RIVER EDEN CONDITIONS 2008

NO GOOD

noreply@blogger.com (steve howarth) — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 08:34:00 +0000

Still bloody raining , so as a consequence the Eden is still to high and will stay that way for the next 12hrs or so.

FLOODED

noreply@blogger.com (steve howarth) — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 08:19:00 +0000

Not a lot to say really FLOODED and MUCKY. No good.

REASONABLE

noreply@blogger.com (steve howarth) — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 05:49:00 +0000

The Eden is dropping slowly and should be fishable in the upper reaches, but be quick because the weather is FORECAST (probably wrong again) to get quite bad this afternoon. At the moment the weather is dry and sunny.

TOO HIGH

noreply@blogger.com (steve howarth) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 05:58:00 +0000

The Eden is dropping slowly after yesterdays heavy rain, but is still unfishable with a fly.

NO GOOD

noreply@blogger.com (steve howarth) — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 05:44:00 +0000

All the showers yesterday have topped up the Eden and it is unfishable with a fly.

WET MORNING

noreply@blogger.com (steve howarth) — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 05:49:00 +0000

The river conditions are still good and the weather is showery and wet.

STILL GOOD

noreply@blogger.com (steve howarth) — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 05:40:00 +0000

Yesterdays monsoon never appeared (what a shock) so the river is still running at a nice level and the weather is overcast and dry.

SAME AGAIN

noreply@blogger.com (steve howarth) — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 06:40:00 +0000

The river is still running at a nice level and the weather is dry and overcast. No monsoons yet !!

DULL AND GREY

noreply@blogger.com (steve howarth) — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 06:53:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (steve howarth) — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 07:15:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (steve howarth) — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 05:41:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (steve howarth) — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 05:44:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (steve howarth) — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 05:42:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (steve howarth) — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 07:25:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (steve howarth) — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 08:04:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (steve howarth) — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 06:44:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (John Garner) — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 06:35:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (John Garner) — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 06:26:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (John Garner) — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 06:32:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (steve howarth) — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 05:44:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (steve howarth) — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 06:18:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (steve howarth) — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 06:50:00 +0000

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?

noreply@blogger.com (John Garner) — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 07:26:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (John Garner) — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 06:31:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (John Garner) — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 06:24:00 +0000

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.
