Durham City Angling Club is one of the fastest growing clubs in the North East of England with waters to satisfy all freshwater anglers’ needs. The Brasside complex caters for all types of stillwater coarse fishing. Record match weights to a little under 90 lbs were taken from the East water in 2006 and pleasure anglers were delighted with full nets of mixed catches, whilst the West water continued to produce specimens with carp to 26 lb. Pike anglers have recently taken an interest during the winter months with fish to mid teens being taken.
A ‘canal’ type match water has been built and work to provide access for disabled members is on-going. Eventually, Brasside will be the envy of every club in the region.
The complex also incorporates a wetland area created to encourage the already flourishing wildlife to be found at the site.

The Clubs running waters on the river Wear were fishing exceptionally well towards the end of the 2006/7 season with mixed dace/chub catches to 80 lbs being taken. The rivers chub and barbel continue to grow and there never has been a better time to take a P.B. specimen, and a record dace is always a possibility, and not only as is generally thought from a small section of the river by the County hotel; big dace are being taken from all D.C.A.C. sections of the Wear. Big roach have also featured in matches with several fish over 2.5lb helping to swell the weights.

The game angler is catered for with big sea trout running the river, the occasional salmon, brown trout and grayling. The Environment Agency has recently stocked several sections of the river Browney with grayling which in time should improve the Wears population of this lovely looking ‘lady of the stream’.
