Bellingham, River North Tyne

River level

The lowdown

• A scenic North Tyne stretch running through Bellingham in northern Northumberland. Proper attractive water, although the club doesn’t publish a checked length, peg count or detailed bank breakdown.
• This is game-fishing water rather than a broad coarse-fishing ticket. The club’s published rules cover salmon, sea trout and brown trout fishing.
• You’ll need to bring a landing net and disgorger. Simple bit of kit, but both are compulsory under the club rules.
• Only one rod can be fished at a time, and every rod being fished must be at the same peg. No juggling rods between swims.
• Barbed hooks are out. Barbless or micro-barbed hooks are allowed, so get your tackle sorted before heading off.
• Brown trout have a maximum daily take of two fish. No grayling may be killed or taken, and game fish must not go in a keep net.
• The migratory-fish limit is three salmon and sea trout in total per week. Coarse fish can’t be removed or killed without committee permission.
• Night fishing is not allowed. Camping, bivvies and tents are also banned on the river stretches, so this is strictly a daylight session.
• Parking is only allowed in designated and specified places. Fires, barbecues, alcohol and radios are prohibited at the bankside too — keep it tidy and low-key.

Methods: Treat it as a game-fishing river and fish within the club’s salmon, sea trout and brown trout rules. A landing net and disgorger are compulsory, with one rod only and no night fishing.

Access & tickets

FDAC membership is required for ordinary club-water fishing. The club’s 2026 membership prices are £60 senior, £25 intermediate, £10 junior, £35 OAP and £40 disabled. The club defines a temporary member as someone who has purchased a day ticket, but it does not publish a day-ticket price for Hunwick & Newfield.
