September in Eden saw another season draw to a close. Due to the unprecedented events of 2020 and the early season lockdown due to the Coronavirus outbreak, it’s been a much shorter season than normal – and it seems to have flown over! But, compared to August, we finished with a relatively good month. Despite […]
August in Eden was another unsettled month! Heavy rain on the evening of the 4th brought our rivers up and we lost a few days whilst they were settling back to a more fishable level. Once they did, we managed ten days of settled weather before rain on the 18th heralded a very unsettled final […]
Eden in July was a month of unsettled weather and some great sport amid fluctuating river levels. The month began with a falling, coloured river and the first two weeks consisted of a series of rising and falling waters. But it didn’t hamper our efforts too much and a mix of nymphs, either on their […]
I’m sure that our seasons are changing. The pattern nowadays seem to be that we get summer-like weather in the spring and then by mid-June it begins to turn autumnal and the rains come. This June seemed to be following the same pattern. By the time Keith joined me on the 4th the weather was […]

August was a wet month in Eden! River levels were up and down throughout the month. But we were lucky. We didn’t lose many days on the river and when we did, our local lakes provided a good back-up. After a big lift at the end of July our rivers were out on the first […]
July was a drier month in Eden. The rivers dropped back and daytime sport was a bit more challenging at times. But, all – I hope – enjoyed it and it was great to welcome a few to Eden who were having their first taste of fly fishing. Mike is into the first fish of […]
June was a great month in Eden! May’s unsettled weather continued into June. The river held at a good level throughout most of the month and we had the best hatches of Blue Winged Olive that I’ve seen for many years! Hakan worked the upstream nymph to good effect Rain at the end of May […]
May was a very changeable month. But it is often described a ‘a Joyful May’ and it was, we had some great sport with most Eden Angler clients seeing action on their days out. The month started with cloudy days and cold Northerly winds. The fly weren’t put off though and we had some great […]
