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!!

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.

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?

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

Still got a cool wind coming in from the north east and the river is still low.

Saturday, May 08, 2010

ANOTHER COOL AND BREEZY DAY

No change on recent conditions - the river's showing its bones, the wind's in the North and it's pretty cool.

However, while it's not going to be easy, it's not impossible. If you're in the right place when the flies are coming off stealth tactics will produce results.

Friday, May 07, 2010

It did rain yesterday but it didn't touch the river level.

Saturday, May 01, 2010

NO CHANGE

Still no rain so the river is still low but fishable and the weather is dry and overcast with sunny spells.
