Laptop is dead so do not expect any fancy posts for a while, this bad boy is being typed on my phone. Out for a run this morning and the Kelvin once more is in full spate. In the distance you can see the raging torrent that is the slush! I also could not help…
2012 Trout Season – you were like a batshit crazy girlfriend!
That is correct, you were like a crazy girlfriend. On one hand you promised so much (the sex was good) however on the other you turned up at crazy times at my house and made unreasonable demands. You were like two separate people, the problem was the crazy part far outweighed the good part. The good part of the relationship…
Milngavie fly dressers started..
..well, it was actually last week actually however I am just getting round to posting this just now due to shock at the trout season ending and a nasty bug AND a bloody sore back due to lack of movement. A triple whammy! Alberto says: The Milngavie fly dressing club goes from strength to strength…
So this is the last day?
So this is what the last day of the season looks like? I say “season” however on the Kelvin it was pretty much half a season. The trees still have leaves and the invasives are still still kicking around. The river looks perfect to be honest, it looks that lovely full up way. It has a nice…
So I visited the Glasgow Angling Centre on its Open Weekend.
And I enjoyed it. Never let it be said that I am a moany bastard who never looks on the bright side of anything, today I spent a good couple of hours in the Glasgow Angling Centre and thoroughly enjoyed my time. Gary Wingate (Game fishing manager or something like that) had asked me if I was coming down…
Broken SLT – returns process started.
So I mailed Gary Wingate at the Glasgow Angling Centre about my broken Sage SLT and the answer was “bring it in and we will deal with it for you” The Glasgow Angling Centre for folk not in the UK and the Americans is this islands biggest fishing shop, it is actually a nice place…
Another Kelvin Work Party – this Sunday!
From Fish Kelvin: Thanks to all those that attended on Sunday the 16th. We managed to open up another pool above Balmore Bridge, I look forward to hearing about the first Salmon caught from it. The days have been really productive (we have opened up several pools in the City and Balmore), so we intend…
Random Photo 2008
Since no fishing exploits here is a random photo from a whopping 4 years ago (it feels like yesterday) of Alex (pre beard) and Mike (Tamanawis) fishing down the Kelvin on a nice Spring morning. On either side of the river there are paths and this is in one of the major parks in Glasgow West End….
Walking Boots.
I have had the same pair of walking boots for over ten years. They have seen me through walking when I have been at work, walking to Uni, up and down countless hills and have been on many a fishing trip when waders have not been required. In my mind they still look prefect and…
