I attended an online AGM for a local fishing club – there was less than a dozen folk on the call and it was mostly made up of actual commitee members. I was one of two ordinary members that rocked up. When we got to the near the end of the session they asked if…

A funny thing happened on the way to the fish market.
It was Saturday night and I was sitting in the Flip Out cafe in Glasgow – I took the kids there to burn off some steam. I was feeling a bit edgy as several folk had been coughing harshly and there was a lack of mask wearing. You may think I am being hyper cautious…
Something I posted over at the Kelvin Fisher’s facebook page.
Hiya, I have been fishing the Kelvin now for over twenty years and writing about fishing it over at urbanflyfisher.com for the majority of that time. I was the main drive towards “social media”for the Kelvin – some of you can remember the infamous Kelvin Forum wars we had and some of the characters we…
Seeing them out – the demise of the fishing blog and the rise of the Facebook ignoramus keyboard warrior.
Last week saw a somewhat lively, but productive, Club meeting held during which certain memories touted as fact by some members were proved incorrect, and the misconceptions held by some others dispelled. Thank you to all who attended, it was good to clear the air, though unfortunate that some of those who were the most…
Cortland Desire 10 foot 7 weight Review
So I was offered the Cortland Desire 10 foot for a 7 weight rod for review by Keen’s Tackle and Guns and it came kind of a surprise as I did not even know that Cortland make rods. The rod was the princely sum of around £50 which places it just above the budget conscious buyers…

Commercialisation of fly fishing, guides and discarded blogs!
I thought I would have a gander around at the state of the UK fly fishing blog scene seeing as how the forerunner of US blogs “The Trout Underground” has now packed it in. It makes me all nostalgic for the past, about all the blogs that I have seen come and go over the…
Shaking off the cobwebs!
It has been an interesting couple of months, I find myself thinking remarkable un-urban thoughts such as where can I get firewood and don’t the stars look nice without their usual haze of urban street lighting. Because of all this I was thinking of re-branding the blog again, not that I won’t be fishing urban but…
Mid Season Review
It is doing ok. It could be better; a lot better however it could be a lot worse like last summer when it was just totally shite. What we need right now is some rain to liven thing sup a bit, not the torrential months lasting kind more the couple of days “just enough to…
New season, new forum, new other stuff.
Welcome friends to another season on The Urban Fly Fisher! This is now my tenth year writing this pish diary of musings and I must say I am not in any great hurry to end it. As long as i continue to make new friends and folk keep mailing me I will keep on writing. Something…
