They say it is a brave angler that goes on the Kelvin on a Friday night – tonight I think I was a lucky one. In the bushes they could not see me although I could hear them – they were obviously very drunk and shouting and fighting with each other. “Keeeeeeeeeelly – fur fucks […] So the trout on the Kelvin are largely responsive throughout the day at the moment, which is pretty shit as my fishing opportunities are in the evenings. Usually as a trout angler you do not want blazing sunshine throughout the day however at the moment it would be great to head out at 8pm and […] My friends, there are two kinds of breathable waders, those that leak and those that are just about to leak – my own breathable waders (my 3rd pair, I have got to admit I do well) are now struggling however I can put up with a weird wet patch on my leg and […] The weather turned on Monday evening – during the day the temp was up around the high twenties and then in the evening they plummeted down to just into the teens.

It was […] How do you deal with poaching? – not the serious big stuff involving nets and and stuff I am talking about the low level stuff involving a guys just fishing the river without a permit? I managed a couple of hours on Sunday afternoon and it was spoiled by having to talk to a few […] So I managed a couple of stolen golden hours after work to try and again tempt some Kelvin trout and to be quite honest I was almost going to be waxing lyrical about spooky trout and pricked lips.
