If this is really of interest to you then I understand that there are places that offer treatment for addictions.

It's still rather cool with plenty of lying snow about. If the predicted thaw does happen there's only one place that snow's going to.

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.

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.

GOOD AGAIN

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

ALL GOOD

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

GOOD CONDITIONS

The Eden is still slightly above normal but fishable.

The weather is cool and overcast.

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.

SAME AGAIN

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

SLIGHTY UP

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

DROPPING

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

The weather is dry and cool.

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.

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)

ALL GOOD

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

STILL GOOD

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

DROPPING

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

The weather is dry and overcast.

NO GOOD

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

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.

ALL GOOD

Weather good, river good, GO !!

NO CHANGE

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

STILL GOOD

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

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.

OVERCAST AND DRY

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

NO CHANGE

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

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.

NO CHANGE

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

COOL AND CLEAR

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

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

GOOD AGAIN

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

WET START

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

GOOD AGAIN

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

COLD START AGAIN

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

COOL AND CLEAR

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

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.

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.

GOOD CONDITIONS

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

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.

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.

NO GOOD

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

NO CHANGE

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

GOOD AGAIN

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

GOOD CONDITIONS

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

The weather is dry and overcast.

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.

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 .

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.

NO CHANGE

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

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.

SAME AGAIN!

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

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.

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.

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.

GOOD AGAIN

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

GOOD CONDITIONS

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

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.

STILL FIT TO FISH

No change in the weather or river conditions since yesterday.

Curently overcast and calm. Time for a sickie?

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.'

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

STILL NO GOOD

The Eden is bombing through, forget it.

NO GOOD

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

The weather is wet and wetter.

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.

DROPPING SLOWLY

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

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 !

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

NO CHANGE

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

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.

RAINING

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

NO CHANGE

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

SUNNY START

There was a fair bit of rain in a short time yesterday and it has put a small amount of fresh water in the Eden, but not much.

The weather is dry and sunny with a fresh breeze.

VERY WINDY

The rain has not arrived yet but it is very windy. The river conditions are still low.
