END OF SEASON

Well this is it, it's the last day of the season. You will be glad to know that the Eden is running at a perfect level, but the weather is not so good, wet and breezy at the minute.

From myself and John we hope you have had a good season and please don't forget that the grayling fishing continues right into January and as you may have found out this year we have plenty of them in the river. All the best, Steve and John.

STILL GOOD

Another cool start this morning with continuing good river conditions.

GOOD CONDITIONS

A few spots of rain overnight will have had no effect on river levels.
Those having their last day today should find the river in pretty good nick. All it needs is the fish to be on form!!!

ANOTHER GOOD DAY?

No rain yesterday or overnight so the river should be OK for the last Saturday of the trout season (where did it go?).

The mist should burn off as the day warms up but it's cool at the minute - a typical Autumn morning.

COOL AND CLEAR

The river is still running at a good level and the weather is cool and sunny.

GOOD AGAIN

The river conditions are good and the weather is dry, cool with patchy cloud.

still good

The weather is crisp and calm, the river is still at a good level with good colour in it

COOL AND CLEAR

It's the coldest morning so far this autumn with a touch of frost here and there and the river is still running well.

GOOD CONDITIONS

The Eden is still running at a good level and the weather is dry and overcast.

ALL GOOD

The weather is very nice and the river conditions are still bob on. Hello norman !

NICE MORNING

The river conditions are still very good and the weather is very nice.

SAME AGAIN

The river conditions are good and the weather is dry and bright.

GOOD CONDITIONS

It's a beautiful, cool, crisp morning and it looks like the weather is going to be fairly good, plus the river is running at a nice level.

NO CHANGE AGAIN

The Eden seems unable to drop to a normal level at the min because the ground is so wet, but it is still fishable.The weather is overcast and damp.

NO CHANGE

The river conditions are unchanged, it is still running at a good level, but the water temp is quite cool. The weather is damp and overcast this morning.

GOOD CONDITIONS

The river has dropped and the weather is good, not much more to say.

GOOD ENOUGH

The Eden has dropped to a reasonable level with a bit of colour in it and the weather is dry,bright and crisp. Very nice morning.

CLUELESS

The Eden is doing something, not sure whether it's going up or coming down because it's doing it that often, but at the moment it's fishable in the upper reaches. Oh yes, it's raining again.

NOT BAD

The Eden is still dropping and is fishable even though it's still slightly above normal height. The weather is damp and overcast.

DROPPING

The river is still on it's way down, but it's dropped enough for a day on the river with a chance of better conditions on the upper reaches.

UP AGAIN

There was lots of rain yesterday and that brought the river up, so it's no good for fly.

REASONABLE CONDITIONS

The Eden is still dropping, but has cleared quite a bit and will be fishable on all stretches .The weather is dry and overcast.

DROPPING SLOWLY

The Eden is still a beer colour and running quite high. I would say that the upper reaches are the only chance of a days fishing with the fly, but things change quickly up here.

NO GOOD

Still bloody raining , so as a consequence the Eden is still to high and will stay that way for the next 12hrs or so.

FLOODED

Not a lot to say really FLOODED and MUCKY. No good.

REASONABLE

The Eden is dropping slowly and should be fishable in the upper reaches, but be quick because the weather is FORECAST (probably wrong again) to get quite bad this afternoon. At the moment the weather is dry and sunny.

TOO HIGH

The Eden is dropping slowly after yesterdays heavy rain, but is still unfishable with a fly.

NO GOOD

All the showers yesterday have topped up the Eden and it is unfishable with a fly.

WET MORNING

The river conditions are still good and the weather is showery and wet.

STILL GOOD

Yesterdays monsoon never appeared (what a shock) so the river is still running at a nice level and the weather is overcast and dry.

SAME AGAIN

The river is still running at a nice level and the weather is dry and overcast. No monsoons yet !!

DULL AND GREY

It's a dull, overcast morning, but dry. The Eden is still running at a good level with a tinge of colour in it. Looks good to me !!

GOOD AT LAST

It's took a few days to drop to a good level, but it has now and the weather is dry and overcast. Chop chop !!

DROPPING

The Eden is still above normal level and quite coloured, but will be fishable in the upper reaches and here and there down stream. The weather is dry and overcast.

STILL HIGH

All the water is taking a long time to drop off, which leaves the river in a unfishable/difficult conditions area. You may get some joy on the upper reaches, but not on the lower areas. The weather is damp and cloudy.

NO GOOD

All yesterdays rain brought up the river and has left it unfishable with fly. The weather is wet and miserable this morning.

WET AND BREEZY

Not a very nice morning here, raining at the min, but think it's going to clear up later. The river is still running well.

GOOD AGAIN

If anything the conditions are a bit better than yesterday, because it's a cloudy day today and the river is still running at a perfect level. Chop Chop !!!!

NO EXCUSES

The weather is dry and bright with some patchy cloud and the Eden is running at a near perfect level. So make your butties and your flask and get a move on !!! Chop Chop !!

LOOKING PROMISING

With nothing more than the odd shower yesterday, the river should be in decent condition. The forecast for the day is also pretty good.

Now's your chance.

IMPROVING

With little rain over the last 24 hours the river should be getting back to something like fishable. As usual, the upper reaches will clear first.

'NORMAL' SUMMER CONDITIONS

After the rain of the last couple of days, the river is likely to be up and coloured. Any chance of fishing will be at the top of the river.

WET MORNING

The Eden has risen overnight and is unfishable this morning with a fly, plus it's still raining now so i could come up some more yet.

REASONABLE

The Eden has dropped to a good level at kirkby stephen and will be ok upstream of here, but it may be slightly higher downstream of kirkby . The weather is breezy and wet at times.

UP AGAIN

Looks like the Eden has been up all the time while i have been away and unfortunately today is no different. Not sure whether it's coming up or going down, but it's to high for fishing with fly.

A GOOD DAY?

The river (at Franks Bridge) was fining down and carrying just a tinge of colour yesterday afternoon. More importantly, there were rising fish.

With no overnight rain the river should be about right for today.

However, get there quick - there's more rain forecast.

STILL HARD GOING

The river was still high and carrying a lot of colour at Appleby yesterday afternoon. However, further upstream (where it matters) the river should be starting to clear and fall.
As usual, the upper reaches will be the first to come good.

STILL HIGH

At dusk last night the river was still up and carrying a lot of colour. Although there's been little overnight rain (at Ormside), the river will not have changed much.

Only the upper reaches may offer a slight chance of fishing.

STILL RAINING

It seems like this year is rapidly turning into a repeat of 2007. The odd dry spell then it rains and forgets how to stop.

Over half an inch of rain has fallen since yesterday morning on top of already saturated land. If you're really desperate to fish, the upper reaches will be the best bet. Unless drowning worms is your thing.

STILL HIGH

With little rain falling yesterday and overnight the river should be starting to drop back. However, the rain forecast for today has already started, and prospects for the day aren't looking good.
Work or indoor sports look like the best option.

MORE RAIN

The river was high and coloured yesterday afternoon. Since then the heavy showers have continued overnight.
Today is likely to show no improvement on yesterdays river conditions and more rain is forecast.
It looks like another day to earn the brownie points (or chase rainbows).

MORE RAIN

With quite a bit of rain yesterday and overnight the river is likely to be up and coloured. Any chance of fishing today will be at the top of the river (and it's a slim chance).

GET THERE EARLY

Due to a slight technical hitch, this weeks reports are being done by me. With that in mind, please be aware that they may not be as accurate as Steves.

While the river was falling back to a good level yesterday, after the rain of Wednesday & Thursday, the rain that’s forecast for today is likely to make a further impact on the river. If you can get there before it gets into the river, conditions should be OK. However, if the weathermen have got it right (and the rain has already started), by the end of the day the river is likely to be up and coloured again.

If you’re wanting to chance it, above the Belah confluence will probably be the best bet.

GOOD CONDITIONS

The river is running at a good level with a bit of colour in the water and the weather is dry and cloudy.

ABOVE NORMAL

The Eden was dropping yesterday, but there has been plenty of rain overnight and it has risen a bit, but is still fishable. This may change as the day goes on and i can't be sure which way it will go.

GOOD CONDITIONS

It's a damp wet morning and the river level is just about spot on.

DROPPING

The river is still above it's normal level and beer coloured, but fishable. The weather is dry with clear skies.

NOT IDEAL

The Eden is still dropping and will be fishable in areas, but could rise again because there has been more rain overnight and it's raining now.

DIFFICULT CONDITIONS

The Eden is dropping , but very slowly and is still fairly high . The upper reaches could be the best bet. The weather is dry with sunny spells and patchy cloud.

TOO HIGH

The Eden has still not dropped and is too high for fly fishing.

NO GOOD

A lot of rain has fallen in the last 24hrs and now it's found it's way into the Eden and is now rising and choccy brown. You will have to go to work !!

GOOD CONDITIONS

The Eden is still at a reasonable height and the weather is dry and overcast with some bright spells.

GOOD CONDITIONS

It's a slightly fresher morning with patchy cloud and the river conditions are unchanged.

SAME AGAIN

The Eden is still at a normal summer level and the weather is dry and cloudy.

ANOTHER HOT ONE

Looks like were in for another hot and bright day, not great for fishing, but the river level is still normal for the time of year.

WARM AND OVERCAST

The Eden is still running at a nice level and the weather at the moment is cloudy, but warm and sticky.

NO CHANGE

The river conditions are as they were, good and the weather is dry, overcast and very warm.

HOT AND SUNNY

The river is still running at a nice level and the it looks like its going to be hot. A day to find some shade i would say or fast runs or the pub.

DRY AND CLOUDY

The Eden is still running at a nice level and the weather is dry, warm and cloudy.

STILL GOOD

The weather is dry and overcast and the river conditions are still good.

STILL GOOD

The river conditions are still very good and the weather is dry and overcast.

GOOD CONDITIONS

The Eden is running at a nice level and the weather is dry and bright at the min.

DROPPING

The Eden rose a few inches yesterday and is dropping now to a good fishable level with a beer colour to the water. The weather is dry and overcast.

REASONABLE CONDITIONS

The Eden level is up on yesterday and is still fishable, but plenty of rain has fallen and the levels may change quickly. What i'm saying basically is, i haven't got a clue what the river is going to do.

NO CHANGE

Another wet and cloudy morning and the river conditions are still spot on.

WET MORNING

The river conditions are still good and the weather is damp and overcast.

STILL GOOD

The Eden is running at a nice level and the weather is dry at the moment with patchy cloud.

NO CHANGE

It's a breezy and overcast morning and the river conditions are still at a nice level with a bit of colour in the water.

GOOD CONDITIONS

The river is dropping off now to a good level with a tinge of colour in it and the weather is dry and overcast.

REASONABLE

The Eden is still a bit beer coloured and is still dropping, but it is fishable, probably the upper reaches are the best bet. The weather is dry with some patchy cloud.

STILL HIGH

The Eden is still high and beer coloured and no good for fly fishing. The weather is still pretty bad as well, rain and rain. Go to the pub .

UNFISHABLE

It's another wet and miserable morning and its still raining now. Because of all this rain the Eden hasn't dropped and is still too high for fly fishing.

NO GOOD

There has been a lot a rain in the last 12 hrs and the result is that the Eden is unfishable with a fly. The weather is wet and windy.

GOOD LEVEL

The Eden is still dropping back, but is at a fishable level with a tinge of colour in it. The weather is dry and sunny.

STILL DROPPING

The Eden is still quite high for fly fishing, but the upper stretches should be better. The weather and damp and cloudy.

RAINING

The river conditions are above normal and would be difficult conditions for fly fishing, plus i would expect the river to rise again because it's raining quite heavy now.

DROPPING

The river rose yesterday after all the rain and is slowly dropping off now and will be fishable in the upper reaches. It's raining at the min and looks like there is plenty more to come. Sorry for no blog yesterday, technical problem, forgot !!

STILL GOOD

It's an overcast, dry morning and the river conditions are still very good.

NO CHANGE

The river conditions are spot on with a slight tinge of colour in it and the weather is dry with patchy cloud.

GOOD CONDITIONS

The Eden has risen a few inches after last nights heavy rain, but is still fishable and clear. The weather is dry and sunny at the min.

BRIGHT AND SUNNY

The Eden is still running at a good level and it is nice and clear. The weather is dry and warm with sunny spells.

GOOD CONDITIONS

The Eden is running clear at a good height and the weather is dry and bright with some patchy cloud.

ANOTHER DECENT DAY

With little rain over the last 24 hours the river should be in pretty good condition.

The weather's currently overcast and breezy.

WORTH A LOOK?

Apologies for the late report (due to a slight communication breakdown).

The river was fining down nicely yesterday afternoon after the recent rain. There's less than 1mm in my rain gauge this morning so, unless there's been any more substantial rain further up the valley, the river should be in pretty good condition for today.

Overcast with a slight breeze at the minute.

BRIGHT MORNING

It's a sunny, cool morning up here and the river is dropping after rising yesterday afternoon. The river will be fishable in the upper reaches, but could be a bit more difficult in the lower reaches.

WET AND WINDY

The river is still running clear and at a good level and the weather is wet at the min and breezy.

GOOD CONDITIONS

The river has dropped to a nice level and the weather is dry and breezy with patchy cloud.

REASONABLE CONDITIONS

The Eden is taking a long time to run down to a nice level, but it will be fishable in areas especially the upper reaches. The weather is dry and overcast.

NO GOOD

All yesterdays rain is still feeding down through the Eden and it has left it to high for fly fishing, but if drowning worms is your thing ,it's a good height.

INDOOR SPORTS?

It looks like the monsoon season has started!!!

After yesterdays almost constant rain and the blustery showers so far this morning, the river is unlikely to be the nicest place to be today.

It's a day for earning brownie points.

GOOD CONDITIONS

The Eden is running at a perfect height and the weather is dry and overcast, but quite warm.
So make your sandwiches and flask and get yourself down to the river and forget about all the depressing #### on the news !!

STILL DROPPING

The Eden is still dropping after yesterdays flood, but at kirkby Stephen and above to pendragon is fishable. Below down towards musgrave may be a bit higher, because several becks feed in down there. The weather is dry, breezy with sunny spells.

SORRY

Sorry for the last few blogs not appearing. Finally something to say and the blogger starts playing up. You will probably have noticed that all the missing blogs have appeared now.
Sorry if this has messed your fishing up, hopefully it will work in the morning. Steve.

DROPPING

The Eden is dropping now after the rain of the last 36 hrs and should be in reasonable condition by tomorrow. There will be another report in the morning, if the bloody blog works !!

RAIN AT LAST

Can you imagine how p'd off Steve is now that there's something different to write and his PC is playing up?

The rain of the last 36 hours or so has reached the river and made an impact. A text from Steve at 3:30 this morning said that the river was too high to fish (with fly). With more showers forecast for today there's unlikely to be any change before tomorrow at the earliest.

RAIN AT LAST

Can you imagine how p'd off Steve is that, now that there's something to write, his PC is playing up?

The rain of the last 36 hours or so has reached the river and made an impact. A text message from Steve at 3:30am said that the river was too high to fish (with fly). With more showers forecast it's unlikely to change much before tomorrow.

RIVER RISING

This report is for Wednesday night and Thursday. The river level is very good and fishable at the min, but obviously if the rain keeps falling it may get to high for a day on the river. At the moment it is still raining and looks like there is plenty to come.

Sorry for no report this morning , the blog didn't publish.

WET AND WINDY

There has been a fair bit of rain overnight and it has put a bit of freshwater in the Eden and coloured the water slightly, but the level has hardly changed.
It's not raining at the moment.

NO CHANGE

The eden is still running low and the weather is dry and cloudy.

DRY AND SUNNY

Another dry and sunny morning and the river is running low.

SAME AGAIN

The eden is still running low and the weather is dry and cloudy, with showers forecast. Just for your information, the river may be running low, but if your willing to do a bit of crawling and creeping the trout are still being caught. Somebody got 13 the other day !! No it wasn't me !

OVERCAST

It's a cloudy, dry morning and the river is still very low.

RAINING

It's raining at the min, but don't get to excited the river level is still low.

SAME AGAIN

It's a cloudy, dry morning and slightly cooler than of late, but the river is still running at a very low level for this time of year.

DRY AND SUNNY

Another bright, dry day and the eden is still running low and clear.

NO CHANGE

The weather is dry, sunny and quite warm and the river is still running low and clear.

STILL THE SAME

The eden is still running low and the weather is overcast and dry.

SAME AGAIN

The river is running low and the weather is dry and sunny.

NO CHANGE

The weather is dry with sunny spells and the river is still running low.

SUNNY AND DRY

Yesterdays rain has put a bit of fresh water in the river, but the level has hardly moved.

WET AND CALM

There has been a fair bit of rain overnight and it looks like there is more to come and it's still raining now. The river is still unaffected by this so far and is still low.

SAME AGAIN

The weather is dry and cloudy and the river conditions are still the same.

HHHHMMMMM !!!!

Yes i am writing the same thing again. River low, weather dry, fishing good . Think i will start putting in random words to try and brighten it up. HAEMOGLOBIN !!!

NO CHANGE

The eden is still running at a low level, but fishing well and the weather is dry and overcast.

SAME AGAIN

There has been a bit more rain overnight, but river levels are still the same and the weather is overcast and dry.

OVERCAST AND DRY

The rain yesterday hasn't affected the river level, which is still low and the weather is dry and cloudy, but warm.

IT'S RAINING

At last it is finally raining, but it's going to take a lot to change the river level which is still low, but it's a start.

OVERCAST

The conditions are still low and no rain and wind is coming from the east and it's quite strong .

NO CHANGE

Another dry but breezy day. Time to brush up on the stalking skills.

MORE OF THE SAME

With no rain and no change in wind direction (or strength) fishing conditions are unlikely to be any different to recent.

ANOTHER TESTER

With no rain (and none forecast until midweek) and the wind still in the East, it looks like today will be another hard one. However, there are still fish to be had if you're careful.

AND AGAIN !!!

Still no rain , so the river is still running below normal and the weather is dry and overcast.

CLOUDY AND COOL

The river conditions are still the same and the weather is cloudy, cool and quite breezy.

NO CHANGE

The river conditions are still below normal for the time of year and the weather is dry and bright.

SAME AGAIN

The river is still running slightly below normal height for this time of year and the weather is sunny and cool.

SUNNY AND CLEAR

The river is still running at a summer level and the weather is dry and sunny.

BELOW NORMAL

The river level is still good , but some would say that it's low for this time of year, but this river fishes well at these levels you just have to be careful and commando about a bit. The weather is dry with sunny spells.

NOT TO BAD

It's a cloudy dry morning here and the river conditions are good considering it hasn't rained properly here for a few weeks.

CLOUDY AND DRY

Repeating myself now !! The eden is running at a normalish height and the weather is cloudy and dry at the moment.

GOOD CONDITIONS

The weather has become a bit cooler with a easterly breeze and the river conditions are still ok.

COOLING DOWN

There is still no change in the river conditions. The weather is dry and bright , but cooler than it has been recently.

NO CHANGE

The weather is dry with patchy cloud, but still warm and the river conditions are still good.

HOT DAY

The conditions are the same as the last few days and the weather looks like it's going to be hot again.

SAME AGAIN

Another hot day and the river conditions are still good.

GOOD CONDITIONS

The river conditions are the same as the last few days, good . It looks like another warm/hot day in store, because it's warm already with hazy sunshine.

DRY AND SUNNY

Apparently there are some showers on the way, but at the moment the weather is dry and sunny and the eden is running at it's normal height.

SAME AGAIN

It's going to be another hot day and the river is running well.

HOT AND SUNNY

The river conditions are still good and it looks like it's going to be sunny and hot. I would look for shade, either trees on the river bank or trees in a field for a kip !!

DRY AND WARM

The sky is clear and it's quite warm already and the eden is running spot on.

SPRING AT LAST?

Although yesterday saw almost constant drizzle it's unlikely to have had much effect on river levels. To add to that, the temperature's been considerably higher over the last few days and it's forecast to get warmer over the coming week.
Perhaps we may now start to get the consistent top of the water sport that we're used to at this time of year.

STILL GOOD

It's a dry morning with patchy cloud and some sunny spells and the eden is running well.

GOOD CONDITIONS

The eden is running at a good level and the weather is dry and cloudy. No excuses !!!

DROPPING

The eden rose again yesterday, but has now dropped to a fishable level with a tinge of colour in the water. The weather is very nice at the min, sunny with a clear sky.

DROPPING SLOWLY

The eden rose yesterday and is still dropping slowly back to its normal level. It is fishable in places, but it is still beer coloured and could rise again if there is some more rain.The weather is dry and cloudy and the min.

HORRIBLE MORNING !!

It's wet and windy and not very nice out there. The river conditions are ok at the min, but i would expect the river level to rise as the day goes on. Just stay at home.

DROPPING

The eden came up quite a lot yesterday afternoon, but has dropped now to a fishable level up here at kirkby with a bit of colour in it.
All this could change with a few more heavy showers, but its dry at the min and quite bright.

WET MORNING

It's raining at the moment with more to come. The rain has found it's way into the eden and it has risen 2 to 3 inches with a tinge of colour in it, but still fishable. Obviously all this could change as the day goes on and there could be more water in below the larger tributaries.

NO CHANGE

Yesterdays rain didn't affect the river level and the weather is cloudy with some light rain at the min.

GOOD CONDITIONS

The small amounts of rain have not affected the river levels, which are still good. The weather is quite nice at the min, bright and cloudy. For an up to date eye on what the weather is doing here, click on the weather forecast link on the home page and click on latest/recent past on the right hand side of the met office page and then click on rainfall radar.

COOL AND DRY

Its a bit chilly here this morning , but dry at the min. The river conditions are still good, running at an average height for this time of year.

NO CHANGE

There has been no change in the river conditions which are still good and the weather is dry with patchy cloud.

STILL THE SAME

As john has pointed out the river level has not changed for a few days and is still the same as before. But it did warm up yesterday, as john asked, so hopefully he will ask the same again today !! At the moment the weather is dry and overcast.

LITTLE CHANGE

Another day of little or no rain yesterday and there's unlikely to be any change in river conditions. However, it would be nice if it started to warm up a little!!!

ANOTHER DRY DAY

With no overnight rain the river should be unchanged from yesterday. However, there's still a cold breeze so it's worth seeking out the sheltered spots.

NO CHANGE

Another cold day with a fair easterly breeze is likely to make fishing pretty uncomfortable.
The river level/colour is unlikely to have changed since yesterday.

Little change

Some overnight rain has not really changed things. The river is still running at a good fishable level. The sun is breaking through with the promise of bright day.

River remains at a good level

River still at a good level for fishing. Rain likely to hold off. Cumbria has enjoyed an extended run of bright sunny weather recently which is likely to show itself once again today. Intermitent showers have not really put too much of a damper on things.

Conditions still good

The river is up a little following some rain. However once again the sun is breaking through and conditions look good. April showers can be expected.

River low and clear

No change - river still low and clear and very fishable. Although there was an overnight frost the sun is out and there is a prospect of sunny spells before predicted showers later this afternoon. No wind. Cold.

River good. Skies overcast

Once again the river is low and clear. Very fishable. The weather is cloudy at present but the sun is trying to break through. Cold as usual.

Clear river, hazy sunshine

Hazy sunshine is clearing a light overnight frost. The river is still running clear at a nice level for fishing. The picture shows how the river looked last night.

Nice river but cold weather

The river is running at a nice level. It is clear and very fishable. The weather is overcast with the sun breaking through periodically. The temperature remains cold.

River up but fishable

The river is a little higher than yesterday but it is clear and quite fishable. The weather is a diferent matter. Sun, cloud, showers and possible snow are all forecast. Whatever the weather throws at us today it will remain cold.

OK for early season

The river is quite fishable. Anyone prepared to fish in wintry conditions should find conditions quite OK. Rain is forecast for later in the day.

Appealing but cold

The river is again at a superb level for fishing. Everything looks very attractive with blue skies and sunshine. But it is very cold out there and rain is forecast for later in the day.

Snow

The river is running at a nice clear level for fishing but the weather is very very cold. The banks are white from overnight snow.

Blue skies and sunshine

It is beautiful day at the time of posting. Blue skies and sunshine prevail. It is tempting to be outdoors. A light snow fall occured overnight reminding us that wintry conditions still persist around here but the river is running at a good fishing level. If you like early season fishing today would be a good day to be out - until the weather takes a turn for the worse.

A RETURN TO WINTER

There's a dusting of fresh snow on the Pennines this morning.
Although the river level should not have changed much (yet) wintry showers are forecast, getting heavier and more prolonged as the day goes on.
While there's still the chance of a fish, it may not be the most comfortable experience.

GRAB IT WHILE YOU CAN

The river was looking good yesterday afternoon (although there wasn't much sign of fish or fly). There's been no overnight rain so today should be OK.
If you can get to the river today do it - the forecast is for a return to winter over the week end.

CHANCE OF A FISH?

While Steve's having PC problems this may not be quite as acccurate as normal.

The weather's currently overcast but dry & the forecast for today isn't too bad.

With little rain yesterday and overnight, the river should be getting something like fishable.
The higher reaches may offer the best chance again.

UP & COLOURED

The rain of the last couple of days has put river out again.
The best chance of a fish is at the top of the river or chasing rainbows at Bessybeck.

WET MORNING

There has been plenty of rain overnight and the eden is rising . I would expect the conditions to get worse before they get better. It's still raining at the moment.

FISHABLE

The eden has dropped and is running clear, but is still running above normal and may be a bit higher downstream of the river belah. The weather is dry and overcast.

NO GOOD

The eden rose again yesterday and is still to high for fly fishing, plus the weather is not so good either, showers and breezy.

RIVER DROPPING

As mentioned yesterday the eden was rising and got quite high. It has dropped now to a level where it will be fishable in areas upstream of the main tributaries. The weather is dry at the min with patchy cloud.

WET AND WINDY

Its very windy and raining here this morning, plus the river level is creeping up. Stay at home !

GOOD CONDITIONS

It's a damp, overcast morning, but the rain that has fallen in the last few hours has not affected the river level which is still good.

NO CHANGE

It's a overcast, cool morning with a few flakes of snow falling and the eden is still running well.

COOL MORNING

The river is still running at a nice level and the weather is cool and dry.

GOOD CONDITIONS

Most of yesterdays snow has melted at lower levels and the river conditions are clear and a normal height, but the water is very cold. The weather is dry with patchy cloud.

SNOW

While I was mad enough to have a couple of hours in the river yesterday afternoon (and add another 2 fish to the seasons tally), looking at the amount of snow in the garden (about 4 inches), I suspect that I'd struggle to get there today.

If you haven't got 4 wheel drive forget it. If you have you're probably on a loser anyway.

Todays the day to start filling your fly fly box if you haven't already done so.

SNOW

There has been a covering of snow overnight with more snow showers forecast for today. None of this has affected the river conditions, which are still good.

COOL AND BREEZY

The river is still running clear and at a normal height. The weather is quite cool, but dry with a strong northerly breeze.

WET MORNING

There has been some rain overnight, but don't think it will affect river levels much, which are still good.

GOOD CONDITIONS

Cool, dry morning and the eden is still running clear at a normal height.

CLOUDY AND DRY

The forecast frost has never materialised, but it is still quite cool. The river conditions are still good.

STILL GOOD

sorry for no blog this morning, due to technical difficulties! River conditions for today were fine and due to the fact that there is no rain forecast tomorrows conditions will be good as well....but cold.

CONDITIONS STILL GOOD

The river conditions are like yesterday, good. But the weather has different ideas, because it's raining and quite breezy, but you can always find a sheltered spot.
Just a word of warning that the fire brigade are doing an river rescue exercise this morning at musgrave bridge from 10am till about 12 midday.

NEW SEASON

Welcome to a new season on the Upper Eden, you'll be pleased to know that the river is running clear and at a good level. The weather is overcast and drizzley. Thanks to everyone who turned up at the AGM last night it was very successful and productive.
