Sidgwick ("Dick" to his friends) passed away suddenly on 5 August.
At his, and his family's, request he has recently been privately cremated.
Dick will be sadly missed. The time and effort he spent running , organising and maintaining our fisheries was immense.
As
well as the work undertaken for Yarm Angling Club, he was also very
involved with the running of ATDAC and more recently LTAA.
To
thank and celebrate his life, Yarm Angling Limited will be opening the
clubhouse one afternoon, when we hope that his friends and colleagues
from all the organisations in which he was involved can meet up and
remember him and celebrate his life.
THIS DATE FOR THIS "OPEN HOUSE" CELEBRATION WILL BE ADVISED IN THE NEAR FUTURE ON THE CLUB'S WEBSITE AND FACEBOOK PAGES.
We look forward to seeing you.
Posted on behalf of Yarm Angling Club Committee.

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.
For more details of these waters visit our venues page .
