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…
Anglers Book of the Clyde?
Well this book snuck up on Clyde fishers everywhere – it seems to have slipped on the scene without any kind of fanfair at all – I suppose it is a fly tying book so does not get the same treatment as say….Harry Potter but still #grin# (image is an affiliate link to Amazon) …

Beer is made from water right? Last night I decide that instead of collapsing into my bed at nine I would get the vice out and tie up some flies. I had a practice run the night before and managed one parachute, last night I managed half a dozen small cdc olives for the picky…
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…

A month off work – so why no fishing?
So I have two weeks “paternity leave” and two weeks “annual leave” – of course before number two child was born I was sneakily thinking about fishing opportunities however the best laid plans are always totally blasted out the water by sleep deprivation and a doubling of family duties. It has been a bit of a double…
Thanking you guys!
A quick thanks to everyone who has sent me congratulations via the comments or email – I have hardly had a chance to get on the computer never mind make a post or join in the forum banter. I had this dream that I may manage a few days off trout fishing while I am…

Pro Fucking Tip: If your pregnant wife is 3 days over her due date and she gives you permission to go fishing no matter what the conditions you just go – no questions! Got that? Good! Let us continue… Cold and blustery – temps hovering around 12-14 degrees – I seen some Yellow Mays, Sedges…
