NO CHANGE

THE RIVER CONDITIONS ARE STILL GOOD AND THE WEATHER IS DRY AND OVERCAST.

GOOD CONDITIONS

THE RIVER IS AT A PERFECT HEIGHT AND THE WEATHER IS DRY, OVERCAST AND BREEZY.

VERY NICE CONDITIONS

ITS OVERCAST AND DRY , BUT WARM. THE EDEN IS RUNNING AT A VERY NICE HEIGHT .

GOOD CONDITIONS

THE EDEN HAS DROPPED TO A REASONABLE HEIGHT AND THE WEATHER IS DRY AND SUNNY.

STILL HIGH

THE RIVER HAS DROPPED A LOT , BUT IS STILL A BIT ON THE HIGH SIDE WILL SOME COLOUR IN IT AND IT WOULD BE A DIFFICULT DAYS FISHING WITH A FLY. THE WEATHER IS DRY WITH SOME SUNNY SPELLS.

WET AND WINDY

NOT A VERY NICE MORNING HERE WITH FREQUENT SHOWERS AND STRONG WINDS. ALL THE RAIN IS IN THE EDEN NOW AND IT IS UNFISHABLE WITH A FLY AND JUDGING BY THE AMOUNT OF RAIN THAT'S FALLING I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE ANY GOOD ALL WEEKEND.

WET AND WINDY

IT'S A DAMP WINDY MORNING, BUT QUITE WARM. THE EDEN IS STILL ABOVE ITS AVERAGE LEVEL AND IT IS FISHABLE AT KIRKBY STEPHEN , BUT IT MAY BE A DIFFERENT STORY DOWNSTREAM BECAUSE THERE ARE SEVERAL STREAMS FEEDING THE RIVER.

RIVER LEVEL UP

THE EDEN HAS COME UP SLIGHTLY OVERNIGHT , BUT IT IS STILL RUNNING CLEAR AND IT IS FISHABLE. THERE HAS BEEN MORE RAIN OVERNIGHT AND I WOULD EXPECT IT TO AFFECT RIVER LEVELS LATER IN THE DAY. IT IS WET AND DULL THIS MORNING.

GOOD CONDITIONS

THE EDEN HAS FINALLY DROPPED AND IS SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL HEIGHT. THE WEATHER IS DRY AND OVERCAST.

ABOVE NORMAL

ALL OF THE WATER IS FINALLY DROPPING OUT AND HAS LEFT THE EDEN SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL AT KIRKBY STEPHEN ,BUT FURTHER DOWN STREAM IT MAY BE A DIFFERENT STORY AS THERE ARE SEVERAL LARGE TRIBUTARIES WHICH WILL BE PUTTING IN MORE WATER.

NO CHANGE

A LOT MORE RAIN FELL YESTERDAY EVENING AND LAST NIGHT WHICH HAS LEFT THE EDEN UNFISHABLE WITH FLY AGAIN.

NO GOOD

THE EDEN HAS DROPPED SLIGHTLY FROM YESTERDAY AND SOME OF THE COLOUR HAS DROPPED OUT , BUT IT IS STILL TO HIGH (IN MY OPINION) FOR A DAYS FLY FISHING.

NOT GOOD !

ALL THE LAST FEW DAYS RAIN HAS BROUGHT THE EDEN UP EVEN MORE THAN YESTERDAY AND IT IS STILL UP , LEAVING IT UNFISHABLE WITH FLY.

RIVER UP

ALL THE RAIN FOUND IT'S WAY IN LATE YESTERDAY AND BROUGHT THE EDEN UP SEVERAL INCHES. THE RIVER STILL HAS NOT DROPPED TO IT'S NORMAL LEVEL AND IT IS RUNNING WITH SOME COLOUR IN IT, SO FISHING WITH A FLY WOULD BE DIFFICULT, BUT POSSIBLE IN THE SLOWER POOLS.

WET AND WINDY

NOT A VERY NICE DAY HERE AT THE MOMENT. IT'S WET,WINDY AND QUITE COOL. THE EDEN IS STILL RUNNING AT IT'S NORMAL HEIGHT , BUT I WOULD EXPECT THAT ALL THIS RAIN WILL AFFECT RIVER LEVELS MUCH LATER IN THE DAY.

RIVER LEVEL UP

THE RAIN OF THE LAST FEW DAYS EVENTUALLY FOUND IT'S WAY IN TO THE EDEN AND THE WATER LEVEL ROSE A FEW INCHES, BUT IT HAS DROPPED OFF AND IT IS NOW RUNNING SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN NORMAL WITH A TINGE OF COLOUR IN IT AND FISHABLE.

WET AND WINDY

SOME SHOWERY RAIN THIS MORNING AND OVERNIGHT , BUT THIS HAS NOT AFFECTED THE RIVER LEVEL WHICH IS STILL ABOUT NORMAL.

NICE DAY

GOOD CONDITIONS

THE EDEN HAS FALLEN TO A GOOD HEIGHT AND ALL OF THE COLOUR HAS DROPPED OUT. THE WEATHER IS OVERCAST AND BREEZY.

Following a much needed flush some days ago the river has now dropped to a perfect level. A great day to try for a wild brownie or two.

GOOD CONDITIONS

THE RIVER HAS DROPPED RIGHT OFF IS NOW AT A NEAR PERFECT LEVEL WITH A TINGE OF COLOUR IN IT. THE WEATHER IS DRY AND SUNNY.

P.S. SORRY FOR THE LATE REPORT YESTERDAY, HAD A FEW TECHNICAL PROBLEMS. I.E. COMPUTERS HATE ME!!!!!

Still dropping

Conditions good. Still a tinge of colour in the water which is slightly above normal. Good conditions expected over the weekend.

DROPPING SLOWLY

THE EDEN HAS DROPPED QUITE A LOT SINCE YESTERDAY AND IT IS STARTING TO CLEAR . IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO FISH WITH A FLY TODAY IN CERTAIN AREAS (UPPER REACHES WHERE THERE ARE LESS FEEDER STREAMS). THE WEATHER IS DRY AND BRIGHT.

STILL HIGH

THE RIVER BEGAN TO DROP YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, BUT HEAVY RAIN LAST NIGHT HAS MADE IT UNFISHABLE WITH A FLY. THE WEATHER IS DRY AND BREEZY.

FLOODED

OVERCAST

THERE HAS BEEN A BIT OF RAIN , BUT NOTHING MUCH AND THE EDEN IS STILL LOW.

DRY AND BREEZY

THERE HAS BEEN A TOUCH OF RAIN OVERNIGHT , BUT NOTHING MUCH AND NO SIGN OF THE FORECAST RAIN ,YET!!! THE EDEN IS STILL RUNNING LOW , BUT GENERALLY FISHES QUITE WELL IN LOW WATER CONDITIONS.
