Fishing

Discover the pleasure of river fly fishing and immerse yourself in nature! Our river breaks and courses take place on a great selection of local watercourses, including our own section of the River Eden, a totally private beat of about half a mile in the beautiful Eden Valley. There is no better way to enjoy Cumbria than to spend a tranquil day catching wild grayling and trout surrounded by the natural flora and fauna of our waters.

The King’s Arms in Temple Sowerby is centrally located for easy access to the River Eden and that is just the first of the many angling possibilities in this area.

Day licences are available for purchase – see pricing below:

  • Kings Arms guests: £10 
  • Non-residents: £15

I have known Stuart for many years, both as an angler and while representing England in various roles. He is a highly skillful fly fisher with a great personality and has that uncanny ability to get the best out of anglers by encouragement and motivation. Having fished with Stuart in many places around the World, I have no hesitation in recommending him as a fly fishing coach and guide.

John Horsey – Professional Fly Fishing Guide

In my honest and humble opinion Stuart Wardle represents all that is good in fly fishing. Professional, organised wholly versed in a vast array of skills and current techniques; beyond that, he is a damn good fly fisher. I guarantee not only will you learn volumes from being in his company; but have more fun than you could ever imagine by a river or lake side – I just wish he lived closer to me so that we could fish more often.
