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 –…
Kelvin AGM 2011 – Outcomes!
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…
Weekly water photo – 5 of 52
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!

Weekly Water Photo 02 of 52
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…
