Welcome to Reeltime Fishing and Leisure

Join us for the perfect Northumbrian experience

At Reeltime Fishing and Leisure we aim to give you a practical and enjoyable experience through our individual and unique approach to fishing and fishing tuition and guided riverside walks.

Our emphasis is on providing high quality fishing in beautiful and exquisite surroundings for beginners and discerning anglers. All are welcome: children, ladies and experienced fishermen alike.

Located in the beautiful Tyne Valley, near Corbridge in Northumberland, we have access to some of the best salmon and trout fishing in England. We specialise in organising fishing for salmon, sea trout and trout, for individuals and for small groups.

We provide fishing for salmon, sea trout and trout on exclusive stretches of the River Tyne and private lakes. Our services include: a full Ghillie Service, Corporate Fishing Days, Fishing Lessons and Casting Tuition.

We also organise Community Angling Days designed to give an understanding of fishing and instruction to interested groups. Our Guided Riverside Walks give an interesting insight and an educational experience, seeing at first hand the ecology and wildlife of the riverside and life underwater.
