Northumbria was one of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in England, named because it was to the north of the River Humber.
To acknowledge the remote independence of Northumbria and ensure England was properly defended from the Scots William gained the allegiance of both the Bishop of Durham and the Earl and confirmed their powers and privileges.
The remainder, to the north of the rivers became Tyne and Derwent, became Northumberland where the political powers of the Bishops of Durham were limited to only certain districts, and the earls continued to rule as clients of the English throne.

River Derwent does not hold many course fish in the first place and some course fish would even go for the fly.
As the rivers are currently closed to coarse anglers (or more to the point coarse angling), it is clear that these anglers have to be considered to be fishing illegally.
It's not about restricting anglers to one kind of bait, it's just about preventing one particular angling "faction" from being on the river during their own closed season (which most river coarse anglers seem to be fully in favour of, incidentally).
