John Garner is not turning out today so conditions must be bad. Blowing a gale with rain, sleet and snow. The river is also up. If you do travel and you do catch we will consider awarding you a cup. Have a nice day - beside the fire.

RIVER LEVEL UP

AFTER YESTERDAYS RAIN IT HAS BROUGHT THE EDEN UP A FEW INCHES AND PUT A BIT OF COLOUR IN THE WATER , BUT IT IS STILL FISHABLE AT KIRKBY STEPHEN.
