Eyelash Creatures….

Found this interesting
eyelash creature
Creatures living in your eyes….swimming about…eating.UGH!!!!

I might have known. I have had a good few people email me to say that they did exceptionally well at the weekend, great hatches of flies and when I eventually get my ass into gear today this is what i find
muddy water
Thats right, the water is the colour of mud and up about 3 feet over usuall. But aha, the Gods were not against me as I did not have my fishing gear with me I was just out for a walk, so at least I was not all ready to go as it were

Went for a walk, still seen some flies on the water, well that is not strictly true….I seen one fly.
There is always tommorow

Very Industrious Fly Tying!!

If I cannot get out and actually go fishing I have decided to pull my gear out and tie some flies….
area
Seeing as how my better half now uses the kitchen as an office I have had to use a tiny little table to tie up some flies….

Later on this evening I am going to tie some beetles and smoke a cigar. !

Gagging to go!!

So I have still not been out this year. I dont know what is holding me back seeing as howI am now actually off for a week. The last couple of days were pretty cold so I did not see much point but I got a text off someone who seemed to have a bit of a bonanza on the dry fly. Vowed to go out today but when I woke up it was pouring with rain…..

Typical…..absolutely typical. I am going to go to the Glasgow Angling Centre and wave about the sage rods instead. Then possibly go out for lunch. Spent a while yesterday in tying mode and tied a few dirty dusters in preperation for a hatch of olives…

On a similar theme to the last post I see I have just sped past the 10000 visitor mark. That is 10000 unique visitors, not to be confused with “hits” which can essentially be just a bot bumping into your site

Thats against ::Total Page Hits: 28948 in the last couple of months!

Seeing as how I have just discovered I am dyslexic its a wonder that any of you actually understand anything that I write !

Hey WOwzers!!

Just noticed that this little blog is sitting at number 30 of the top 100 blogs with regards to total hits from blogpatrol.
