COQUET (Weldon Bridge)
Felling has access to 2.5 miles of prime early season fishing on the River Coquet. This is located downstream of Weldon Bridge on the A697, 6 miles east of Rothbury in Northumberland. Good runs of salmon and sea trout can be expected throughout the season. The best fish to date include a 22 pound salmon, a 14 pound sea trout and a 6 pound brown trout.
TILL (Fenton) and (Ford)
Felling members are able to fish this productive 1.5 mile stretch, located on the Fenton Estate, near Milfield in Northumberland. The River Till, a Tweed tributary, provides an extended season (i.e. until the end of November). It has an excellent autumn run of salmon and regularly produces double figure sea trout. There is a sizeable head of grayling.
April 2010 - Agreement reached witth Ford and Etal Estates Department has added the Ford Beat to water available to Members on this river. The Estate have their own River Watchers who will escort you from the water for failure to display car badge and/or produce membership card.
WEAR (Durham)
The Club has 2.5 miles of water on the River Wear, between Durham City and Franklin Prison. Although less popular than other venues, this stretch of the Wear offers first class angling for sea trout and also provides salmon, trout and grayling fishing of a high standard. The Club now (2007) has fishing lower down the river known as Moorhouse Woods by the National Trust but shown on O.S maps as Rainton Park Wood.
The 2010 Season saw the addition of water at Low Grange Farm. This is a one mile stretch of river on the opposite bank to the lower end of our current Frankland Farm Beat. It offers excellent fly fishing for the salmon and sea trout angler as well as excellent parking and location to the river.
For the 2005-2006 season the Club formed a Coarse Fishing section of Associate Members, as an experiment. The matter was reviewed at the 2006 A.G.M. and it was agreed to continue the section on a permanent basis.
