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.
