sat on the eden

Just got back from a 1/2 day on the eden the river was at a nice height. The only down side was a horrible blustery upstream wind.




A few fish topping but no hatch to talk of caught 2 grayling and a small trout.

 

 

Eden

Today saw me on the eden at kirkby stephen the river was slightly coloured and a touch high but with all the rain we have ahd in the last week or so just to get onto the river was a bonus.

I caught 8 fish 6 out of season grayling and 2 trout the weather was fine nand the river getting back to something like.

Perch on the fly

Saturday myself and Greg headed for high Fairbanks reports were good lots of bracken clocks and damsels about so i was eager to get to the water and start fishing.

On getting to the water the first thing we noticed was the lack of surface activity we walked around the water trying to locate the fish.Greg was first into a fish a perch of about 3 oz this continued for most of the day all we could catch were perch.

A odd but good days fishing not the sort of fish i expected to fish but its always good to be out in stunning surroundings and fishing with a very good friend.
