You are correct, I have not been fishing in ages. Have a dream instead…

20 December, 201220 December, 2012 by Alistair

It has been noted in the comments that there has been a lack of actual fishing over the last month or so. One would think that I have not been fishing with a rod and line at all and that thought would go in fact be correct. The miserable weather, trout on the dry being…

Haunted by foxes!

17 December, 2012 by Alistair

I encountered it in a Bed and Breakfast in Pitlochry – the look of pure absolute evil. Its eyes were attached to a head that had been wrenched off its shoulders and then had a  hapless duck stuck between its jaws. I have never been freaked out by a stuffed animal so much in my…

Vermin Traps

6 December, 20126 December, 2012 by Alistair
