Mixed Reports are coming in.for another dry low water level July. No recent mention of any more Salmon being caught - largest so far is 13 lbs but then they may not be reported until the end of the season on the catch return. Please keep the reports and photos coming. Names and locations wont be published without permission.
Some say there is no fish in the river because they did not see or catch any but others are reporting Sea Trout and finnock up to 3 - 4 lbs between the Pouch and the Estuary and some good sized Brown Trout over the l lb being caught on the fly with some good evening rises mostly above Cupar. One Brown Trout over 2 lb caught & returned on a 0 Mepp below Cupar. For whatever reason the days of large numbers of Salmon & sea Trout are certainly long gone for everyone, not just for the Eden. Small shoals of Sea Trout and Finnock are now fewer, but can be encountered one day (night) making it a truly memorable experience, the next time fished they are gone. Thats why they are called the silver Ghosts. Sea Trout come in and run the lower beats as far as Dairsie Bridge with the tides usually at night and back again to the sea unless the river water levels are favourable.
