Thats a weird expression isnt it, gagging to go fishing? Yes it is!! Anyway, it has now been raining pretty hard for a couple of days and the Kelvin is unfishable. There is a possibility that one of the tributories will be fishable as long as their is no more rain but I suppose it [...] So after praying for rain for weeks it finally came, just as I and Alex arrived at the Kelvin.

Fingers crossed that we get some more sustained rainfall!! I received a text today from a fishing buddy telling me that he found a several dead Salmon in the Kelvin, around the grilse size…5-6lb.
