Parking & Access
Park only in designated parking areas
Description
Game anglers are catered for with big sea trout running the river Wear,(now officially the best sea trout fish river in the country and the 2nd best salmon river) salmon, brown trout and grayling. The Environment Agency has recently stocked several sections of the river Browney with grayling which in time should improve the Wears population of this lovely looking ‘lady of the stream’. A recent EA survey showed excellent growth rates with 2-3 year old fish.
The river Wear fished exceptionally well towards the end of 09 season with mixed dace/chub catches over 140 lbs being taken. The river Wears’ chub and barbel continue to grow and there never has been a better time to take a P.B. specimen and a new national record dace is always a possibility, and not only as is generally thought, from a small section of the river by the County hotel; big dace are being taken from all D.C.A.C. sections of the Wear. July 2010 saw another stocking of 3000 each of chub and dace at Shincliffe and Maiden castle.
Dace, Chub and Bream were stocked in 2011 by the EA, and a further stocking of the Wear with dace and barbel is planned during the 3rd week November 2011.

If you purchased your ticket online via Castbooker, please bring your confirmation email and some form of identification with you when you fish as you may need to show them to a Bailiff (this can be printed or on your phone).
Stock
Pole tactics at 10m to the far bank have been the favoured with a mixture of baits including maggots pellets & corn. Some carp exceed 5-6lb so you may need to use other tactics to land the odd bigger carp.

Rules
Shincliffe Village Water Rules:
1. Park only in the locations shown in the maps and please do not obstruct any gate entrances to fields or Shincliffe Hall.
2. Downstream from the upstream boundary fence of Shincliffe Hall to Maiden Castle.
a). March 15th to June 15th (i.e. Coarse fish Close Season)
b). June 16th to 14th March any method but ground baiting by swim feeder only.
3. The Committee recommends the use of barbless hooks at all times. However, hooks larger than size`10 must be barbless or have a crushed barb.
From the downstream boundary of the Hall downstream to the Rose Tree Pub the banks are mostly wooded and steep with the water being deeper than found upstream.
Fish stocks are similar to upstream with the occasional barbel being reported in the last few years.
