Well, I went down to that stretch at Gibson Street again……here is a photo of the bridge… Now this is where I was told there was some good fishing…….I walked up the river a little…. Now is it just me or does that little run just look simply lovely. Anyway, I was getting quite exited…

I stopped off at the bridge on Gibson Street yesterday , as the guy that I had spoke to the other night had said that there was a few good fish sitting underneath it. I can imagine there is. It is a lovely looking piece of water , deep with an amazing glide. Pretty inaccessible…

I loathe going into angling shops. Whenever I can I buy my stuff online although today I went into the “Glasgow angling centre”. It was horrible, like a fishing stuff tesco.
