Mind that book I told you about the other day? The one that nobody knows much about written by someone who nobody really knows? Well, even though Amazon have totally sold out there are around 10 copies for sale on Ebay. (Picture of book takes you directly to Ebay) You cannot go wrong – instead…
Month: June 2011
It was on my doorstep all along!
So I have been tying up some flees in preparation for some hot evening action. Reluctantly I took the advice (you can substitute advice for pretty much constant ribbing) from pals regarding the size of my flies. You see in the past I fished a place where a big bushy fly was a essential as…
Anglers Book of the Clyde?
Well this book snuck up on Clyde fishers everywhere – it seems to have slipped on the scene without any kind of fanfair at all – I suppose it is a fly tying book so does not get the same treatment as say….Harry Potter but still #grin# (image is an affiliate link to Amazon) …
Weekly water photo – 24 of 52
Beer is made from water right? Last night I decide that instead of collapsing into my bed at nine I would get the vice out and tie up some flies. I had a practice run the night before and managed one parachute, last night I managed half a dozen small cdc olives for the picky…
Original Waldron on Ebay
What makes someone sell the vice they love? Who would go to the effort of obtaining a stunning piece of kit and then sell it – even give it to their son to sell. Is it not something to be handed down over the years – I know my JVice will always stay with me…

So finally managed to get some fishing squeezed in amongst the madness of 2nd time fatherhood. With hindsight maybe I should have chosen a different river, I decided on the Shit Pipe River pretty much because it was far enough away to feel I was on a trip yet close enough to bolt home if…
Typical Days!
So a typical day just now is wake up and look out to see what kind of day it is and try and scope out if a couple of hours fishing is a possibility – this all depends on the weather, what fun family activities are planned, how the two kids slept and whether I…
A month off work – so why no fishing?
So I have two weeks “paternity leave” and two weeks “annual leave” – of course before number two child was born I was sneakily thinking about fishing opportunities however the best laid plans are always totally blasted out the water by sleep deprivation and a doubling of family duties. It has been a bit of a double…
Thanking you guys!
A quick thanks to everyone who has sent me congratulations via the comments or email – I have hardly had a chance to get on the computer never mind make a post or join in the forum banter. I had this dream that I may manage a few days off trout fishing while I am…
