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 was a…

“Trout in Dirty Places” written and fished by Theo Pike
Coming soon: Trout in Dirty Places, to be published by Merlin Unwin Books on 3 April 2012. 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 as he visited us last season for a…
Way Back When?
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 up North…
River Kelvin Forum – Phase 2
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” system in place – if a post is…
Sneaky Bastard!
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 pensioner who had walked…

Vice Chairman Perks!
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 would think there would be…
Bags of Shite!
Can I just point out that I do not mind dogs that much – I mean over the years I have been attacked by Rottweilers and have had to put up with my fair share of splashing dogs in my time however I do not hold anything against them (especially my crotch and on one memorable…
Last Days….
The Summer is now into its old age and heading towards its grave – the leaves are falling off the trees and I had been hoping to have one final cast before the winter (and close season hit) – I also had a plan to clean the grime from my Salmon fishing exploits off my…
Weekly water photo 33 of 52
So I was down the park with the boy and spotted a couple of fly anglers having a bash for the salmon – couple of nice lads! I spoke to them for a bit until the boy got bored and then headed up the road – had to stop on a bench next to the…
