Look, I have kinda given up on reviewing books (although if someone wants to send me one then I am not saying no) however now that “Trout in Dirty Places” by Theo Pike is out I really want you to buy it. I received my copy on Friday.. My Copy… As I flicked […] Well? Did any of you catch the shenanigans on Radio Scotland today? If not you can listen in again here. Essentially Theo Pike was being interviewed about his book about urban rivers and they asked your truly to fish the Kelvin with there outside reporter Richard Cadey. The Hi Tech Gear of the […] So Sunday was the first trip out of the season – it was a weird hot March day meaning jumpers were off and sun block had to be applied to the face. The Kelvin was stuffed full of fly fishers (or so it seemed) as I met up with Paul, Stephen and later Jim. Two […] I am kinda surprised just how hot it is for just after 12 new time.

I have spotted one single rising trout so far just at the tree branch on the water , when it rises again I go for it […] Spotted my first rising trout of the season yesterday – I was actually out at Calder Glen Country Park with the kids and went for a walk along the river.

Of course, I assume this is kinda old news to you guys – forums and […] 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) Jim Burns – Legend […] Lets start with the failures shall we – so I popped into the Glasgow Angling Centre on my way home from work to buy some replacement felt soles (they don’t sell em’) and to drop off some Kelvin permits only to find it was the first day of the “open weekend”. I am glad it […] Coming soon: Trout in Dirty Places, to be published by Merlin Unwin Books on 3 April 2012. As Covers go……I like it! He has a facebook page you can visit to find out more information. Do you think the Kelvin is in it? If you answered yes then you have been paying attention […] I always think that winter and around the turn of the year is a time of reflection. I tend to look back at this diary more than I actually write in it and tend to make unrealistic plans for the future. I know that I am probably not going to get away for that week […] All posts gone, all members deleted (apart from around a dozen) what madness is this? The River Kelvin Forum has undergone a metamorphosis and is now the The “K” board –a single stream of thought,talk and opinions. We don’t have sections to confine us as neither does life. There is a thread and post “voting” […] |
