Found a fantastic blog – Fly Fishing the River Irwell and other Streams Some of the pictures remind me a lot of the Kelvin. With the fantastic line of “Three fish rising here caught none of them.” That is the kind of report that I think we can all relate to! Bravo!
Well, that was the season that was!
Where did it end eh? I know for some of you guys it was awesome! I know for some of you guys it was shite! For me it must have been the most varied, shortest and most frantic in the history of this old creaky blog. Instead of being highs and lows it was almost…
Outraged in Kirkintilloch
Someone who I will call Mr. Outraged made a complaint on the official Kelvin Facebook page the other day and I thought I would share it with you as quite frankly it made me splutter over my coffee that someone had the audacity to not share my views on the internet roll my eyes that…
Quick Visits…

Double Trouble Tubetastic
I was allowed out of work an hour early so managed to get to the loch before Alex who was stuck doing some grueling task imposed no doubt by people who do not understand the needs of an angler. I blew up the bladders in the tube for its maiden voyage of the year and…
Brief Rod Waving
I had a blank at the LRF while on a short session on the way home from work – I stopped off at a popular spot with divers a couple of hours before high tide and was glad to have it to myself. I found that sea weed was being blown into my shore which…
Quick!
I managed a quick session down at the breakwater – I met a chap (Glen) who fishes with the legendary Frenchman Nicholas from the Glasgow Angling Centre and we exchanged some info. A chap walked past me and headed to the furthest away point after Mackerel while I hung about at the rocks. I was…
