About River Tyne

The River Tyne is a productive mixed fishery offering excellent opportunities for both coarse and game anglers across its 51.6km length. The river holds strong populations of chub and roach in slower sections, with trout and salmon providing exciting sport in faster reaches and during seasonal runs. Access is generally good with several fishing clubs and day-ticket beats available, though permits are typically required and local advice is recommended before visiting.

The statutory close season on River Tyne runs 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). No coarse fishing is permitted during this period. Fishing rights on River Tyne are typically held by the riparian owner or a local angling association — check before visiting, as no rod licence is required in Scotland.
