Fishing Fly Stuck in Eye
Fishing Fly Stuck in Eye I am pretty sure most people have seen this link by now, a reason why people shoudl ensure they wear some kind of eye protection. The fly looks like a Pheasant Tail Nymph, which reminds me that I should rie up some for next season!
Glasgow Fly Tying Evening
The Fly Tying night is starting up again…the venue is:: the Yarrow Club at 223 Anniesland Road, Glasgow G13 1RP. The night will be a Wednesday and it starts on the 5th October at 6.30pm. I will be there, unless it stops raining, in which case I will be fishing….and then wander in late!
You CAN have too much of a good thing!!
Rain… Rain…. and even more pissing rain… Just goes to show that you can in fact get too much of a good thing. The river is like hot chocolate (although cold) and looks to stay like that untill the brown trout season ends. If we have two days respite one of the tributories may be…

Ahhhh, another day!
Another day another few fish. It was windy and I am now getting much success with small green CDC flies. There is without question less fish around after the fish kill (duh!!!), you can really feel it when you go down. Usually I would be catching several nice troots but now I am struggling to…
The newsletter and a cut short session due to working!!
Members will be receiving the usual newsletter from the Association over the next few days. At the last committee meeting we spent a while stuffing them into envelopes and putting little address stickers on them. Its funny but as I was sticking on the stickers I recognised a fair few names, and oddly there were…
