Marriage Counseling

A husband and wife go to a counselor after 15 years of marriage. The counselor asks them what the problem is and the wife goes into a tirade listing every problem they have ever had in the 15 years they’ve been married. She goes on and on and on. Finally, the counselor gets up, goes…

That Friday Feeling

30 March, 2007 by Alistair

Another night at my fly tying class last night, very interesting. On the way back home I got to discussing with Alex another river that we fish and just how special it actually is. The river is split with reeds and islands and weed beds making the currents form hundreds of small pools, riffles and…

The Clyde – two weeks early

25 March, 2007 by Alistair

A short report. Hit the Upper Clyde yesterday with a pal. It was bright sunshine with a chill in the air. There was a few Large Dark Olives coming off the water but did not see any trout rising at all. As you can see, Allan is about as stealthy as Emanuelle when it comes…

Sawyer said, “The successful attraction…

Fish Wild – April 2007 Online

21 March, 2007 by Alistair

The April edition of Fish Wild is now online. I particulary like Mike Connors article on what makes somebody an angler.

A View From the Bridge – Moored?

18 March, 2007 by Alistair

Tom Jervis over at A View From the Bridge is calling it a day due to ship based work being commercially sensitive . Tom’s writing and most excellent sense of humour has kept me amused for a good few years now. I will return with a different format at a later date so for the…
