I found myself with that most satisfying time when I had a spare few hours this afternoon – boys were at various parties and out with friends so I was able to get a rod out and wave it around for a while. Obviously with a little heat in the air I wanted to go…

Low/High/Mid/Temp?
Glasgow is back in level three meaning that I cannot in good faith visit to have a cast on the Kelvin. My office near the Kelvin is not due to be opening anytime soon which means I am goosed for some early season trout action – I have heard up until now the season has…
Different Days
I managed to sneak away from work an hour early on Friday and was soon at the salt for the correct state of the tide. The wind was blowing hard on this side of the peninsula and the waves were fair crashing across the wee ledge I was standing on. It was fairly tough going…
Speculative casts
There is a bay that I know which I sometimes drive past. I decided that this might be a good place to go for a speculative cast. I took a note of the what state the tide was at and was there sharpish after getting a pass from the wife. There was a line of…

Some LRF action at least!
I am getting sick of Facebook – every time I go on it all I read about is Kelvinators hauling in huge trout from the Kelvin on the River Kelvin Fishers page. I am currently in a Holiday Cottage that is probably as far down the Clyde as on can possibly go without actually being…
