NO GOOD

All the showers recently keep bringing the level up and down which makes it almost impossible to read the levels.
At the moment it is up again and with showers on the way I would say its not going to drop much. Don't bother.

Tuesday, July 19, 2011

DROPPING SLOWLY

The Eden appears to be on its way down but is still 4-5" above the norm and is very peaty in colour.
The weather is dry and overcast at the moment.

Monday, July 18, 2011

UP AND DOWN

There has been that much rain falling recently that it is hard to keep up with which direction the levels are going.

At the moment it is fishable upstream of the main tribs but there has been a lot of rain overnight so it could/will change quickly as the day continues .

Sunday, July 17, 2011

STILL RAINING

The Eden has come up a few inches and is slightly couloured but is still fishable. Regarding the weather, it is still raining.

Saturday, July 16, 2011

WET MORNING

This is what my kids call 'summer holiday weather' basically crap weather. Wet and breezy but the river conditions are still good if your daft enough.

Friday, July 15, 2011

OVERCAST AND DRY

The river conditions are still good. There is some rain forecast but its dry so far.

Thursday, July 14, 2011

LOVELY MORNING

The sun is out again and the river conditions are spot on. GO GO GO .

Wednesday, July 13, 2011

AND AGAIN

The weather is dry and the river is running very nicely for a day on the river.

Tuesday, July 12, 2011

GOOD AGAIN

The Eden is running at a nice height and the weather is overcast and dry.

Monday, July 11, 2011

GOOD AGAIN

The recent rain is still running off with a peaty colour to the water but the level is good. The weather is overcast and dry at the moment.

Sunday, July 10, 2011

DROPPING OFF

The Eden has dropped off to a reasonable height with a beer colour to the water, it may be a bit higher downstream of the Belah/Scandal Becks.
The weather is good at the min.

Saturday, July 09, 2011

UP AND DOWN

The river shot up last night after all the heavy showers and is still up 6-8" above normal at KS but dropping slowly. It may be fishable with fly in areas but it is more suitable for 'worming'.

It all depends how keen you are !!

I will be having a look at the web cam today and hopefully it will be back online soon,

Friday, July 08, 2011

GOOD CONDITIONS

The eden has come up a little bit due to all the showers but is still fishable.

Thursday, July 07, 2011

NASTY MORNING

Heavy rain this morning and quite strong winds but despite that the river conditions are perfect. Mind you, would you go fishing in this weather ?

Wednesday, May 11, 2011

Catch Returns

See live web cam to see height of river. See latest catch returns to see how the river is fishing.

Saturday, April 30, 2011

SAME AGAIN

The Eden is still low and the weather is dry, breezy and bright.

Friday, April 29, 2011

LOW LOW LOW

As you can see on the web cam the Eden is very low. The weather is bright and breezy but quite cool.

Tuesday, April 26, 2011

COOLER

It feels much cooler this morning plus there is a lot of cloud about. The Eden is still running low.

Friday, April 22, 2011

NO CHANGE

The weather is still brilliant (perhaps not the best for fishing) and the Eden is running low.

Tuesday, April 19, 2011

BRIGHT AGAIN

Another nice spring day with plenty of sun this morning. The Eden is still lower than normal but fishing quite well.

Sunday, April 17, 2011

GOOD CONDITIONS

The Eden is running low (it fishes well when its low) and the weather is dry and bright.

Wednesday, April 13, 2011

GOOD AGAIN

Bit of a cool start and showers forecast for later but the river conditions are still good.

Tuesday, April 05, 2011

NO GOOD

There was lot of rain overnight and the Eden has shot up as a consequence and is in flood.

Sunday, April 03, 2011

DROPPING

As you can see on the webcam the Eden is dropping again. There has been some more rain overnight but it hasn't affected the river level so far.

Saturday, April 02, 2011

WET MORNING

Raining again ! The Eden has been up and down the last few days and is dropping off again now but conditions below KS could be difficult and there is every chance the river will come up again. It is currently running 5-6" above normal.

Friday, April 01, 2011

HORRIBLE !!

Wet,windy and still raining heavy. Do you need more ? The Eden came up 3-4" yesterday and then dropped off but I would think it highly likely that it will come up again today. Sorry about the web cam, we are having a few technical problems and it will be back on asap.

Thursday, March 31, 2011

WET START AGAIN

Its raining and quite breezy this morning but the river is still running at a normal level.

Wednesday, March 30, 2011

WET START

Its raining this morning and looks like we are in for rain for most of the day. The river is still running at a reasonable level.

Monday, March 28, 2011

NICE DAY

The river conditions are unchanged and the weather is dry and bright with patchy cloud.

Saturday, March 26, 2011

COLD START

The river conditions are perfect again but the temp is much lower than the last few days with a fair bit of cloud.

Saturday, March 19, 2011

GOOD AGAIN

More or less the same as yesterday, cold, dry and bright. Get your butties made and get a move on !!!!!

Friday, March 18, 2011

COLD START

A dry and frosty start this morning and the river is running at its 'normal level' so make a mental note of the level on the web cam for future reference.

Sunday, March 13, 2011

NEARLY THERE

The new season starts very soon. Due to work pressures I cannot promise to be able to put a report on every day but at least you have the web cam.
When the river drops to a normal level ( I will let you know) I would make a mental note of the level using the rocks on the bottom of the web cam pic then you have a reference.
Today the river is running slightly coloured and up about 3" on its normal level.

Thursday, September 30, 2010

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.

Wednesday, September 29, 2010

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.

Tuesday, September 28, 2010

GOOD AGAIN

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

Monday, September 27, 2010

ALL GOOD

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

Sunday, September 26, 2010

GOOD CONDITIONS

The Eden is still slightly above normal but fishable.

The weather is cool and overcast.

Saturday, September 25, 2010

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.

Friday, September 24, 2010

SAME AGAIN

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

Thursday, September 23, 2010

SLIGHTY UP

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

Tuesday, September 21, 2010

DROPPING

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

The weather is dry and cool.

Monday, September 20, 2010

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.

Sunday, September 19, 2010

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)

Saturday, September 18, 2010

ALL GOOD

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

Friday, September 17, 2010

STILL GOOD

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

Thursday, September 16, 2010

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.

Wednesday, September 15, 2010

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.

Tuesday, September 14, 2010

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.

Monday, September 13, 2010

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.

Sunday, September 12, 2010

DROPPING

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

The weather is dry and overcast.

Saturday, September 11, 2010

NO GOOD

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

Friday, September 10, 2010

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.

Thursday, September 09, 2010

ALL GOOD

Weather good, river good, GO !!

Wednesday, September 08, 2010

NO CHANGE

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

Tuesday, September 07, 2010

STILL GOOD

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

Monday, September 06, 2010

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.

Sunday, September 05, 2010

OVERCAST AND DRY

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

Saturday, September 04, 2010

NO CHANGE

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

Friday, September 03, 2010

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.

Thursday, September 02, 2010

NO CHANGE

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

Wednesday, September 01, 2010

COOL AND CLEAR

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

GOOD AGAIN

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

Sunday, August 29, 2010

WET START

Saturday, August 28, 2010

GOOD AGAIN

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

Friday, August 27, 2010

COLD START AGAIN

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

Thursday, August 26, 2010

COOL AND CLEAR

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

Wednesday, August 25, 2010

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.

Tuesday, August 24, 2010

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.

Monday, August 23, 2010

GOOD CONDITIONS

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

Sunday, August 22, 2010

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.

Saturday, August 21, 2010

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.

Friday, August 20, 2010

NO GOOD

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

Wednesday, August 18, 2010

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.

Tuesday, August 17, 2010

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.

Monday, August 16, 2010

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!

Sunday, August 15, 2010

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.

Saturday, August 14, 2010

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.

Thursday, August 12, 2010

NO CHANGE

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

Wednesday, August 11, 2010

GOOD AGAIN

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

Tuesday, August 10, 2010

GOOD CONDITIONS

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

The weather is dry and overcast.

Monday, August 09, 2010

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.

Sunday, August 08, 2010

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 .

Saturday, August 07, 2010

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.
