A site run by a fly fishing anarchist intent on exposing what he perceived as being the incompetent running of his local club the Loch Lomond Angling Improvement Association has been instructed to close its doors by his web hosts. The site started simply enough – one mans dream of sharing his passion for a river he…

Anglers urged to put back salmon – Lord Kelvin senses trouble!
So anglers in Scotland are being urged to put back all spring salmon caught due to the runs collapsing – tragic – to be fair I think all Salmon in the Kelvin should be returned – the fact yer granny likes a bit of salmon is not good enough an excuse in my book to…
Lookin’ after the missus!
So there were two new mothers who wanted to go the Baby Show at the SECC and there were two new fathers who wanted to go fishing – simple solution – hook up the two mothers to keep company while the two guys go fishing – sometimes I think James Bond will come after me…
What NOT to do if you ever go to the Glasgow Angling Centre open weekend
Okay so it is my first weekend free after being back at work – I wanted to continue my anglingtastic extravaganza after the Friday nights shenanigans so I visited the Glasgow Angling Centre today as it was the open day – tragically it all went horribly wrong – as usual I have worked out how…
Hey – you guys in the states!!
Hey – you guys, aye – you and you, and quite possibly you – you guys had better keep an eye on your outgoing man at the top – seems he is bringing in a pile of new laws on the quiet. Some of them you are just not going to like: After spending eight years at…

In case you did not know PETA campaign for any kind of injustice against animals, for example: eating them, using their skin for clothes (wool & leather etc), keeping them as…
We are gathered here today…
North Country Angler wrote a great post about death and dying – well, not really great – more sombre and well written – you know what I mean! Anyway, it got me thinking – he rose some very good points about where he wanted his ashes to be scattered and where probably they should not…
Happy (belated) 5th Birthday to Me…
I was looking over at Tamanawis and noticed he was having a wee birthday. I then decided to have a look at my own stats and noticed that I have just past my own 5th birthday of blogging about fishing. Way back in the beginning I remember emailing Marshall Cutchin at Midcurrent who was one…
Loop Evotec CLWC
My fishing buddy bought one of these reels a few weeks ago – needless to say he wishes he had not bothered. I love the tag on the Loop Page “Be tough on your Evotec CLWC. It will love it” Purchased one of these recently. I’ve had six sea trout with it, but no thanks…
I loathe the saying “tight lines”
I loathe the saying “tight lines” – I can remember when people started using it (or possibly when I first noticed it) and I try and avoid it as much as possible. To me it just seems twee or maybe just a wee bit cheesy. Somehow it always makes me feel slightly uncomfortable – a bit…
