Ok – so I managed to fanny up and not get around to posting my weekly water pictures however this time I actually have a decent excuse, in fact I have two of them. One – I have actually posted pictures of fish and two I could not upload photos to the blog from my…
I had forgotten…
Sometimes you forget something good that is right under your nose – For a few years I fished the same stretch of the Kelvin and got to know every nook and cranny there was to know – it was maybe a mile or so of water. That is in fact a lot of pools, riffles,…
Sunday evening – heading to some old spots on the Kelvin…
I decided to visit some of my older haunts on the river for a nostalgic trip down memory lane Maybe see you there!
Anglers Book of the Clyde on Ebay
Mind that book I told you about the other day? The one that nobody knows much about written by someone who nobody really knows? Well, even though Amazon have totally sold out there are around 10 copies for sale on Ebay. (Picture of book takes you directly to Ebay) You cannot go wrong – instead…
It was on my doorstep all along!
So I have been tying up some flees in preparation for some hot evening action. Reluctantly I took the advice (you can substitute advice for pretty much constant ribbing) from pals regarding the size of my flies. You see in the past I fished a place where a big bushy fly was a essential as…

Original Waldron on Ebay
What makes someone sell the vice they love? Who would go to the effort of obtaining a stunning piece of kit and then sell it – even give it to their son to sell. Is it not something to be handed down over the years – I know my JVice will always stay with me…
Friday Trout Trip – River of Shite!
So finally managed to get some fishing squeezed in amongst the madness of 2nd time fatherhood. With hindsight maybe I should have chosen a different river, I decided on the Shit Pipe River pretty much because it was far enough away to feel I was on a trip yet close enough to bolt home if…
Typical Days!
So a typical day just now is wake up and look out to see what kind of day it is and try and scope out if a couple of hours fishing is a possibility – this all depends on the weather, what fun family activities are planned, how the two kids slept and whether I…
