Prime Fishing on the River Eden in Cumbria

Early days

Contributed by John Garner (24.03.2005)

Spent 2.5 hours around hen house corner on the Eden on Saturday 19th March and blanked. A visitor from Carlisle Anglers had 1 fish, about 1.5 lb on worm. Apparently, there'd been a decent hatch of LDO's earlier but nothing had moved to them. Also plenty of midges about. Water in the pools was only 8 degrees C (likely to be cooler still in moving water) so it's no surprise that nothing's moving yet.
