Current Fishing Weather
Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

Fishing Overview Stockton-on-Tees
Stockton-on-Tees sits on one of the most varied stretches of the River Tees, giving local anglers year-round options from urban match-style fishing to predator sport with pike and perch. The river through and around Stockton is a mix of tidal and non-tidal water, with deep, slow basins near town, steadier glides upstream, and estuary-influenced reaches downstream, each holding different species and demanding slightly different tactics.
From late autumn through early spring, silver fish dominate. Roach, skimmers and dace shoal tightly in the deeper, slower sections around the town centre, marina areas and downstream bends. Classic winter approaches are long-range groundbait feeder or cage feeder tactics with fine hooklengths and single maggot, double pinkie or small worm sections. Regular, accurate casting to a clipped-up line is crucial to build a tight bed of bait; bites often come in short spells when shoals move over the feed. On milder days, a 13 m pole with a light rig fished just off bottom in steadier edges can be devastatingly effective.
Spring sees increasing activity from perch and chub as water temperatures rise. Perch love man‑made structure along the Stockton riverfront, boat moorings, bridge pilings and any drowned timber in side channels. A simple running rig with a small worm or prawn, or a scaled-down dropshot with 2–3 inch soft plastics, picks out better perch that sit under cover. Chub patrol creases where faster water meets slower eddies; set up a stick float or bolo rig and run maggots or casters tight to the flow lanes, feeding little and often to draw fish up off the bottom.
In summer, the Tees around Stockton lends itself to mixed-bag pleasure sessions. Early and late in the day, travel light and rove between swims, concentrating on overhanging trees, reedbeds and any visible depth changes. Waggler fishing with maggots or casters will take roach, dace and small chub, while a switch to corn or soft pellets often singles out bream and better skimmers in the slower holes. On warm evenings, surface activity increases; a shallow waggler or even a freelined crust near cover can tempt bonus chub. Down towards the more tidal stretches, flounder and the odd school bass or migratory salmonid can show, particularly on flooding tides around channel edges and drop-offs.
Predator fishing peaks from late autumn through early spring, when baitfish shoal up. Pike are commonly targeted with deadbaits such as smelt, herring or roach sections fished on simple float-ledger rigs in the deeper, slack pockets adjacent to the main flow. Lure anglers do well working metal spoons, paddle-tail shads and jerkbaits along drop-offs, inside bends and moorings where prey fish congregate. Perch respond to smaller lures hopped slowly along the bottom; focus on vertical structure and any marinas or basins with slightly coloured water, which offers predators added confidence.
Stillwaters and ponds in and around Stockton-on-Tees offer alternative options, especially for carp, tench and crucians during the warmer months. Method feeders with micro pellets and mini boilies, or simple bomb and pellet rigs, score well when cast tight to far-bank features or island margins. On commercials, stepping down hook sizes and using slimmer pole floats can dramatically increase bites on pressured days. Whatever the venue, success in the Stockton area comes from reading the river or pool carefully, locating structure, and adjusting rigs and feeding patterns to match flow, clarity and season.

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 8 beaches and bays in this area.
Seaton Carew Beach - 13.28561400761km , Hartlepool Bay - 15.48851098856km , Redcar Beach - 16.47999941281km , Tees Bay - 17.30922502428km , Shippersea Bay - 25.83026811913km , Runswick Bay - 37.36169158388km , Whitburn Bay - 41.08519022436km , Whitby Beach - 44.35208837712km
Harbours and Marinas can often times be productive fishing spots for land based fishing as their sheltered environment attracts a wide variety of bait fish. Similar to river mouths, harbour entrances are also great places to fish as lots of fish will move in and out with the rising and falling tides. There are 4 main harbours in this area.
