STOP! Wait! I want you to provide the picture – a picture in your head – a mind picture!! Today it is not a photo I want to show you – it is a photo I want you to conjure up in your imagination. For most people we all have memories of stuff that has…
“Winds died down a tad” – BAM – Face first right in the nettles!!
Anyway – on the day of the royal wedding we ended up heading to the Clyde to get away from the madness. The forecast looked positive and we were full of hope on the journey down – it was overcast and it looked like it was going to heat up gradually. Even when we parked…
Weekly Water Photo – 17 of 52
I just spent the last few hours backing up all my photos – I have around 28gb starting around 2003 which is when I acquired my first digital camera. A more recent one was taken by fishing buddy Campbell back in July 2009 which I never published on the blog because….well it is of me. Anyway…
More Kelvingrove Carnage Video – Royal Wedding London versus Glasgow
Personally I am glad I was nowhere near – instead I was receiving a face full of nettles at the Clyde – more on that hilarious story later!
Massive Rammy on the Banks of the Kelvin!(Warning bad language and violence)
While everyone else was either fishing or watching the Royal Wedding some folk decided to have a riot down in Kelvingrove Park on the banks of the Kelvin – the party was organised on facebook and ended with mounted police charging party goers.

Support your local Urban Fly Fisher!
It is my birthday today (Easter Monday) and it is a nice chilled out day with the family. I plan to do some urban fishing tomorrow with Theo Pike and then some non urban stuff on Friday all going well. Reader numbers have jumped in the last month or so – probably due to the start of…
Weekly water photo – 16 of 52
I decided it was time my sun flowers were outside – the boy helped me dig the holes. I am hoping there will be no more frost. The next thing to go out in the garden is my tomato plants – I still need to buy a grow house though! I have actually been scouring…
A bloody great hole in my foot!
So just after I had sent my waders for a full hole repair job to Diver Dave I then spent a few nervous trips thinking I had a leak – turned out it was just the cold and not creeping water in my nether regions. Anyway, last time I was out I noticed a distinct…
Combined Trip Report
A very hit or miss couple of weeks on the Kelvin for me – I have not been able to fish anywhere else due to work and time commitments. You have got to be on the river at the right time and be in the right place as soon as a hatch starts. One guy…
