Some LRF action at least!

3 June, 2016 by Alistair

I am getting sick of Facebook – every time I go on it all I read about is Kelvinators hauling in huge trout from the Kelvin on the River Kelvin Fishers page. I am currently in a Holiday Cottage that is probably as far down the Clyde as on can possibly go without actually being…

No fish all year!

31 May, 2016 by Alistair

Last night I realised that I had not actually caught a fish all year. You read that correct = all f*cking year! We are a day away from June and I was damn near on my longest blank of the last 25 years. This is  due to the fact that due to a rather nasty…

Highland Blanks

3 May, 2016 by Alistair

Headed past the fault line being chased by the weather. First option was washed out and in a field so continued on. Finally settled with the beach casters – we tried to buy some extra bait in a supermarket but never found any! We thought about tubing a loch on the way back however a…

Brief Rod Waving

11 July, 2015 by Alistair

I had a blank at the LRF while on a short session on the way home from work – I stopped off at a popular spot with divers a couple of hours before high tide and was glad to have it to myself. I found that sea weed was being blown into my shore which…

Quick!

7 July, 2015 by Alistair

I managed a quick session down at the breakwater – I met a chap (Glen) who fishes with the legendary Frenchman Nicholas from the Glasgow Angling Centre and we exchanged some info. A chap walked past me and headed to the furthest away point after Mackerel while I hung about at the rocks. I was…

Grab it when you can – in other words missed opportunities turn out all right in the end.

24 June, 2015 by Alistair

Last night I had a chance to go after trout on the Kelvin however totally blew it. I had just helped my wife from the Dentist (afterwards she had fainted) when I realised I suddenly found myself with a couple of hours spare and my old stomping grounds of the Kelvin with no doubt plenty of…

What is this?

19 June, 2015 by Alistair

I was fishing using a wee jig off a breakwater when I again caught a fish – this one was even bigger than the other one. I had cast out and twitched it back , the fish had slammed into it and put a fair old bend in my rod. I sent the picture to…
