About the River Derwent (Tyne)
The River Derwent is a tributary of the River Tyne in North East England, and runs for about 35 miles. It begins about a mile west of Blanchland, where the Beldon Burn and Nookton Burn meet, and flows through Derwent Reservoir near Edmundbyers. Below the dam it passes Muggleswick, the Derwent Gorge, Allensford, Shotley Bridge, Blackhall Mill and Rowlands Gill before joining the Tyne at Derwenthaugh. For much of its length it runs between the historic counties of Durham and Northumberland. It is not the River Derwent in Derbyshire.
The Derwent holds wild brown trout and grayling, and a fish pass at Shotley Bridge has led to salmon and sea trout being caught occasionally.
The fishing is held by an angling association and other clubs, mostly fly water, with a Wild Trout Trust report on the river.
