All of the private fisherys in the NE are open. The NWL waters start opening on the 15th-22nd of march I beleive.

Waskerley Park

This is a canny little fishery twenty minutes North of Consett, up on the moors.

Although it is predominantly a private club water they do allow five, day tickets per day on a first come first served basis, although you can pre-book in advance.

It's well stocked every three weeks, mostly with wily brown trout and offers a two fish limit, using either fly or worm for £10 p.p. p.d. Fly anglers can catch and release without limit until your second fish is killed (Barbless only).

There are also a limited number of memberships available and it's ony £70 per year subs (there is an initial additional, one off payment of £35 to new members to cover printing and admin costs)

The 70 quid subs gets you unlimited visits from 6.00am until one hour after sunset March-October. When you look at the price of a day ticket on 'The Derwent' this represents excellent value. As a member you also get the opportunity to fish 'Smiddy Shaw' reservoir which is members only.

All-in-all, a great little lake, pretty as a picture and always quiet. If you see ten rods on, it's considered 'busy' by the regulars.

Give it a go!

Two fish per day, although you may catch and release as many as you like until your second fish is killed.

Unlimited number of visits in a season, fishing from 6.00am 'till an hour after sunset.

It's good value and quiet. The most you see on is 10 rods at the weekend and two or three during the week. Which is nowt when you consider that the lake is around 65 acres (takes best part of an hour to walk round it)
