I've seen mention of the Tees as three sections, lower, middle and upper.
As a sort of rough guide, where are the boundaries for these three sections?
Also, are all fish found in all sections or would I pick certain sections to target certain species
to give me my best opportunities of catching any particular fish?
John.

Certainly opened a minefield with that question.
Anglers l know all have different ideas as to lower middle and upper.
Me l would classify the rivers as.
Lower being from the once top of were the tidal influence went. Which is the upstream end of the Worsal meander down to Stockton.
A huge piece of river.
Middle from Worsal up to Gainford again a a huge piece of river.
Upper from Gainford up to above Barnard Castle.
The further up river you go the species present decline.
Lower has everything.
Middle has everything up to Broken Scar. Above it's mainly trout grayling and chub up to Gainford.
Above Gainford mainly trout and grayling.
to Gainford

I haven't seen or heard of the seal since it was spotted outside my house - Dinsdale - I heard it had gone a bit higher up but no new reports - I will post if I get anymore info or if I see it

It has been reported to the EA and surprise surprise they have said they is nothing they can do, hopefully it's as jim suggested in another post, that its followed the run of salmon up and while theres still plenty of water in the rivers it will make it's way back down to the estuary, they've been coming up as far as worsall and Jackson's for years now, I've seen then numerous times up there each season, if it doesnt get back down likelihood is it will die of malnutrition, chub and barbel or any coarse fish cant sustain a seal, no matter how many it eats, they dont contain the oils and nutrients that sea fish or salmon do, and that's what a seal needs to survive, it's one of the reasons the topcliffe seal died, when they did the autopsy on it, it was found to be starving to death for that very reason 😉

Did the EA eventually catch the seal?

The tees in my mind is unique cause due to its size it's hardly fished , I know there will be areas and swims that will have real surprises in them , its great river and I'm joining this year after two year break
