I had a day on the big river on Sunday – my pal Emanuele was up from Hull for a long weekend and we arranged to meet up for a day’s fishing – we used to fish this place regularly a few years ago. The day was overcast and warm – at least warm enough…

Trout at Last..
All this sea fishing and Salmon fishing has been fun – I am expecting a few more sessions like that before the season is gone. I may well go after Salmon again this week with both the dreaded spinning rod and the fly rod however today I needed to do what I love most –…
Fishing in Lilliputian Style!
Fished a tiny stream on Sunday – the day was warm with a forecast of rain – it began to cloud over by midday – the rain never arrived. The stream was in a gorge and for once there was no burnt out cars (although strangely still an exhaust). I fished with Paul the KAA…
Shit Pipe River..
Sunday – it had been raining for three days so pretty much knew the Kelvin would be out of action. I considered a few other possibilities and decided the “river of pipes” was a possibility, I called it that as it has an extraordinary number of pipes over it – most if em’ shite pipes…
£500,000 project to restore historic fountain in the park

Lookin’ after the missus!

Tying Flees!
Ok – so winter was a washout when it came to tying up flies – if I had my head screwed on I would have tied up some at the end of last season however due to Pike Madness pretty much everything went by the wayside. I thought people who moaned about having no free…
Lessons learned with cold hands…
When I arrived at the “other” river the conditions seemed just right – as I was getting my permit I ran into Neil “Trout Machine” Sinclair of Double Decker fame (double deer hair wings allow the fly to be used in the heavy water where big fish like to sit) -“if he is here” I reasoned…
I’m not calling to gloat..
“I’m not calling to gloat” I said to Campbell – “I am just phoning to share the ……joy of catching the first trout of the season” You see, Campbell is a kindred spirit – we both thought if we had our child (like it was planned) in January that would give us a few months…
