They say it is a brave angler that goes on the Kelvin on a Friday night – tonight I think I was a lucky one. In the bushes they could not see me although I could hear them – they were obviously very drunk and shouting and fighting with each other. “Keeeeeeeeeelly – fur fucks…
Exploring the Kelvin
I have mentioned this book before however every now and gain I like to mention it again. I regularly dip in and out of this book any time I see something about the area of the Kelvin i do not understand – like where Mills were for example – it does not just tell you about the Mill it…
Unfinished Business…
So the trout on the Kelvin are largely responsive throughout the day at the moment, which is pretty shit as my fishing opportunities are in the evenings. Usually as a trout angler you do not want blazing sunshine throughout the day however at the moment it would be great to head out at 8pm and…
My wading boots are causing my jip!
My friends, there are two kinds of breathable waders, those that leak and those that are just about to leak – my own breathable waders (my 3rd pair, I have got to admit I do well) are now struggling however I can put up with a weird wet patch on my leg and a wet foot (actually it is…
Cold Comfort!
The weather turned on Monday evening – during the day the temp was up around the high twenties and then in the evening they plummeted down to just into the teens. It was windy too and it was not a warm wind, it was an evil cold wind that thoroughly stopped the action. Well, if…

Camped a night at loch Lomond – midge madness !
Two views , one of the view from the camp ….. And one of my leg in the morning when the evil little bastards descended on me as I was packing the camp up ! If you have never experienced the Scottish midges I assure you it is the quickest route to madness that one…
A View from the Chair.. (The Ultimate Urban Fisher Accessory)
Oh the Kelvin fishers, I just love them. What makes this whole scene a lot more comedic is when you realise the bench is in fact in the middle of a weir… It takes the whole “Fuck You”approach to the step between casts rule – this area is actually quite heavily fished, I can only think that…
