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
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…
Fly fishing and poems..

Coming to an end..

Well, if that was the Summer…
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…
