Had a look on my OS Map that covers Bearsden but at 2.5 inches to the mile it doesn’t give enough detail ….I’m not sure where exactly Bearsden Cross is

Point taken,
i also faild to consider that the fish were further away from my face thus giving a double illusion of size.(lol)

yea think it goes under some flats, but there are fish there i will give it a try and get back to you ive not got a clue where it starts, perhaps kilmardiny loch??

Remember as you get bigger the fish seem smaller – I think I know the burn you are talking about, does it run along the houses and there is driveways built over it?

Hi Guys,
There is a small burn thst runs through Bearsden cross(not sure of the name ), but as a small boy i used to see fish in it , to large for minnows and to bold to be trout, can anyone shed light on this water? its between the church and the llibrary.

cheers

Hi Willie – will look it up on a map and send you an email – by the way any startling finds in the Allander last time you electrofished it ?

In other matters maybe you could confirm or rubbish the rumours about Dace, Roach, Barbel and Grayling (I really doubt the last one) as I have never seen or caught any – people keep turning up on th eblog and saying they are all being caught.

Alistair,

Did you ever follow up the (maybe) fishless wee burn. Where was it? We might be able to electrofish it this summer to confirm (or not). You’d be welcome to come with us. Hope all well,

Willie Yeomans

Started tying my own flies this season,after the ang.centre price fiasco.I was shown 6 patterns by an old neighbour(3dry&3wet)in sizes #14-#18. and each and every one has caught on the Kelvin so far.Biggest fish `til now,1lb 11ozs,and at least a doz. about or just over the lb mark.This is fast becoming the best season on the Kelvin yet.
