Kids and the Kelvin kicks off!

27 February, 2011 by Alistair

Cleaning out our rivers and trying to make sure the fish are a happy bunch is quite a selfish act for anglers. We have a vested interest in making sure the river is clean and healthy because we want there to be more fish for us to catch. We also do not like wading through…

Did you know SEPA have a new river level data site?

24 February, 2011 by Alistair

Most anglers in Scotland have used Sepa’s pretty good river level site in the past and I reckon more folk will be using it even more in the future. There is a full update of the changes to the site here. For us on the Kelvin there are now three monitoring stations – the lowest down…

So you want to blog about fly fishing?

25 January, 201026 January, 2010 by Alistair

20 July, 2009 by Alistair

Thanks to Stuart B in the forum for finding this little gem from the BBC I Player Wildlife documentary. Dean is a painter and decorator by trade, but he dreams of being a wildlife cameraman. He’s spent the past few years filming in a freezing flooded quarry in Leicester. Although he’s an amateur, Dean’s footage…

Robbieredball.net – Netted!

8 May, 200911 May, 2009 by Alistair

A site run by a fly fishing anarchist intent on exposing what he perceived as being the incompetent running of his local club the Loch Lomond Angling Improvement Association has been  instructed to close its doors by his web hosts.
