A rise of water in the last few days has had great runs of sea trout and a few salmon jumping through the fish pass in Durham City. Lots have been caught too. The sea trout average 4lb with many in the 6 and 7lb class. The Wear is really a very fine sea trout river and the 2009 season looks very promising!
The numbers of fish has had anglers fishing almost side by side - combat style - in the city centre. Not pretty to watch but at least legal (the Wear in Durham city does suffer from blatent snatching).
The salmon are not doing so badly too!
