The good news is that it appears that from 2017 the Eden will be classed as a category 2 river. This will mean that we will be, once again, able to take salmon from the Eden. This will be mitigated by the fact that there will have to be a conservation plan in place. This is already being undertaken by the Tay board. Over the last few weeks they have been conducting surveys on juvenile salmon in various areas of the river. Our thanks go to the committee members who have assisted in the survey. One serious problem that was highlighted by the survey is that there are American signal crayfish in one of the feeder burns that runs into the Eden upstream from Crawford Priory. The Tay board will monitor the situation. The previous idea of installing a fish counter on the Eden seems to have faltered. At the last Tay board meeting it was intimated to the secretary that Marine Scotland were not in favour of installing the counter, probably due to cost.
No matter what the outcome of the conservation plan and the regrading of the River, it is still up to every angler to show restraint. Please return all salmon that are undamaged and let them go on to breed.

 

The season so far

Thank you to all those who helped and did a lot of work which benefited the whole membership. Why not volunteer for the next work party?

The seatrout have been slow to appear this year but a 5 pounder was caught this week. Salmon have been spotted throughout the river but not in any great numbers. The brownies are still giving great sport and are in great conditions.
