These lower Eden beats have the cream of the early Spring fishing and enjoys a very good summer run which is improving year on year. The fishery is situated just two miles from the Solway estuary. The river here is influenced by the tide – tideschart.com, a Solway tide book is recommended for planning optimum fishing times and for personal safety.
There is a good variety of water on the fishery. There are pools with good flow on both beats which are well suited to fly fishing, while the other slower and deeper sections are more effectively spun and bait fished.

Beside fly fishing, spinning and (bait fishing after June 16th) is also permitted.
