River Eden

Fishing activity was surprisingly good today for the bright and clear skies, still plenty of grannom coming of the water keeping things going.
Out today with Roly and Karen from Norfolk, really good fun and they did a great job!

An absolute pleasure to be with, great weather and good company.

Roly with a good trout, it does not get much better.

One of the visitors we often see at this time of year; there's more to fishing.......

I have enjoyed the last two days and great comapny with Mike and Brian on the river, the weather was not great for fishing for the time of year, but was ideal for BBQ's and picnics!

Saying that there has been some very good hatches of grannom all week and the trout have responded well during the late morning to noon time. Once the light has got too bright and the temperatures have climbed, the river shuts down until the evening.

Mike with a nice fish also.

The water temperature today is at 58oF and the air is in the high seventies and clear skies, wind was south east and went southerly in the afternoon..

The salmon fishing has slowed somewhat the last few days with very little coming off the tides at present. We have enjoyed a spell of good fishing up until then with some fine fish taken mostly on fly. Most of the kelts seemed to have now dropped back into the estuary, and the salmon that were in the lower river have gone up to pastures new.The trout fishing is improving all the time, the hatches are having longer periods now when there is not a stiff breeze and cool air temperatures during the day.

The river level at this point is summer height, clear and hovering around the lower fifties. The grannom have not yet made any sort of serious appearance, just the odd flurries at the moment.

Quite a few otters on the river this year again, and there have been Osprey also stopping off for lunch on their journey north.
