Month: September 2003

Well, Its only one week left until the end of the season…the trout season that is. Im trying to decide whether I should move my efforts to sea trout and salmon..only the next month will say i suppose. Ive got some ideas for the web site, i was thinking of changing the colour scheme and…

Great, managed to give that Gibson Street stretch a go today. It was pouring down with rain and i didnt manage to get some pictures …..well any good pictures anyway. I started a good bit behind this …. and this is looking upstream To be honest, i pretty much know that within the first hour…

Bah !!I might have known, its been raining a fair bit so im not going to go down to the river untl later on, possibly it may have started to clear by then.I managed to track someone down that was tying those Clyde Style flies so with a bit of luck they will arrive within…

I might have known, as soon as i made my last post it started to rain…….Ill check the agency site again in the morning but im not holding out much luck…..the only good thing is that ,,,,,lovely Claire is off and i will be able to talk her into giving me a lift.. INSERT EVIL…

Well, I went down to that stretch at Gibson Street again……here is a photo of the bridge… Now this is where I was told there was some good fishing…….I walked up the river a little…. Now is it just me or does that little run just look simply lovely. Anyway, I was getting quite exited…

I loathe going into angling shops. Whenever I can I buy my stuff online although today I went into the “Glasgow angling centre”. It was horrible, like a fishing stuff tesco. The people behind the counter are not very friendly and when I tried to start a conversation the guy just looked at me. Possibly…

Aye anyway,The guy that I was speaking to earlier recomended those “Clyde Style Flies” i will need to pick some of them up at some point, possibly for next season ….Met some youngsters around 12 who did not have permits but were fishing the fly and seemed keen. I gave them a few flies and…

How many fish have i caught this season?I was asked this today by another angler that stopped to chat. To be honest i was totally stumped. He pretty much knew that he had caught around 60. Looking back through this blog is a bad idea as i started making the site and doing the blog…

Incidentally, i was browsing that site the Smoky mountain on the fly site and found this…. Jeepers……now i know i have a lovely partner………….BUT how come i never see lovely ladies like that down the river…..BAH
