Passed over my shit pipe river today and it looked great – because all the trees have no leaves I can see lots of riffles and runs! Only a week until I can choose not to fish for trout – I will probably fish for pike first. Probably.
Fishing blogs I think kick ass!
To be honest I think loads of blogs rock however I thought I would highlight a few here that really shine for me. I wish we had some kind of fishing oscar ceremony to show off these guys however we don’t so you will just have to put up with me telling you. North Country…
Weekly water photo – 9 of 52
The clyde is not all just about trout and salmon – battleships are also given birth on the river. This picture is not really that far from the entrance to the Kelvin.
Kids and the Kelvin kicks off!

Diver Dave’s Wader Repairs!
It is 22 days until the brown trout season opens – I am hoping to get out after Pike fairly soon however I have a bit of a problem – my waders have a bit of an evil leak in them. Not a horrific leak or anything but certainly a couple of creepers – one is…
24ish days until the season opens – buy this book as well!
