As many of you know I visit a few forums on the net and occasionally make comment on interesting stuff that takes my fancy. One of the newest forums that I did not include in my list of UK based roundup was the River Clyde Forum as back then it did not exist. I was…

Weekly Water Photo…..er 28,29 and 30
To be fair there has been a plethora of water photos over the last few weeks however I made a commitment damn it and it shall continue. The last two sessions I have been out after the green beasts I have blanked enjoyed looking at the scenery and marveling at mother nature and the last session I have not…
Bought a Whip!
So I have been thinking recently about how to get the boy interested in fishing. I have heard far too many stories about how fathers can stuff their hobby down their kid’s throat and thus put them off it totally. I certainly do not want to do that. I suppose there is no real correct or…
Comfy Feet on the Kelvin

Weekly water photo – 10 of 52
Passed over my shit pipe river today and it looked great – because all the trees have no leaves I can see lots of riffles and runs! Only a week until I can choose not to fish for trout – I will probably fish for pike first. Probably.
Fishing blogs I think kick ass!
To be honest I think loads of blogs rock however I thought I would highlight a few here that really shine for me. I wish we had some kind of fishing oscar ceremony to show off these guys however we don’t so you will just have to put up with me telling you. North Country…
