About the River Greta (Tees)
The River Greta is a tributary of the River Tees in County Durham. It runs past Bowes and Greta Bridge and joins the Tees at the Meeting of the Waters near Rokeby. Its name comes from Old Norse and Old English words for coarse stones. Around Greta Bridge the river is the boundary between the parishes of Rokeby and Brignall. This is the Greta that joins the Tees, not the Greta in Cumbria.
The Greta is a wild trout stream, and brown trout and grayling are fished for on it. Monitoring by the Environment Agency and the Tees Rivers Trust has found good numbers of sea trout in the upper river, and in wetter summers these come in from August onwards.
The fishing is held by clubs and farms, with fly only, barbless and catch and release rules in places.
