Rain… Rain…. and even more pissing rain… Just goes to show that you can in fact get too much of a good thing. The river is like hot chocolate (although cold) and looks to stay like that untill the brown trout season ends. If we have two days respite one of the tributories may be…
Category: River Kelvin Fishing
Not long now!
A couple of weeks left trout fishing, the weather has grown cold and I will be starting a new job shortly as well. I would like to say that I will be fishing every day until the season closes but I doubt it as wedding plans are being made (and seemingly I have to do…
Ahhhh, another day!
Another day another few fish. It was windy and I am now getting much success with small green CDC flies. There is without question less fish around after the fish kill (duh!!!), you can really feel it when you go down. Usually I would be catching several nice troots but now I am struggling to…
The newsletter and a cut short session due to working!!
Members will be receiving the usual newsletter from the Association over the next few days. At the last committee meeting we spent a while stuffing them into envelopes and putting little address stickers on them.

A Cracking Hour and a Half Fly Fishing!!
So I had a very short session today down at one of the tributaries. I had to wait in for a phone call about a job so did not have much time. It was cold, so cold that I could see my breath. After I had caught my first trout…. …..my hands were pretty cold…
Poachers nabbed!!
So there was a crowd of poachers at the Junction pool of the Allander and the Kelvin. They were using nets seemingly to catch fish. A joint effort between two police forces nabbed them after a nearby resident raised the alarm when one of them attacked a young boy and beat him up. Its good…
Contact me!!
I have added a little “contact me” widget in the pages section on the right hand side. Feel free to drop me a line if you have not already and we can talk fish!
Cash up for grabs!
There was a post on a forum I frequent from an organisation called Anglers Voice. There are giving away money:: Dear All, If I asked you to nominate a deserving cause for a £50 cheque/voucher, who would you nominate?. Are you personally organising clean-ups on a river? Are you donating time to help our Rivers…
Dead Salmon on the Kelvin- an explanation?
So it appears that the dead salmon on the Kelvin was not just the result of the heat. There has been two fish deaths, the heat and a disease. At the moment there are large amounts of dead Salmon in the Clyde and no one really knows what to do about them. The thinking is…
