Guest miller1989 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Yesderday evening i rang a mate of mine and told him about the amount of fish id seen throught the day while walking the dog,so he decided to drive 60miles to the spot,so at 6pm i walked the dog a mile to the spot near me and met him.Rod set up and first run through the pool he got a 12lb cock salmon coloured so it was returned about 40mins later he landed a 5lb sea trout very fresh so kept that. He lost another 2 before the light went and another bloke caught a 3lb sea trout! So today i got up walked the dog and the river was steady with 1ft 4 inches of water just the way i used to like it,so i rang the lad who runs the club my pal and said whys none of your members fishing the water,as this is one of the best beats on the river and people come from all over the country to fish it,he said im not sure the probs at another beat.I asked if i went and got a rod licence for the day could i have a fish and he said no probs. So off i went and got back to the river bank at 11am today happy chappy,cut a longs story short first cast in two years and the spinner(black and gold flying C) yet to let me down produced a 21lb 5oz cock salmon with lice all over it and it was the best fight ive had in a long time as the day went on it nearly produced another which i lost.Between 3.30 and 5.00 i managed another salmon weighing 8lb hen fish retured and 1 sea trout 3lb also returned i was over the moon and even considering buying a licence and start fishing again! Ive photos but cant upload them will find someone that knows how to asap! Tight Lines Quote Link to post

abailiff 0 Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 In reply to BRYKAY's last post Just to set the record straight. Hammerite were not prosecuted, and neither were Kimberley Clark, before somebody raises that old chestnut. All the evidence available pointed to High water temperature and low dissolved oxygen for both 92, 95 and even more recently. It was then, and may be again unfortunately, a natural rather than man made tragedy, which makes it all the more difficult to stomach. Even though the Tyne is now regarded as the best salmon river in Engalnd and Wales we can still ask how much better would she have been. Quote Link to post
