A Day Salmon Fishing on the Cumbria Eden, guided by Karl Humphries MBE

A Day Salmon Fishing on the Cumbria Eden, guided by Karl Humphries MBE Hosted by Master Instructor and The Prince Albert Angling Society’s Game Fishing Officer, Karl Humphries MBE - this will be a day to remember. PAAS has excellent beats on the river Eden and Karl knows the water very well. The Eden is a freestone river (spring, lake and rain fed), and a major English game fishing river of medium size with an historical average annual run of around 12,000 fish. It has a spring, a summer, a grilse and a big back-end Autumn run of salmon. There is a decent head of wild brown trout throughout the river. There is a good sea trout run right through the year. The grayling population is very healthy with a good average weight of over a pound. The Salmon season runs January 15th to October 14th inclusive, with autumn being the most productive time. Significant numbers of salmon can enter the Eden at this time of the year with some very large specimens among them. The Haaf nets come off the estuary on September 9th and with the right water, there is a run of fish off every tide. Catching a falling river at this period, the sport can be quite exceptional. Date by arrangement. Generously donated by the Prince Albert Angling Society & Karl Humphries.
