Can't see there been many good salmon catches best sport probably on the night sessions after the seatrout.

There’s not really been a salmon season yet unless you’re fishing the bottom of the river beats. Sea trout at night has been the main stay of Wear action for the rest of the river.
 
Aye, thought as much mate very poor year water wise
The sea trout fishing has been generally ok. A bit patchy at times and didn’t start in the middle river until well into July and end of the month before you started consistently seeing fish.
Really needs a big lift to flush the river out and move the fish higher up.
 
Definitely in need of a big flush here in Weardale. The spawning redds are all covered in slime weed and silt, so even if the fish get here there is no where for the to go. River levels have done nothing in the last 2 days showers.
Some of the feeder streams have completely dried up as well.
