There are probably many reasons, but two good ones are both related to the construction of the Tees Barrage at Stockton (downstream from Yarm) about 13 years ago.

At the site of the Barrage itself there is a purpose-built white-water rapids canoe / boating course.

Upstream from the Barrage was tidal prior to construction. Now, there is a constant (much deeper) level of water upstream to beyond Yarm: one of the consequences of that is a vast improvement of the river itself, and the local flora and fauna, with the resident fish (and angling!) showing massive improvements!
