River
Eden: Musgrave
This productive stretch of water stretches from Blandswath Bridge
(Upper limit) to Great Musgrave Bridge (Lower limit). It is easily
accessed from either bridge and provides delightful fly fishing for
wild brown trout. Grayling are also present. Each season trout in
excess of 3lb are caught here. This fishery is probably the most popular stretch of water controlled by Kirkby Stephen and District Angling Association. It is interesting and productive and easily fished by fly. The water is varied with pools large and small and with runs fast and slow. The River Belah and Swindale Beck both enter the Eden on this stretch adding to the flow of the main river. Adjacent to both beck ends there are deep, slow moving runs that contain a lot of fish and which offer good fly fishing. Map
