I am kinda surprised just how hot it is for just after 12 new time. I am sitting here surrounded by spring – insects,birds,smells, spider webs drifting around …. 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. There were rising trout in just about every pool. 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”.

There is a thread and post “voting” […] To be fair the beast was only doing what the beasts do – looking at lunch! I walked along the Forth n’ Clyde Canal today – my plan was to take some photos of the works that have been carried out on the banks of the Kelvin however I befriended a […] 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.
