RIVER EDEN AND TRIBUTARIES

Cumbria has more fishing waters than any other county in England and the river Eden and its tributaries are jewels in its crown.The Eden, which rises in Mallerstang near Swaledale, Yorkshire, has a length of 70 miles and is one of the finest angling rivers in the country. It is foremost as a river for salmon. Brown trout are abundant and although they do not generally grow very large, they provide excellent sport for the Caldew Footangler. The tributaries hold many trout which thrive in the clean waters: the rivers Lowther, Eamont, lrthing, Petteril and Caldew have plenty of cover and gravel beds which are ideal for the brown trout. Although the Eden is primarily a game fish river, it also holds many grayling, chub and dace.

The river passes through some of the most beautiful countryside in the North of England and gives pleasure to both the anglers and those who love to be beside flowing water. From Kirkby Stephen, through Warcop, to Appleby and Temple Sowerby, the river holds many trout and gives excellent fishing to the anglers who fish in these upper parts of the river. From Lazonby down-stream through Armathwaite to Wetheral and Warwick Bridge, and the City of Carlisle towards the Solway, the pools and streams are ideal for the salmon angler.
