On the kelvin …
On the kelvin just now .. it is a lovely height but is a little brown .. anyone joining me?
Throwing metal in a ditch..
If there is an opposite from my last post this is it – the contrasts between catching lovely wee trout on a burn and attempting to catch an Atlantic Salmon on the Kelvin are two extremes. Our intention (last night) was to fish the City stretches for Salmon as it has been pelting down all…
Fisherman’s Stories (morphing misinformation into factoids)
