The weather has changed for the better, water levels have risen and brought with the runs of sea trout and salmon, although still not in great quantity.

One of our newer members who has only just taken up salmon fishing has, with a bit of help from a number of club members, caught his first salmon, on the fly, on the River Tees. He doesn’t know who was more surprised at his success, him or the fish. The fish was estimated to be in excess of double figures and fought well.
