NORTH TYNE (Bellingham) The Tyne is England's Premier Salmon River The Club has access to approximately 5.5 miles of water on the River North Tyne. This extends from Low Carriteth (upstream of Bellingham, Northumberland) to the tail of the Eals beat (downstream of the village). With several  named pools (e.g. Charlton, Hesleyside, Ridings), this is the Club's longest and most productive stretch of water.  Felling members have landed salmon up to 28lb. (Club Record - 2004) and sea trout to 12lb. on these beats. There is also a significant brown trout population, with fish as large as 4 pounds taken each year. Secure parking is available on all beats within walking distance of the river. In addition, the Club has a short  stretch of water on the North Tyne at Houxty, near Wark.

REDE (West Woodburn) Members have access to 3 miles of this tributary of the North Tyne. The Club's waters are situated either side of the A68 bridge at West Woodburn in Northumberland. This beautiful stretch offers challenging but rewarding fishing. The beat is varied with numerous named pools (including the Ingram, Bridge and Tarzan pools), tumbling rapids and glides. There is a good head of brown trout - some as large as 3.5 pounds. Excellent runs of salmon and sea trout can be expected from June onwards.  For the trout angler we have a yearly stocking of brown trout in the 11" to 13" range. This is subject to permission from DEFRA, availability of fish and river conditions.
