About the club
A small club with exceptional river fishing
Darlington Fly Fishers Club has provided members with quality fly fishing in Teesdale for more than seventy-five years.
Our fishing includes secluded stretches of the River Tees below Barnard Castle and the River Greta above Greta Bridge. The club remains intentionally small, preserving the character of the fishing and the waters we are privileged to enjoy.
Our waters
Four distinctive beats
From broad Tees pools and runs to the intimate, tree-lined Greta, each beat offers its own character and challenges.
Since 1949
Rooted in the traditions of river fly fishing
The club was formed in 1949 when members of Darlington Anglers' Club secured fishing rights from local riparian owners. Artificial fly only was one of the original conditions and remains central to the club today.
