Fishing Urban Rivers

25 May, 2008 by Alistair

Slow Bank Holiday?

23 May, 200823 May, 2008 by Alistair

May Holiday Madness

6 May, 20086 May, 2008 by Alistair

So the seasons have decided to totally miss out spring and have just dived straight into summer instead. The day was roasting hot, into the twenties and the Clyde was the venue. I split up from Alex (who caught his obligatory 2lber on the nymph) while I targeted some rising trout on some flat water…
