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.

STILL GOOD

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

STILL GOOD

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

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.

SUNNY AND DRY

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