Haughton Castle

Practical Information

• Anglers are expected to fish the fly whenever possible, although spinning is permitted except on the Rack Pool
• Some areas require a reasonably capable vehicle to access tracks, although all pools can be reached on foot.
• Fishing at Haughton Castle offers wild fishing experience. While they endeavour to keep tracks clear and accessible, the stretch is intentionally left largely unmanaged to preserve its natural character and wildlife habitat. Anglers should therefore expect a more natural, unmanicured environment in keeping with the unique setting of the River North Tyne.
• Wading can be challenging in some areas.

Anglers Must -

• Hold a valid Environment Agency rod licence.
• Complete the catch record sheet located in the box on the wall at Haughton Castle.
• Park considerately and close all gates (livestock may be present).
• Dogs must be kept under control
• No caravans, tents or fires are permitted.

Fishing is self-guided - If a ghillie is required, contact details of a local ghillie/guide who lives on the beat at Haughton Castle can be provided. Guiding can be arranged directly with them and would be at an additional cost agreed between the angler and the guide.
