So the end of the season is almost upon us, I fished the middle Clyde on Saturday for a few hours – there was plenty of flies on the water but the trout appeared to have other things on their minds. I caught one trout on the nymph, a lovely trout that was very dark…
William Joseph in the dock
Ozarks Angler writes about a review he wrote for a William Joseph bag he bought a couple of years ago. Very Interesting article – makes you wonder just how much testing the William Joseph company actually did?
Givin’ it a lick, ye see…
Someone asked me to elaborate on the conversation I had with the farmer regarding the cows drooling on my car. I am not a big fan of cows; I don’t trust anything which looks as if it could trample you to death. Sure, I am told they are docile but I don’t want to be…
When Enough….Is Enough !
Arrived at the river around 0830, there was a nip in the air although an occasional blast of sunshine heated me up nicely as I walked along the river bank. I met another angler ambling along the bank towards me – we exchanged pleasantries – it turns out he was going to fish bait –…
31 days of the season left…
31 days left, without looking at my callander that must mean around 4 weekends – or 8 days possible if I don’t take any holidays. Considering I need to spend at least one day with my other half that leaves around 4 possible days left fishing for trout. Depressing isn’t it? No way did I…
Well, if that was the Summer…

Bamboozled
I wish I was cool like Tom over at Trout Underground who seems to have just about everything made out of bamboo these days. He recently wrote about a bamboo helmet which is the perfect headgear for fly fishing’s legion of “Chuck & Duck Purists.” I wish I had something else made out of bamboo…
Milngavie Fly Dressers – Thursdays – Be there or do something else !
You know the finale of the season is approaching when you look out the window and notice it is getting dark at half past eight at night. The other sign is that you start getting emails regarding fly tying evenings which will be starting up for the winter. Again I will be popping along to…
Tackle found in Partick
Hello chaps, Recieved a contact from a Kelvinator who states he has found some tackle in the Partick area next to the river – if anyone knows who it belongs to then please get in touch – I am assuming of course anyone who has lost the item will know what it is and will…
Mayfly Hatch Video
Now, this has got to be one of the best educational videos I have seen yet – two guys pulled along on their boogey boards by a speed boat – as they stop – “Check it out —–MAYFLY” The Angling Exploration Group could learn a thing or two from these guys. Check it out
