I was visiting the Glasgow Angling Centre the other day with Mike and we got around to discussing hooks as you do when you meet up with any angler in the close season. Discussions in the close season all come around to fishing eventually, usually a lot more in-depth conversations are to be had during…

Rain, rain and a bit more rain (with some extas)
If you do not live in Scotland then I don’t have to tell you the weather has been bad. For my international readers I can tell you the Scotland is stuck with an area of low pressure that is causing wild winds, torrential rain, thunder n lightning (with hailstones) and generally making fishing impossible. When…
Its all happening…
So tonight is like a replay of last week- I am going to a comedy club and I have plans to go fishing tommorow. This time there will be little alcohol involved and tommorrow a Pike Bonanza! Looking forward to it !
Ask me a question, on you go… ask!!

Flying Ants!
Not done any fishing as it has been too damn hot and my driving lessons seem to be getting in the way of things. However, other anglers have been on the water and are seeing roughly the same amount of fish as I am- namely doodly squat. Alex sent me this rather nice picture of…
Results of competition….
Will be in a few days (possibly a week), thanks to all those that entered it has been fun !
Fisherman dies in river accident
Sad, very sad indeed, you might remember I was going to fish the Tummel last weekend. An angler who died after being swept down a river in Perthshire has been named by police. Father-of-three Gordon Robertson was on holiday with his wife and children when he was pulled under the water in the River Tummel…
