So the Kelvin AGM was a lot of fun – if someone had told me a couple of years ago that we would have a strictly no kill policy for trout I would have thought they were havering but there you go. Someone who shall remain nameless who allegedly caught a 3lb brown trout and…

So I drove past shit pipe river yesterday – it was in full spate. Not long to go now before we can catch a trout! You can see the river between the trees! Questio: when does a burn become a river? At what point does your attitude change?
River Kelvin Angling Association AGM – this Thursday!
It is that time of year again – the infamous all swearing and general craziness that is the River Kelvin Angling Association AGM. I wonder what will happen this year? This is only the 2nd time in around 20 years there has been an agenda so lets have a look at it shall we? Alan…

I was out for a jog this morning and came across this rather brave heron. My route takes me along the canal so it must be fairly used to seeing folk. Usually when I see them and they see me on the Kelvin we are separated by a good hundred yards or so – this…
50 days to go..

Good grief – it is week two already (and the end of the week at that) of my weekly water photo. I thought this photo was pretty apt as the temperature has now risen and has stayed above freezing for a few days now – in fact the other day I got in my car…
Kelvinography – we need to talk..
Honorary Kelvinator Ben has been skulking around in bookshops taking photos of books to send in – he spotted this little gem: [singlepic id=111 w=400 h=600 float=center] We Need to Talk About Kelvin: What everyday things tell us about the universe – seemingly it is “A hugely accessible and entertaining exploration of the science of the…

Ok – so I am thinking that last years tenuous fishing photos were all maybe a wee bit abstract for even me to get to grips with – there were so many links that I found it difficult to choose one thing to take a photo of and then post which resulted in a brain overload…
