River Eden system

Flowing from the Howgill Fells, between the wilderness areas of the North Pennines and the dramatic Lakeland mountains, the entire Eden system is the last truly wild trout and grayling fishing remaining in England, at least on such a scale.  There has been a lot of rain and while this has made the river unfishable for fairly long periods, the majority of the year since April has allowed a lot of fishing days.  As a consequence of high rainfall, the usual agricultural pollutants have been diluted and oxygen levels have been high, resulting in trout and particularly grayling remaining in the upper river.  The fishing throughout the system has been breathtaking, with both large grayling and trout being caught.
We fish Eden and tributaries throughout the year with the emphasis on the memorable wild trout in the summer months, and the often huge (and always challenging) grayling during the colder months.  Eden is rarely an easy river to fish, but it always provides fishing that takes you to the frontier of our sport.  If you can learn how to catch consistently on Eden, you can cope with most rivers.  Our fishing is mostly on private stretches rather than club water, and includes many wilderness sections which are seldom if ever fished.
