We are very grateful to the local police for their regular visits to our waters at Willington. They are doing a great job of helping us to reduce incidents of poaching on the river.

If you visit the river don’t be surprised to see police officers about.

If you are approached please be ready to show your membership or day permit and your EA licence, and please be sure to thank them for their help in making the fishing you pay for more secure for all of us.

Thank you.

If you’re looking for great Brown Trout fishing, Willington District Angling Club waters on the River Wear is the place to go.

You can buy a Day Permit electronically and avoid all of that risk of going to a shop and just look at the type of fish we’re catching.
