Thursday, September 30, 2010

DROPPING SLOWLY

Its a very cool start this morning for the last day of the trout season but looks like its going to be a nice day.

The Eden is dropping and will be fishable in areas, mainly upstream of KS.

Wednesday, September 29, 2010

WET MORNING

It's not a very nice start today, it's persisting down.

At the moment the river is in a good state but I would expect it to rise later in the day.

Tuesday, September 28, 2010

GOOD AGAIN

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

Monday, September 27, 2010

ALL GOOD

Its a cool overcast start and the Eden is in good condition for a day on the river.

Sunday, September 26, 2010

GOOD CONDITIONS

The Eden is still slightly above normal but fishable.

The weather is cool and overcast.

Saturday, September 25, 2010

DROPPING

As you can see on the cam the river is on its way down and it will be fishable in areas, probably the conditions will be better upstream of KS.

Friday, September 24, 2010

SAME AGAIN

The Eden still remains at a slightly higher level and does not appear to have dropped since yesterday.

Thursday, September 23, 2010

SLIGHTY UP

Last nights rain has brought the Edens water level up and more rain has been forecast today.

Tuesday, September 21, 2010

DROPPING

The Eden is still dropping and will be fishable in areas ,upstream of KS mainly.

The weather is dry and cool.

Monday, September 20, 2010

NO GOOD

There has been some more rain overnight and its still raining now. As you can see on the web cam the level is up and will probably stay high all day.

Sunday, September 19, 2010

GUESS WORK

Looks like the Eden has come up a Little bit overnight and some rain has fallen as well. So your guess is as good as mine regarding the river. Look at the web cam and river gauge @ Musgrave.

River Cam goes live on the Eden

KSDAA launched the first web cam (River Cam) on the Eden on 15.09.10. Anglers can now view the river live over the web. The River Cam together with the Daily Blog now give anglers the best chance of assessing fishing prospects before travelling. Full details and a link to the River Cam can be found on our website (kirkbystephen.net)

Saturday, September 18, 2010

ALL GOOD

As you can see from the web cam pic the river is good to go.

Friday, September 17, 2010

STILL GOOD

The level has dropped at KS and is slightly above normal and it looks like we are in for a nice day.

Thursday, September 16, 2010

DROPPING

The river is dropping off now but still has a tinge of colour in it.

So you have a frame of reference for the web cam pic the current level is 2-3 " above what I would class as normal at KS.

Wednesday, September 15, 2010

River Cam goes live on the Eden

KSDAA launched the first web cam (River Cam) on the Eden today. Anglers can now view the river live over the web. The River Cam together with the Daily Blog now give anglers the best chance of assessing fishing prospects before travelling. Full details and a link to the River Cam can be found on our website (kirkbystephen.net)

UP AND DOWN

The Eden is going up and down all the time at the min and I can't keep track of it.
It appears to be dropping at the min but the fishing conditions are not good and the weather is wet and breezy.

Tuesday, September 14, 2010

DROPPING

The Eden is on its way down again but is not in good condition for fly fishing, there may be the odd bit upstream of KS that is OK but it will be a struggle, plus its still raining.

Monday, September 13, 2010

Lost Property

Foldable landing net found on the bank below the weir at Musgrave. To claim, ring 07864863843.

OK CONDITIONS

The river is a bit 'up and down' at the min but is fishable in areas.

The weather is breezy and overcast.

Sunday, September 12, 2010

DROPPING

The Eden is dropping back to normal and should be fishable in areas.

The weather is dry and overcast.

Saturday, September 11, 2010

NO GOOD

There has been a lot of rain overnight and as a consequence the Eden is up and coloured and unfishable.

Friday, September 10, 2010

RAINING

It's a bit of a wet start this morning with some rain about but the river is still at it's normal height.

Thursday, September 09, 2010

ALL GOOD

Weather good, river good, GO !!

Wednesday, September 08, 2010

NO CHANGE

It's a dry, cool start and the river is still running at a normal level.

Tuesday, September 07, 2010

STILL GOOD

Plenty of rain has fallen overnight but the river level is still good .

Monday, September 06, 2010

GOOD AGAIN

The river conditions are still good but there is a lot of tree debris in the river because of the very high winds we had overnight.
The weather at the moment is dry and breezy.

Sunday, September 05, 2010

OVERCAST AND DRY

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

Saturday, September 04, 2010

NO CHANGE

The Eden is still running at a nice level and the weather is dry and sunny.

Friday, September 03, 2010

Catch Returns

There are now over 150 catch returns posted on our website for this season. This is a really useful resource for all who fish our waters. Thanks to all who have sent in returns.

SAME AGAIN

Its another cool, clear start and the Eden is still good.

Thursday, September 02, 2010

NO CHANGE

A misty and cool start this morning and good river conditions.

Wednesday, September 01, 2010

COOL AND CLEAR

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

Tuesday, August 31, 2010

The river conditions are unchanged, still good but its a very cool start this morning.

Monday, August 30, 2010

GOOD AGAIN

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

Sunday, August 29, 2010

WET START

There has been a bit of rain overnight but the Eden is still running at a normal level.

Saturday, August 28, 2010

GOOD AGAIN

Bit of showery rain about and the river is spot on.

Friday, August 27, 2010

COLD START AGAIN

The Eden is running spot on and the temperature is noticeably cool with clear skies.

Thursday, August 26, 2010

COOL AND CLEAR

Its surprisingly cool this morning but at least its dry. The Eden is running at a normal height and looks good.

Wednesday, August 25, 2010

DROPPING

The Eden is dropping again but is still a bit higher than the norm with a tinge of brown colour to it. The weather is dry and overcast at the moment.

Tuesday, August 24, 2010

UP A BIT

There was a fair bit of rain yesterday and it has brought up the river level a bit but it is still fishable in areas.

Monday, August 23, 2010

GOOD CONDITIONS

The river has dropped nicely and the weather is dry and overcast.

Sunday, August 22, 2010

DROPPING FAST

The Eden is fishable in areas and still dropping. The water has a brown tinge to it and the weather is bright and sunny.

Saturday, August 21, 2010

NO GOOD

If your a 'worm drown er' you may like today's conditions because it is dropping off, if your a ' fly boy ' forget it. Perhaps some sport could be found at the upper reaches but it will be tricky.

Friday, August 20, 2010

NO GOOD

There has been lots of rain overnight and the river is to high for fishing at the moment and still rising.

Wednesday, August 18, 2010

GOOD CONDITIONS

The Eden is running at a normal level (whatever that is!!!) and the weather is dry and overcast. It's got to be worth a shot.

Tuesday, August 17, 2010

DRY START

The rain came through last night ,as forecast, but the river is still at a normal level with a bit of colour in it. There is a chance that the river could come up as the day progresses because a fair bit of rain fell last night.

Monday, August 16, 2010

TIME FOR A SICKIE?

Practically no rain over the weekend and the river was in good shape yesterday with just a little colour.

Today could be your lucky day!

Sunday, August 15, 2010

WORTH A SHOT?

No further rain to talk of yesterday and the river's back to the height it was on Friday.

If it's not cleared, it should be well on its way. Be prepared to move further upstream if there's too much colour lower down.

Saturday, August 14, 2010

UP AND PROBABLY COLOURED

Apologies for yesterdays missing update (my fault for not checking e-mails).

The river shot up at about 9pm last night, peaked around midnight and is now on the way back down again (according to the EA's gauging station at Musgrave).

My guess is that if anywhere is fit, it will be the upper river. Alternatively, try Bessybeck or wait until tommorrow.

Thursday, August 12, 2010

NO CHANGE

The weather is dry and overcast and the river is running at a good fishable height.

Wednesday, August 11, 2010

GOOD AGAIN

The river is still at a good height and the weather is cool and showery.

Tuesday, August 10, 2010

GOOD CONDITIONS

The Eden is running a bit beer coloured and has dropped to a normal level.

The weather is dry and overcast.

Monday, August 09, 2010

BETTER AGAIN

The Eden has dropped to a fishable level but the river will be a bit higher downstream of the belah and scandal beck.

The weather is dry and overcast at the moment.

Sunday, August 08, 2010

SAME AGAIN

The river level has stayed more or less the same since yesterday and is still running high but you may find the odd fishable area here and there.

Have a look at the river level at musgrave on the link john gave you .

Saturday, August 07, 2010

NOT GOOD

A fair bit of rain fell overnight and it has brought the river up. It will be fish able in areas upstream but could be a bit awkward downstream of the Belah and scandal.

I would check out the river gauge link for an accurate height.

Save it to favorites if you haven't already.

Friday, August 06, 2010

NO CHANGE

The river is still running at a reasonable level and the weather is dry and overcast with some rain on the way.

Thursday, August 05, 2010

COOL START

The Eden is still running at a good summer level but it is quite noticeable that it is cooler than it has been recently.

Wednesday, August 04, 2010

SAME AGAIN!

The conditions are the same as yesterday, however, there have been a few very light showers this morning.

Tuesday, August 03, 2010

ANOTHER GOOD DAY

The Eden is still running well with a tinge of colour in it. The weather is overcast, warm and dry at the moment.

Monday, August 02, 2010

DULL BUT DRY

The rain seems to have stopped...for the time being! The river is running well with good colour to it and seems to have hardly been affected by yesterdays rainfall.

Sunday, August 01, 2010

WET MORNING

The river conditions are still good with a tinge of colour in the water.

The weather was supposed to be good today but at the moment is raining pretty heavy.

Saturday, July 31, 2010

GOOD AGAIN

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

Friday, July 30, 2010

GOOD CONDITIONS

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

Thursday, July 29, 2010

MORE OF THE SAME

Another relatively dry day yesterday and the river levels should be unchanged.

It's overcast with little if any wind again.

Another potentially good day ahead.

Wednesday, July 28, 2010

STILL FIT TO FISH

No change in the weather or river conditions since yesterday.

Curently overcast and calm. Time for a sickie?

Tuesday, July 27, 2010

CHANCE OF A FISH

No rain again over the last day and the river should still be OK. It's overcast at the minute and calm.
However, there's rain forecast for today. It could be a case of 'get it while you can.'

Monday, July 26, 2010

STILL GOOD

Yesterdays short spells of light drizzle will not have made any difference to river levels.

Weather today is overcast and calm. Looks like the chance of another good day.

Sunday, July 25, 2010

DAMP BUT FISHABLE

The light rain of yesterday has made little if any difference to the river. It should be fishable all the way.
There's more drizzle or light rain forecast for today but it's unlikely to have any effect on the river.
The link below gets you to EA's river level at Musgrave - save it to your favourites and I'm redundant!!
http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/floods/riverlevels/120711.aspx?stationId=5059

Saturday, July 24, 2010

A GOOD DAY IN PROSPECT?

Again, no rain yesterday or overnight. The river should be just about right.

The weather's overcast and calm. Go get 'em.

Friday, July 23, 2010

FISHABLE?

With no further rain over the last 24 hours, the river should something like. If the lower stretches are still marginal try further upstream.

Weather at the minute is dry, bright and calm. It could be a case of head for the trees in order to find some shade.

Thursday, July 22, 2010

COMING GOOD

With little, if any, rain yesterday and overnight, the river should be starting to drop back to a fishable condition.

As usual, the upper reaches will be the first to come good again.

Wednesday, July 21, 2010

INDOOR SPORTS?

Following Steve's report for yesterday there's been almost an inch of rain in the last 24 hours.

It's unlikely that you would get near the river, never mind in it.

Today's a good day to stack up the brownie points.

Tuesday, July 20, 2010

STILL NO GOOD

The Eden is bombing through, forget it.

Monday, July 19, 2010

NO GOOD

All the rain has brought the river up and left it un fishable with a fly.

The weather is wet and wetter.

Sunday, July 18, 2010

UP AND DOWN

The river level is changing all the time and is currently dropping again but there more rain forecast for today. It is fish able at the moment though.

Saturday, July 17, 2010

DROPPING SLOWLY

The eden is dropping down now and will be fishable in areas but will be higher downstream of KS.

Friday, July 16, 2010

NASTY DAY

The river is up a bit more and would be difficult to fish, plus I would expect it to come up some more yet.
The weather is bloody terrible, wind , rain and a weather warning. Don't bother !

Thursday, July 15, 2010

UP AGAIN

There was a few storms around last night and it has put a fair bit of water in the Eden. It is running about "normal" level and beer coloured and fishable but it has been so long since I have seen normal , so I'm not sure.
It may well be a bit higher downstream of the other becks.

Wednesday, July 14, 2010

NO CHANGE

Its going to be a showery day with some very heavy rain forecast for later in the day and the river is at the same level as yesterday.

Tuesday, July 13, 2010

FYI

There is a mountain rescue exercise on wednesday evening from Trainriggs bridge upstream to lowmill bridge. For the exercise there has been some items of clothing left on the riverbank, please do not remove them if you find them and if you would like them after we have finished just ask.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

STILL GOOD

The Eden has a slight beer colour to it and the river is a bit higher than it has been recently.

The weather is dry and breezy with some patchy cloud.

Monday, July 12, 2010

OVERCAST

The river is up about 3-4 inches on recent levels and looking good and lets face it anything looks good compared to the way it has looked for the past 4 months.
The weather is dry and overcast.

Sunday, July 11, 2010

BIT HIGHER

The river has risen a bit more with all the rain and it looks very good and fresh, for a change.

The weather is windy with showers.

Saturday, July 10, 2010

NO CHANGE

The river is still running a bit higher with some more fresh water in it and the weather is sunny with showers.

Thursday, July 08, 2010

LEVELS UP

All the rain recently has found its way in the Eden and raised the river level a few inches and really freshened it up.

The weather is overcast and dry.

Wednesday, July 07, 2010

RAINING

Some much needed rain is falling at last. Hopefully it will bring up the river level etc.

Tuesday, June 29, 2010

RAIN

Monday, June 28, 2010

SUNNY AND WARM

Another sunny warm day and the river is low but still producing catches it seems.

Sunday, June 27, 2010

NO CHANGE

Apologies for the late post!

Yes, the river's still showing its bones. It's dry and warm. But the river's still producing.

I've just picked up an e-mail from a member who's had five 2lb plus fish in the last week (and plenty of smaller ones.)

Do you know anywhere else that fishes like that?

Saturday, June 26, 2010

NO CHANGE

The weather is dry , overcast and breezy. The river is running low.

SUNNY DAY

There is another sunny day in store and as you have guessed the river is still running low but fishing very well.

HOT AND BRIGHT

Looks like its going to be scorcher today because its quite warm already.

Monday, June 21, 2010

WARM AGAIN

It's going to be another warm and bright one and still no rain to bring up the river level.

Sunday, June 20, 2010

LATE ONE

The weather is dry and warm and the river is still low.

BRIGHT & DRY

This morning sees a sunny start with very little cloud. The river has risen a couple of inches after Tuesdays rain.

Wednesday, June 02, 2010

COOL START

All yesterdays heavy rain has raised the river level slightly at KS and I would expect that further downstream there will be a bit more water in the Eden.

The weather is cool and clear.

Tuesday, June 01, 2010

RAINING AGAIN

The river level is still lower than the norm but it is still fishing well and its raining now so it may bring the river level up a bit.

Monday, May 31, 2010

HEAD FOR THE TREES

The showers of the last couple of days have made hardly any impression on the river level.

Just to make life a bit more challenging, it's also pretty bright at the minute. Accept the fact that you're going to lose a fly or two and try under the trees.

Nobody said it was going to be easy!!!

Sunday, May 30, 2010

Nice conditions

River is at a nice height. Weather is a mixture of sunshine, cloud and the odd light shower. Some wind to ruffle surface. Some nice fish can be expected in the catch returns.

Saturday, May 29, 2010

IT'S RAINING!!!

However, it's not enough to make any difference to the river just yet.

The weather at the minute is drizzle, calm and warm.

Approach it carefully and there's nothing to stop you catching fish today.

Friday, May 28, 2010

Online Catch Returns

Thanks to all who send in an online catch return after each session on the river. Please do include your name so that your season's catch return can be calculated for you at the end of the season. Note that names are not published on the website.
