Feedback & Reports

I had planned to fish the River Tees for some of 3rd, 4th and 5th June. Two issues frustrated that plan: (a) a significant rise in water levels on 3rd/4th making wading by an 80 year old, in an unknown river, far too risky, and (b) the fact that the most accessible areas upstream of Low Force had been cordoned off for the protection of wild flowers. I can understand and welcome plant conservation, but I think there ought to be closer liaison between The North Pennines National Landscape team and The Fishing Passport, so that these restrictions are indicated on the booking website.
