I love Grayling, I just hate people talking about them as if they were anything but a fish. I had chat with my pal Campbell about this on the phone as I staggered up the road from the train station home after a hard days grafting. Grayling fishing a few years ago used to be…

A boat for a hundred bucks and under?
I have been thinking of getting one of these blow up boats for farting around with the kids when I go on holiday. Also I was thinking about the possibility of taking it out on the canal to get to some of those hard to reach spots with the fly rod. I am looking at…
Fishing Sets?
Do people still buy fishing sets ? I ask because I have been answering some questions on the forums from new anglers (to the fly anyway) who are needing some advice about what stuff to buy etc and it made me a bit nostalgic. I can still remember my first ever “spinning rod” and fly rod –…
A weekend of fishing and children related activities!
Sadly due to the fact my four year old knew there was a soft play around the corner I did not get much of a chance to really enjoy the experience of the Glasgow Angling Centre Open Weekend. My idea of fun and his are two totally different things. Paul Young got him a shot…

Good session – phew!
After some back breaking work on the Kelvin putting a bridge across a ditch * I found I had a spare couple of hours to fish the Kelvin. I arrived at a spot I have only ever glanced at as I hurried past towards other pools however while I have been out for a run…
Sneaky Bastard!
To be fair the beast was only doing what the beasts do – looking at lunch! I walked along the Forth n’ Clyde Canal today – my plan was to take some photos of the works that have been carried out on the banks of the Kelvin however I befriended a pensioner who had walked…
Polaroid Review – a lie, a half true and a true story (and stop telling me how sexy I look)
In my professional opinion as an opinionated person on the internet, I feel able to give you some advice on what bits of fancy plastic you should put over your eyes. Seeing as how I can not just say “Buy these and stop telling me how sexy I look!” I need to place some words,…
