Activity Details
Pursue the "Lady of the Stream" in the Garden of Eden. Try fishing for the attractive and hard fighting grayling using traditional methods on Cumbria's beautiful river Eden, a river that supports an unusual and exceptionally rich aquatic flora with 183 plant species recorded; the highest of all rivers in Britain.

A SSSI that has Special Area of Conservation status for white clawed crayfish, bullheads, 3 species of lamprey, Atlantic salmon, water crowfoot and otters. The river is also of high invertebrate interest for species associated with river shingles and sandbanks. The Eden supports a high diversity of breeding birds. The sand martins nesting in the riverbanks comprise the largest colony in Cumbria and this area is of regional importance for wintering wildfowl and otters.

Learn about the river, its wildlife, the life history, habits and food of the grayling, watercraft, stealth, and how to master the forgotten art of trotting a float, using a centre pin reel with a fully qualified and insured instructor in beautiful and tranquil surroundings. All tackle, bait, rods, permits and tuition are provided, wellies and waders can also be provided.

Group Size: Maximum number of participants is 2. The session will last for approximately 3 hours.
