    Open Saturday 14 March until
    Monday 30 November 2015.
                                              reputation as being a friendly,
                                              family oriented fishery.
    Directions: Located just off the A696
    and close to the village of Rothbury.

    It is located within easy reach of
    Tyneside and offers top class fishing
    for fly and bait anglers alike. Many of
    Fontburn’s trout are stocked from
    our own on site fish farm and is
    suitable for disabled anglers.

    On site we have an excellent lodge
    shop stocked with everything you
    need for a days fishing such as
    rods, reels, tackle, accessories,
    clothing, worms, bait, ice creams
    and refreshments including hot
    and cold drinks. Environment
    Agency rod licenses are also on
    sale at this fishery.

    For non-anglers, there is a stunning
    circular walk and a spacious
    picnicking area for you to relax at.

    The reservoir and surrounding land
    is home to a vast array of wildlife and
    wild flowers. On some days you can
    watch juvenile ospreys fishing and
    observe great crested newts in the
    north shore lagoon ponds. Soaring
    buzzards are a common sight and if
    you are lucky it is also possible to

      HURY
      Open Saturday 14 March until Monday 30 November 2015.

      Directions: Located in the Balder Valley, the lake can be reached
      from either Romaldkirk or Cotherstone on the B6277 Barnard Castle
      to Middleton-in-Teesdale road.

      Stocked weekly, often with our own grown fish from our Teesdale
      fish farm, Hury is a must for traditional and fly fishing enthusiasts.

      There are picnic and play areas located on both the north and south
      shore next to the dam wall for you to relax at. The reservoir is home
      to a vast array of wildlife and wildflowers.

      In May the hawthorn bloom fills the western end of the reservoir with
      both colour and perfume. Several species of wading birds can be
      seen on the shoreline sharing the water with other wildfowl such as
      teal and widgeon.

North York Moors National Park. The western
end of the reservoir site has been designated a
nature reserve and, as part of this is also within
the North York Moors, it has been classed as a
Site of Special Scientific Interest.

Although there is no public access within the
nature reserve, we have developed an excellent
circular walk that follows the boundary.

The walk begins from the sailing club car park
as a grassy path which goes through a small
area of woodland and then onto a track known as
Boghouse Lane.

Going in an anti-clockwise direction, this track
skirts the edge of the nature reserve with
boardwalks crossing particularly boggy areas
and a bridge taking you over the main inlet
stream to the reservoir.

The path then takes you onto the moor, still
skirting the edge of the nature reserve, and a stile
eventually leads you back towards the reservoir
adjacent to conifer and broadleaved woodland.
The rest of the path stays close to the reservoir
going through areas of heather, species rich
grassland and gorse.

HINTS AND TIPS
BY ANDREW SCOTT
Our very own ranger at Teesdale has once again been selected to represent the England national fly
fishing team. Here are some fantastic tips from Andrew which will help you to catch consistently across
our waters during the season…

 1. Fish the margins!                                                     2. Keep on the move!
