Contrasts!
Got to say, as I lay here next to a pool in Italy it was difficult to bring myself to write a post about my recent fishing exploit, however as some folk think I only fish when I write a post I decided anything is better than nothing. Plus, considering I keep bleating about the…
Early Season Flies – Part One
Ok, I promised a kelvinator I would post the flies that I regularly use on the Kelvin . I pretty much use these same flies on the other rivers I fish as well. I have decided to split the series into three so watch out for the next sections over the coming weeks. Anyway, the…
