HOT AGAIN

Beautiful day again but perhaps not the best day for fishing.

You will have to find some shaded parts of the river.

Saturday, May 30, 2009

SAME AGAIN

Another hot and sunny day and the river is running at a nice height.

Friday, May 29, 2009

HOT AND SUNNY

Looks like a day for looking for shade or in the fast runs as we are in for a hot, bright one.

River is still spot on.

Three day summer, woo who!

Thursday, May 28, 2009

GOOD AGAIN

The weather is overcast with some light rain at the moment and the river conditions are still spot on.

Wednesday, May 27, 2009

WET AND WINDY

The river conditions are still good but the weather is not ideal, because it is wet and quite breezy.

Tuesday, May 26, 2009

NORMAL LEVEL

The Eden has dropped to it's normal level and the weather is dry and overcast.

All good !!

Monday, May 25, 2009

SAME AGAIN

No further rain and the river's dropping back to a more normal level.

Just the wall to wall sunshine to contend with again. Never satisfied are we!!!

TRY SOMETHING SHADY?

A couple of hours yesterday found the river in good condition (and a couple of fish).

It's a bit higher than normal for this time of year and with a tinge of colour. The potential problem for today is the brightness.

Try something under trees?

GO FOR IT

Another dry day yesterday. The river should be just about right and the weather's currently overcast with almost no wind.

It doesn't get any better than that.

Friday, May 22, 2009

IMPROVING??

With less rain yesterday the river should be starting to get back to a fishable level.

The upper reaches could still be the best bet though.

Thursday, May 21, 2009

STILL UP

Same old story.

More rain, more water in the river. Bessybeck could be your best bet!!!!

Wednesday, May 20, 2009

MORE OF THE SAME

The river is likely to be unchanged from yesterday and it's currently adding more rain to the system.
As usual, the upper reaches offer the best chance unless you're into worm drowning!!

Tuesday, May 19, 2009

NO CHANGE

With more rain yesterday and overnight, the river is likely to be unchanged from yesterday.

The upper reaches offer your best chance.

Monday, May 18, 2009

MORE RAIN

With last nights rain and more falling now, the river is likely to rising.

If you really must fish try the upper stretches to give yourself a fighting chance.

HANDY INFO

These two websites may help in the planning of your days fishing.

The first is http://www.xcweather.co.uk/ , this gives wind direction and strength and is updated every 15 mins .
The next is http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/ which has a rainfall radar updated every 30 mins. To find the rainfall radar click on latest/recent on the right hand side of the page and the it should come up with the rainfall radar option. I think, if not just keep looking.

BRIGHT AND SUNNY

The river conditions are still good and the weather is good at the moment.

Saturday, May 16, 2009

GOOD CONDITIONS

The river is at a good fishable level and the weather is dry and sunny.

Very nice morning.

Friday, May 15, 2009

WINDY AND GOING TO BE WET

The Eden is running spot on but it is quite windy and there is a fair chunk of rain coming our way according to the met office.

Its up to you !!

Thursday, May 14, 2009

RUNNING WELL

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

Tuesday, May 12, 2009

NICE MORNING

The Eden is now back to its normal level, it is a bright and breezey morning with plenty of clouds about

Monday, May 11, 2009

AT LAST!!

It's a bright sunny morning with a nice breeze, the Eden has dropped considerably and although still a tad high, it's at quite a good level. Make the most of it!!

Sunday, May 10, 2009

DROPPING SLOWLY

The Eden is clearing and dropping but it may still be a bit higher downstream in the Musgrave/Warcop areas.

At the min the weather is dry and overcast and quite nice !!

Saturday, May 09, 2009

RAINING AGAIN

The Eden has started dropping and clearing but is still running quite high and there is more rain falling at the min, so i think it may rise again at some point.

POT LUCK !

Friday, May 08, 2009

STILL UP

Although the Eden has dropped slightly since yesterdays report, it is still up. It is not raining (at the moment!!) but it is quite windy

Thursday, May 07, 2009

SAME....YET AGAIN!

The Eden has risen even further following yesterdays rain, although quite bright at the moment it is still very breezey with the possibility of further showers

Wednesday, May 06, 2009

NO GOOD

The Eden is still up following yesterdays rain and is unfishable with a fly.

At the moment it's not raining but don't hold your breath.

Tuesday, May 05, 2009

STILL HIGH

The Eden is still running above normal and would be difficult for fly fishing but you may find areas upstream that are fishable.
The weather is dry and overcast but more rain is forecast.

Monday, May 04, 2009

FISHABLE....AT THE MOMENT

The river has dropped to a reasonable level but there has been more rain over night which could bring the level up and more rain is forecast for the rest of the day

Sunday, May 03, 2009

Up and coloured

Overnight rain has brought the river up again, leaving it mainly unfishable with a fly. You may find areas that are fishable but it will be difficult.

Saturday, May 02, 2009

UP SLIGHTLY

The Eden is running slightly above normal and could be difficult conditions downstream of the main tribs but fishable .

Friday, May 01, 2009

GOOD CONDITIONS

The river is running at a nice height and the weather is overcast, breezy and dry but it looks like rain is on the way.
