The Club’s stretch starts at the Vexour Bridge on the north downstream bank. The Eden is a small but steadily flowing river about 3 feet deep in its centre, rarely more, frequently less. There are wide bends every 50 to 100 yards and the stretches in between vary from 5 to 6 yards wide, some fairly clear of weed growth, others continuous stretches of lily pads. There is even a run of ‘rapids’ with a stony bottom, all of which makes for interesting fishing and all occurring within 5 minutes stroll of the bridge. The river contains chub, roach, bream, perch, pike gudgeon and bleak. The chub (which can be over three pounds) and roach are the main quarry on this water. A stick float can normally be worked down the deeper sections, all baits will catch. Sweet corn will sort out the better fish, or meat, if chub are the target, avoiding the bleak which in summer can be a problem with small baits. A roving approach is best if the target fish is not found within half an hour, it is wise to move swims.

This is an ideal venue for a relaxing time in the countryside and you do catch fish.
