Two trips, one to a local burn with work buddy to catch micro trout and one to Highland river to be destroyed by the midge. We fished a few pools as their was a nice amount of water in wee burn. We fished fish about and we had a lot of interest from every pool….
Grab it when you can – in other words missed opportunities turn out all right in the end.
Last night I had a chance to go after trout on the Kelvin however totally blew it. I had just helped my wife from the Dentist (afterwards she had fainted) when I realised I suddenly found myself with a couple of hours spare and my old stomping grounds of the Kelvin with no doubt plenty of…
What is this?
I was fishing using a wee jig off a breakwater when I again caught a fish – this one was even bigger than the other one. I had cast out and twitched it back , the fish had slammed into it and put a fair old bend in my rod. I sent the picture to…
First steps with LRF
So to be honest my first steps with[amazon_link id=”B00R1IQDG4″ target=”_blank” ]LRF (2 Piece) – Black, 6.9 ft[/amazon_link] has been pretty shit.

New net finally christened.
It has been slow on my fishing front due to the imminent arrival of my third son as I could not travel very far and now of course he has arrived which causes additional fishing difficulties. If you are a pal on Facebook you will have seen the photos. However, the planets aligned and today…

Kelvin comes up trumps….
I was walking to the river when I realised that I had forgotten my new net. Luckily I dd not need it anyway however the Kelvin has been throwing up enough surprises to make me think about it as I walked down. I have not fished for trout at all this year and I was hoping…
I bought a weird net!
I bought a weird net off Ebay – I have no idea what I am doing ! I keep thinking about Wrasse! I may be having some kind of breakdown!
A Desolate Wasteland
I am getting my shit together in preparation for this season. I don’t yet feel that I am in a position to get out there and start fishing again yet. Sure some people have been catching fish but after a brief week or so of mild weather we have been plunged back in to winter…
House of Bruar Single Malt
I have only been into the House of Bruar shop a few times and have always kinda liked it. My wife has always wanted to stop and shop when we have been heading North so she can look at the clothes. I get to skulk off to the fishing section to have a waggle of the…
