Before I left the house I noticed that my felt sole was coming off my Orvis Wading boots – I think I have worn them a couple of dozen times and never in the salt so the fact the sole is hanging off is annoying. Not having any evostick I just used some glue I…

An afternoon right up the shit pipe!
The weather was for high winds, heavy showers and low temps. Feck all that lets go to the river of shit pipes on Sunday I said to myself on the Saturday as I was starting to feel real withdrawal from fishing. Usually at this time of the year we can choose to not go fishing however finding the…
Shit Pipe River..
Sunday – it had been raining for three days so pretty much knew the Kelvin would be out of action. I considered a few other possibilities and decided the “river of pipes” was a possibility, I called it that as it has an extraordinary number of pipes over it – most if em’ shite pipes…
2012 Trout Season – you were like a batshit crazy girlfriend!
That is correct, you were like a crazy girlfriend. On one hand you promised so much (the sex was good) however on the other you turned up at crazy times at my house and made unreasonable demands. You were like two separate people, the problem was the crazy part far outweighed the good part. The good part of the relationship…
A walk in the park with a Piper!
So it was a beautiful day for the opening ceremony – we had sunshine, a breeze and even flies at one point (of course we also had strangers asking us for our whiskey and a kid with a dog where we wanted to fish but that’s another story) Oh, and remember – for Kelvin chat please join up at…
Friday Trout Trip – River of Shite!
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…
End of 2022 season
Bloody hell that was a quick season. One minute it was May and I was hanging around enjoying every other midweek day off and suddenly I am looking at new waistcoats for Christmas as my trusty old Hardy waistcoat has somehow shrunk over the last few years. I had also started to use my chest…
Urban at it!
Considering I had tied up all those comparaduns it would have been plain rude not to actually use them. I got in the roasting hot car mid afternoon and headed up the motorway towards my shit pipe river. I knew that the part I wanted to fish was in a deep shaded valley so was…
2013 Resolutions Required ..I guess!
I suppose I need to write some kind of 2013 resolution post as all the cool kids are doing them these days. So what I should really do is look at last year and what I did poorly and then look at this year and see what I can do better. Quite frankly I was…
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Three sessions my friends and each one could not have been any more different. You may have noticed it has been some days since I last posted and those living on this fine wee island will know that due to a lack of hurricanes the Gulf Stream has not been shifted South to give us…
