El Conio The Magnificent

28 February, 2010 by Alistair

Fly Tying – Milngavie Style!

22 February, 2010 by Alistair

So I decided I needed some contact with other anglers and the best place for that was at the fly tying class along at Milngavie (rather than standing in the freezing cold chasing Grayling, some people might say actual fishing for a change) – an added bonus was that Jim from Palewatery was visiting to…

Kelvinography – kinda!

14 February, 2010 by Alistair

I am assuming that hardly anyone happened to see the Kelvin Angling Association in the news probably because the only people that knew about the opening day event were the people that were there – nothing sinister – STV just dont give much notice about whether they will give you air time or not.
