Has anyone any experience of fishing either the East Allen (near Allendale, Northumberland) or the West Allen which runs close by?

 

The East Allen runs behind my house and looks inviting for some intermate fishing even if the water is low at times. I have been told that both the East and West Allen hold brown trout even though I've never seen any or my many walks along the banks.

 

I've never seen anyone fishing the East Allen but I'm told that browns are about, I just don't know where to start or who controls the rights. I've also been told about some waterfall pools on the West Allen that can hold fish (areas seen on map but not personally).

 

Hope someone can shed light on these minor rivers as it would be nice to have gentle fishing right behind my house.

 

Steve.

Hi Steven. I just came across your post, which you made almost 3 years ago! You may have moved since then, but on the off-chance that you are still interested in fishing on the River East Allen, I can confirm that the river is indeed teaming with wild brown trout and that a new angling club has recently been set up, having acquired a lease from the land-owners in March 2011. As at the time of posting this (Jan 2012), there are still a handful of places left to become a member. The cost for an annual full membership (over 17 years of age) is £45. Alternatively, you can buy a day permit from the Village Shoppe, Post Office or Golden Lion in Allendale Village Square. More information is available on the club website, www.allenvalleyanglers.co.uk - where you can also apply for membership.

 

Hope this is still of interest to you.
