Far as i am aware mate, its NOT a free stretch, it belongs to the swalwell angling club, you need a fresh water (rod) licence, you also have to join swalwell club to fish it or get a day ticket if they are available, i was once under the impression it was a free stretch, until i got told different

That bit's Axwell Park and Derwent Valley AA water, which ends at the Swalwell road bridge. (I don't think that section's tidal either, as there's another weir a bit further down, I believe.) As I understand it, the shortish section that runs past the allotments below the Swalwell road bridge down to the Tyne is free though. Or at least, I'm pretty sure it's not controlled by any clubs anyway.

Either way, you'd need an EA rod licence to fish it. (And maybe a permit too!)
