You can tell Autumn is coming, the signs are all there – a chill in the air, dark nights a coming, berries in the bushes and of course hair straighteners are in the trees.. Anyway, so I went for a walk through the park with the boys and most enjoyable it was too – it would have…

I actually visited a fishery this week with some guys from work (all of whom have brain injuries) – I was not fishing just helping out.

Weekly Water Photo – 32 (There is a pool I know)

11 August, 2011 by Alistair

There is a pool I know on the Kelvin – a few fishers know it (I know the infamous Jim Burns knows it) where the trout are plump, the water is deep and the casting is bloody difficult due to a steep bank behind you. The wading is also treacherous for someone as non nimble footed…

Beer is made from water right? Last night I decide that instead of collapsing into my bed at nine I would get the vice out and tie up some flies. I had a practice run the night before and managed one parachute, last night I managed half a dozen small cdc olives for the picky…

A month off work – so why no fishing?

6 June, 2011 by Alistair

So I have two weeks “paternity leave” and two weeks “annual leave” – of course before number two child was born I was sneakily thinking about fishing opportunities however the best laid plans are always totally blasted out the water by sleep deprivation and a doubling of family duties.
