River Eden in Cumbria
3 checked stretches so far — day tickets, club waters and guest tickets, each checked against the club's own pages.
The lowdown
This Eden Lacy fishery is on the River Eden in Cumbria, near Lazonby and Great Salkeld. The beat is secluded and private, with 1.8 miles of left-bank fishing, 15 named pools and a fishing hut among woodland and wildflowers.
The stretch includes trout water, a high-water pool and spring water, with some bank fishing possible at low water. It is a fly-only beat, and the named seasons are 15 January to 14 October for salmon, 15 March to 30 September for brown trout, and 16 June to 14 March for grayling.
Close season reminder
Coarse fishing on English rivers is closed from 15 March to 15 June inclusive. That's the law for coarse fish on rivers — it's not a club rule, and game-fishing seasons work differently.

Species
We only tag a stretch with a fish when the club names it. Some clubs name fish across all their water rather than stretch by stretch — those are flagged on the card.

Tips & reports
Our take (editorial, not club advice): on any decent-sized river, a lead that holds bottom without dragging is half the battle — go up in weight before you go up in bait. A bit of extra colour after rain often brings barbel and bream closer in, but a fast-rising, debris-filled river is dangerous; if in doubt, don't. Weather tools built for still lakes don't translate neatly to rivers, so we haven't bolted a lake-style weather score on here.
No angler reports on these stretches yet — we'll only show real ones once our moderated river reports are live.
