While everyone else was either fishing or watching the Royal Wedding some folk decided to have a riot down in Kelvingrove Park on the banks of the Kelvin – the party was organised on facebook and ended with mounted police charging party goers. Of course the problem stems from our Grand Leader David Cameron telling folk to…

A bloody great hole in my foot!
So just after I had sent my waders for a full hole repair job to Diver Dave I then spent a few nervous trips thinking I had a leak – turned out it was just the cold and not creeping water in my nether regions. Anyway, last time I was out I noticed a distinct…
Camo Beret – Cool as fu….
You wear a camouflage beret while you are fishing then you are as cool as Top Cat in my book. (pic is an affiliate link to Amazon) I am going to add one of these bad boys to my Amazon wishlist for my birthday next month. Tell you what else is happening in a couple of…
Kids and the Kelvin kicks off!
Cleaning out our rivers and trying to make sure the fish are a happy bunch is quite a selfish act for anglers. We have a vested interest in making sure the river is clean and healthy because we want there to be more fish for us to catch. We also do not like wading through…
Urban Fly Fisher Kicks Ass!
Hello new and old readers – the spring appears to be springing (although we could have -15 temps back any moment). Just thought I would make a boring old post about housekeeping – don’t panic, do not run away you might actually hear something interesting and possibly slightly controversial – I know there are some…
River Kelvin Angling Association AGM – this Thursday!
It is that time of year again – the infamous all swearing and general craziness that is the River Kelvin Angling Association AGM. I wonder what will happen this year? This is only the 2nd time in around 20 years there has been an agenda so lets have a look at it shall we? Alan…
Winter solstice … over the hump!
That’s it folks – we are over the hump. From now on the days are longer and we are heading towards spring – seeing as how it feels like yesterday we were fishing for the trout with dry flies I am hoping that spring will zoom upon us equally as fast ! http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/december-solstice.html
It was not a wee birdie that told you it was moi!
Yea – that is correct – it was me! Some people just love to hear about the River Kelvin Angling Association – it is an association of anglers that is going from strength to strength. You see the thing is the association has totally turned itself around over the last couple of years – it was only a…
Kelvin Angling Association EGM
So it is only a couple of days until the crazy kids that make up the river Kelvin angling fraternity meet up once more to discuss the parentage of the committee! I wonder what will happen this year – shock accusations, heartening confessions, threats of handbags at dawn – I think we have had them…
Why the .net is good for your fishing!
I really enjoy having a fishing blog – you may have noticed this over the years! I enjoy it so much I recommend everyone has one – because of the success of Urban Fly Fisher everyone at one point appeared to want to create a website dedicated to the Kelvin 🙂 When I look back…
