The Grayling to be found on the River Eden are both widespread and in many instances of very high quality, with fish regularly taken over 2 lb on the fly rod.

This type of fly fishing is growing in popularity, one of the main reasons for this is the fact that it extends the fly fisherman's season throughout the Winter months, thus offering no reason whatsoever to pack away your fly rod until the trout season begins once again.

Popular and very successful techniques used on the river are Czech Nymphing and spider fishing, and with the much higher temperatures we often experience later in the year, which does effect several things, Grayling regularly visit the surface and proceed to take these North Country offerings

Brown trout need no introduction to the regular angler, but the River Eden has an abundant amount of Wild Brown Trout throughout the system offering offering great opportunities to both experienced anglers and beginner alike.

These Brown trout can be caught readily throughout the season, but I must admit that early season does throw up some quality fish, when these wild fish re-appear from the rigours of their winter spawning, with a lets eat everything attitude.

Like many other rivers, Sea Trout have declined on the Eden over recent years, although there are still areas where a little intensive night fishing can throw up some good sport in the Summer months. The Sea Trout season runs from April 1st - September 30th
