Warwick Hall beats on the River Eden in Cumbria offer 2 beautiful and productive stretches of water for the dedicated fly fisherman.
These beats are believed to be amongst the best on the Eden and indeed, are ranked among the best in England.
Fishing on the Eden can be accommodated all year long. While spring, summer and autumn offer the opportunity to catch Salmon, Wild Brown Trout and Sea Trout - there is also the opportunity to fish for Grayling throughout the winter.
The Top beat pools can be reached by car, with a short walk to the water. This allows a few long term tenants to continue to enjoy their sport as they head for their ninetieth birthday! Other tenants park and walk between pools. The river banks are carefully maintained, and steps have been installed in places for the more elderly fishermen.
The pools on the Top Beat are; The Otterstone (yes, there are otters). The House Pool, Gravel Bank, The Garden Pool, The Nunnery Pool and Coops Stream.
There is a good fishing hut looking out on to Jackie's pool and Duffers. Occasionally non-fishing guests at the Hall will come along to use the picnic facilities.
Warwick Hall are justly proud of the high standard of maintenance of the banks and amenities on the beats. Keeper Charlie Alderson sets high standards for himself (and for everyone else!) and the credit goes to him. They believe it adds enormously to the pleasure of a day's fishing to find well kept huts and carefully tended banks.
There are 2 boats available for borrowing when the water is high and the pools are deep. You'll find the key in the Fishermen's Room at the main house - be careful to return it!
