Month: September 2007

A mixed bag…

27 September, 2007 by Alistair

Mixed results as the season draws to a close. I have had several sessions on my other favourite river, two at the local canal for Pike and one down the Kelvin. I met Mike down at my other river for a few hours, the river was slightly high and the colour of tea but did…

Review:In the Company of Rivers: An Angler’s Stories & Recollections

25 September, 200726 September, 2007 by Alistair

I love getting sent books by authors; it gives me a warm fuzzy glow inside that someone actually might value what I say about their writings. Writers sending bloggers books to review is quite a new thing and I have got to admit it is a perk I quite like. However I have been dreading…

Coming to an end..

16 September, 2007 by Alistair

So the end of the season is almost upon us, I fished the middle Clyde on Saturday for a few hours – there was plenty of flies on the water but the trout appeared to have other things on their minds. I caught one trout on the nymph, a lovely trout that was very dark…

When Enough….Is Enough !

8 September, 2007 by Alistair

Arrived at the river around 0830, there was a nip in the air although an occasional blast of sunshine heated me up nicely as I walked along the river bank. I met another angler ambling along the bank towards me – we exchanged pleasantries – it turns out he was going to fish bait –…

31 days of the season left…

6 September, 2007 by Alistair

31 days left, without looking at my callander that must mean around 4 weekends – or 8 days possible if I don’t take any holidays. Considering I need to spend at least one day with my other half that leaves around 4 possible days left fishing for trout. Depressing isn’t it? No way did I…

Well, if that was the Summer…

2 September, 2007 by Alistair

If that was the Summer I wonder what the Winter will bring – I am already starting to get geared up for Pike. But more of that laster in the Month. It is a funny old world when you have high expectations about somewhere and they are dashed. Gareth travelled all the way from Wales…
