Membership
Join a small club with exceptional river fishing
Darlington Fly Fishers Club is deliberately limited in size, giving members access to secluded fly-only fishing on the Rivers Tees and Greta.
About membership
Traditional fly fishing, without the crowds
Membership is traditionally limited to 40 rods. Members enjoy exclusive fishing for wild brown trout and grayling, with the possibility of migratory fish on the River Tees.
Our waters range from broad Tees pools and runs to the more intimate, tree-lined River Greta. The club has remained intentionally small since its formation in 1949, helping preserve both the character of the fishing and a friendly club atmosphere.
