Eden

After watching the EA website all week i decided to try the eden,this is the first time in a month or so i have been on a river.

On parking up the river was in a nice low level and it was a mild warm day,fish were conspicuous by there absence but on walking up the river i witnessed a number of large fish jumping clean out of the water,after watching one particular fish jump i thought could it be a salmon?

After quite a few miles under my belt i had managed to catch 4 grayling the biggest being a 17 inch fish (see below) on walking back to my car i bumped into john gardiner on asking him about the jumping fish he indeed told me that they would be salmon and right on cue one jumped right where we were.

My best fish of 2011

With the year just about to end i have been looking through my pics and thought i would post a few pics

3 rd time lucky

Saturday so me once again on High Newton the last two occasions i have blanked so i wasnt expecting anything from the trip.As with the last two visits it was a case of fishing the warmest parts of the day usually 12 - 3.

On walking round i could see a few fish topping along the dam wall it was hard work in the end i managed to winkle out 2 trout and in no time the temprature dropped as the sun set and it was time for home.

At this time of year its just a case of picking your day and fishing the warmest part of the day and like me you might get lucky and catch a few!!!!!
