FishPal offers a comprehensive guide to the River Tyne fisheries here. Their expert introduction makes it clear just how good fishing is:
The Tyne is a risen angel in the world of high class salmon fishing. From its low in 1959, where no salmon or sea trout where reported caught by rod and line, today we see over 6000 migratory fish landed. This renaissance means that the Tyne is now the best salmon river in England and Wales.
