Fishing a spate river.

I am watching the river Wear riseing on the webcam sited at the wear at Durham City.
For me thats the start of the Autumn migratory fishing.
I was wondering if there was many members on here that will be out on our local rivers either spinning or fly fishing.
I like to stick with the fly rod ,simply because its been my most popular method to catch fish on.
Ive learnt that i can get away with fishing with a Bibio and a Peter Ross on my cast what flies do you use.? 

Not yet- I think it will be tomorrow before any of them are fishable.
My usual spot is 4ft up this morning- write off.
I will be out at 4am tomorrow though.
You can't afford to miss these narrow windows of opportunity.

So what's the river like at Eastgate?

About 30cm above Summer level... Spinning conditions.

I used to watch the fish at Eastgate on a Sunday morning when i used to collect mushrooms up Teesdale.
Saw a fellow get a nice Sea-Trout upstream from the Gauge Hut near to the bungalow that sits near the railway line. The fellow caught it on a home made irish quill minnow spinner.

So nothing to worry about.
