marks near stockton .

[codcatcher3000]

hello all just wondering if any of u know any river mark thats fishable around the stockton mark . have just started work there so was wondering if there was any decent spots along the river etc and from where on does stop becoming tidal ? cheers

I think the barrage is the tidal barrier on the Tees, with pretty good fishing above it. It's a free stetch pretty much from here up-river to Yarm with good pike spots accessable through Preston Park. There also used to be plenty of perch and bream, remember the tees also used to hold the chub record. For up to date info try the tackle shop in Thornaby, can't remember the name.

Cleveland angling is the shop, really helpful

im from the Stockton area, so depends what you want to catch.

The river at Yarm is good, behind Sainsburys is often good bream fishing on an evening. If you walk under the bridge its good Pike and perch fishing. If you stay on that bank its free fishing for miles.

Also if you go into the green at thornaby, the houses back onto the river. Horse shoe bend is good for chubb.

Ive also been told that Middlesbrough angling club have given up the stretch in leven. If so thats great trout, grayling and chubb fishing..

Hope that helps a little?
