Urban Fly Fisher Kicks Ass!
Hello new and old readers – the spring appears to be springing (although we could have -15 temps back any moment).

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…

Weekly Water Photo – 6 of 52
Here is the next picture in my water photo series – this time of a stretch of the Kelvin … By heck it looks grim! Can you see the big black birds? Seemingly they eat lots of fish. They sit up their like big black vultures waiting to swoop down on some unsuspecting prey –…
