the tyne has had its best start for many a year with salmon caught from the tidal reaches downstream as far up river as corbridge [ i recon 35 fish caught i wont be far off ] . but we all know its a long season and we canot control whats going on out at sea from greenland to the tyne [ look at 2009 season ] anyway lets be positive the new tunnel i recon has no effect as yet on our salmon runs thats just my own opinion ok . . the real time to tell is when the river is low for a few weeks in the summer and if dirt ect comes up off the river bed through work this is when we will no the real effect lets hope guys its all a load of hoggwash this tunnel lark .
