Lack of posts do not mean a lack of fishing – several trips to my highland river as well as Clydewards have occured however a lack of time means I am finding it difficult to write for pleasure. Two nights camping with the kids seemed ideal to get away from it all – just four…
A little bit of this…
Had several sessions over the last few weeks – I was out on a highland river the other night. The one where I had just bought my permit and then had to tank it up the road from in my previous post. Annoyingly, this time I had a totally free pass and as soon as…
Cowal Blunders & other havoc
After a blunder on the cowal peninsula in which I decided to not take any fishing gear with me on a day trip with the family despite being near some lovely rocks at high tide I was gagging for some action when I got home. I am on a week’s annual leave and the wife…
Billions of them

Ack Ack!
How come suddenly loads of bams in Scotland think they can go fishing because Boris is suddenly their Westminster master. He also said they should all go back to work but I’m not seeing a big rush to obey that little command.
This is totally shite!
What feels like an age ago and was in fact only a month or so ago life was fairly normal. Ever the optimist I was filling my trout box and sorting out my loch gear – I had tied a lot of fun wee spiky things and also collected loads of nymphs which were sure…
Stay at home
Treat people like they’re all infected with some virus that’s going to kill you and we’ll be over this in no time.
Kaboom – 2020 Trout Season
I have been busying away at the vice tying up wee spiky things and have also been sorting out my gear. Thanfully river trout fishing tends to lend itself to isolation so at least we have got that going for us!
