Well, not really like a walk in the park – more actually like a totally real walk in the parks. And by parks I mean Kelvingrove Park and Glasgow Green. The Summer has no well and truly left us and Autumn is spiraling out of control heading towards true winter – […] I was thinking the other day about all the perks of being the Vice Chair of the River Kelvin Angling Association – I mean it is a big club with nearly 1000 members, we have a healthy bank balance, we have good trout fishing and great runs of Salmon.

You see, there is this huge shoal of roach on the canal that are taunting me every time I walk past – I know they can be caught […] So Sunday night I decided on a dusk session on the Kelvin – it was another good session with lots of trout caught.
