From the underrated spring run at Bywell to a back-end that produces fresh silver fish to the very last day — how the River Tyne salmon and sea trout season unfolds.

A beginner's guided day at Bywell, start to finish — the safety briefing, the gear (Loop rods, RIO lines and all), casting from scratch, and the watercraft that actually catches fish.

Where Atlantic salmon and sea trout lie, the rods and lines to cover them with, and how to fish a pool in rotation so two anglers add up instead of competing.
