Good Value

Sharpley is really good value,relaxed excellent fishery

Even when it can get really busy and huge angling pressure which can make it fish really hard

It always seems to recover and come back into form....due to good stocking policy and the guys keeping the place tidy

it's well worth a visit

Excellent Buzzer Hatches At Sharpley

Excellent buzzer hatches ,so when fishing dry,emergent patterns at Sharpley they did well.Green Shipman's buzzers were unbeatable at times-so long as they were no larger than size 18! I find the lads in the fishing lodge helpful by offering me flys and giving some hints on where to fish on the 6 lakes, however 5 are for Fly Fishing, one is Dry Fly only, another is the Cuthbert where you have to take the fish and there is no catch and release. The biggest other three lakes are both catch and release and take your fish lakes. All gives a great varied and fishing experience. The lodge has complementary coffee and tea all day. It's really easy to get too as its only 5 min off the A19 at Seaham from the North and 10 min from the South. Travelling from Newcastle or Middlesbrough takes only 25 min .Can be a little breezy at times but some of the trees are maturing and you can find sheltered places. The bottom dam is the place to try to find easy fishing . A good venue with excellent quality trout.

Blue Fishing For A Few Short Hours????

On my first visit to these waters, I was struck by the open aspect of the site, you can see rolling countryside plus a backdrop of the north sea in the back ground. The guys in the Large hut come rest room made me very welcome, I paid my fund's them went to the banks of the large lake, which had a display of both large and small trout jumping, on taking up my stand I saw a large number of blue, rain bow and brown trout cruse by enjoying the swim to my front. Using a slow sinking line and a number of fly's which the guys in the cabin said where ok, I spent a pleasent hour, before the nice chap fishing to my right said "try one of his home made pattens".

Bingo and nice 2lb blue trout + 2 nice rainbows, which give great sport,I will return, thank you all, who helped me enjoy a fine day of sport.

I found this review not helpful because allthough the reviewer mentioned some negative points they did not expand on them sufficiently to assist readers as to just what the problems there were. I would like to know if the concerns were reported to the fisheries management and just what the managements response was.

Situated Approximatly 1 Mile From Seaton Village,

Situated approximatly 1 Mile from Seaton Village, Co Durham, Sharperley Springs Trout Fishery has easy access from the A19 and A1M for anlers who wish to travel.It has five Fishing areas one being a bait only area. The remainder are fly only with the lakes further devided for catch and release,nymph only and a Kill only lake where all fish must be taken. Pricing is reasonable with a three fish ticket costing £18 a two fish ticket costing £15 and a sporting ticket £9. The first fish on a kill ticket must be taken however you can then catch and release untill you catch further specimens you wish to keep. There are other ticket combinations available and the staff member at the lodge was very helpful in explaining them and showing the layout of the lakes. The lakes are well kept and clear of rubbish with well placed fishing pegs. The stock range is from 1.5 lbs to some big double figure monsters which seem to spend their day just cruising the lake. The only downside is that there is no tackle shop at the lodge which I think would benefit the fishery. Toilet facilities are good as is access to the reservoirs. However disabled access could be better with some laid pathways to the different lakes.That said most areas by vitue of the fishery layout is fairly easily accessible. The fish I encountere were in good condition making for an excitin experience. All in all I can say I thououghly enjoyed my visit to the fishery and would reccomend it to my fishing colleagues
