The roving angler scheme for the Eden Valley; Go Wild in Eden is back for 2007 with exclusive access to 28 beats of wild brown trout and grayling fishing and two new beats on the way.

As well as providing some very challenging fishing Go Wild enables you to enjoy some of Cumbria’s most unspoiled scenery. As the beats are on private land, accessible only with permission from the landowner or through the Go Wild scheme, you can enjoy the Cumbrian countryside away from the hoards of tourists. These really are hidden gems!

Managed by the Eden Rivers Trust Go Wild in Eden is now in its third year and proved popular with local and visiting anglers, as well as landowners, who kindly allow Go Wild anglers access to their land; the number of beats has more than doubled in two years!

Jody Ferguson, Marketing Officer for the Eden Rivers Trust, said: “The objective of the scheme is to bring cash to parts of the river where habitat improvement works have been carried out or are planned. By providing a sustainable income to farmers and landowners we hope that it will protect the river for the future”

The brown trout season runs from 15th March to 30th September and you can fish for grayling from the 16th June to the 14th March.
