Interestingly there has not been the usual crowd of guys fishing the Kelvin this year for Salmon and the word on the street is the fishing for Salmon on the Kelvin has been = “total shite this year” (according to the chap in Dumbarton who owns the food shop and served me my roll n’…
Last Days….
The Summer is now into its old age and heading towards its grave – the leaves are falling off the trees and I had been hoping to have one final cast before the winter (and close season hit) – I also had a plan to clean the grime from my Salmon fishing exploits off my…
In Birmingham!
Out for a walk – wish I had my pike gear!
Consumer Lust…
I love gadgets and new “stuff” that I can use to get shit done. There are a few other things I am interested in apart from fishing and a few things I would like to get more interested in which I just do not seem to have time for. Now that the leaves are well…
I love it when a plan…God Dammit !

Weekly Water Photo 35 – Autumn?
You can tell Autumn is coming, the signs are all there – a chill in the air, dark nights a coming, berries in the bushes and of course hair straighteners are in the trees.. Anyway, so I went for a walk through the park with the boys and most enjoyable it was too – it would have…
Urban Fly Fisher – Banned from the River Clyde Forum!
As many of you know I visit a few forums on the net and occasionally make comment on interesting stuff that takes my fancy. One of the newest forums that I did not include in my list of UK based roundup was the River Clyde Forum as back then it did not exist. I was…
