We slinked back to Harelaw as the conditions on the rivers have been wiped out, as it turned out the conditions on the loch were pretty poor as well. A low temperature and high wind kept the fish dour, however Brian the colourful owner of the place kept us amused with his patter as usual….

Harelaw- third time lucky
So to round off my week’s annual leave I decided to have another bash at Harelaw Trout fishery. The last two times I went with Alex my first rainbow remained elusive but to be fair the first time it was a howling gale with white horses and driving rain whilst the second time we tried…
Harelaw-the second coming!
See that, that was a play on words that was!It could have been good. We had planned this for a while…..well I suppose if I was to say fortnight then it wouldn’t be the same so I will say “a while†instead. At least we had been talking about doing a bit of fishery action…

Respecting Trout
Steve posts a nice article on respecting trout. My friends and I are very lucky in that we have a mass of cheap affordable wild trout fishing on our doorstep. Saying that, we are not averse to occasionally visiting a stocked fishery for a spot of rainbow trout fishing. We are guilty of taking great…
The Phenomenon
I always get paranoid when I take someone new to the Kelvin. I could have had weeks of fantastic fishing, all my hot spots throwing fat trout at me and the Kelvin behaving like, well, the Kelvin. And then I take someone who has never fished it and not only do they blank, but I…
A Perfect Storm (to fish in)
So last week one of the Kelvin fishers (Alex) asked me if I wanted to go and do a bit of Stockie bashing. Seeing as how it must be done a couple of times a season? (At least that is what I have decided on now) I agreed and the day was set for yesterday…
