hello,

after introducing myself in the "New Member Introductions" area, i would like to ask a question to the wear anglers.

it seems, we will be from the 10th. to the 24th. august 24 in a cottage around frosterley.
i know nobody is a clairvoyant and i know that the water level is mostly the important thing,
but do you think, there should be a nice flyfishing for seatrout in the midle of august in this river area?

if possible i will not moving my car to go fishing. but if your experiences are, that the fishing around frosterley is not that good in august, maybe because it is to much upstream, i would try to get a ticket aroud auckland and drive a little bit downstream. but if possible i would like to stay around the cottage in frosterlay.

what are your experiences?

thank you!

If the water is a bit on the high side fish will be around Frosterley in August. If the water is on the low side in July and August take a permit for the beats around Bishop Auckland and/or Page Bank, Lukas .

thanks! will do it this way.
i will keep an eye on the weather during july and contact this thread again a few days before we get on the way to england!
👌🏽

Very good idea ! 😃👍 There are a lot of very knowledgeable and really kind Wear anglers in this forum who would give you up to date information.

Just joined bishop Auckland AC is it worth trying their waters yet or is it a bit early still , it’s my first season salmon fishing

It‘s much too early for the BADAC waters. They use to start in the middle of June. Best month‘s there are August, September and October.

Still early times…

A wind up Lol 😂 Shows you how easily people can be fooled.
People need to not post on illegal fishing in forums about the Wear until they have 100% proof, hear say wont suffice as hear say nearly always turns out to be exactly what it is.
Rumour ( an unofficial interesting story or piece of news that might be true or invented and quickly spreads from person to person: )
Chinese whispers:

Rumours such as these which are often fabricated and blown out of proportion are not helping the river River gain back it's cred.

I‘ve seen some really strange illegal fishing ( snatching ) two years ago directly opposite me on the wall in Durham . If it had been in Germany and in my area the guys had been had a very interesting experience…

According to some friends on the lower river the fish have started to come in quite late this year.
Just some days ago in the middle of August.

I‘ve seen the river in the 1990ies and it was really full of fish. To be honest mostly seatrout but also a good head of salmon. But in comparison to a lot of other formally very good salmon and seatrout rivers the Wear has still a wealthy run. More salmon than seatrout nowadays but good ones.
Nevertheless the run in the autumn last year was a bit thin. Hopefully it will be better this autumn.

 

[lax0341]

There are rumours of quite fresh fish coming in…

 

[lax0341]

Will have a look from tomorrow. Just travelling over…

 

[lax0341]

Hopefully it brings some fresh fish in Lewis .😉
I‘m sitting at the airport in Berlin…

 

[lax0341]

Just arrived at Tow Law.😃

Good luck Robert, enjoy your stay. Willie Gunns seems to be doing the business this year!

I will try the Willie Guns. Fortunately I‘ve got some of your great Willie Guns still in my box Ian. 😃

 

[lax0341]

Congratulations Lewis ! Very successful day Yesterday.😎
Michael told me …

 

[lax0341]

It's a different Lewis mate, I've not been fishing mate 👍

Oh sorry Lewis, that’s really another Lewis then who caught the fish.

 

[lax0341]

I don‘t believe the numbers of the pass. The pass ist too badly operated. Last year there was a tree blocking the pass for more than 10 days in October. Not ideal conditions for migratory fish to run.

Just returned from my annual autumn trip to the Wear. This year it was a really good one.
Four salmon between 5 and 22 pounds and 3 seatrout between 2 and 4 pounds gave me a great 8 days fishing time. The Wear is still a very good river but I‘ve seen much less fish than lets say 10 years ago.
