About River Eden
River Eden, in Alba / Scotland, United Kingdom, is a river where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at River Eden is often the seam between two current speeds — that's where fish wait for food to drift past. Match the size of your bait or lure to whatever insects, baitfish, or crayfish you can see in the water.

Fishing Techniques
- For Atlantic mackerel
When mackerel are feeding deep, try using a weighted lure or rig to get your bait down to them quickly. Also, chumming with fish scraps can attract schools.
- For Ballan wrasse
Ballan wrasse often inhabit rocky areas, so use a slightly heavier weight to get your bait down quickly and avoid snags.
- For European flounder
When using lures, fish slowly along the bottom with occasional twitches to attract attention; flounder are ambush predators.
