Where did it end eh? I know for some of you guys it was awesome! I know for some of you guys it was shite! For me it must have been the most varied, shortest and most frantic in the history of this old creaky blog. Instead of being highs and lows it was almost…

Brief Rod Waving
I had a blank at the LRF while on a short session on the way home from work – I stopped off at a popular spot with divers a couple of hours before high tide and was glad to have it to myself. I found that sea weed was being blown into my shore which…
Micro trout and midge madness
Two trips, one to a local burn with work buddy to catch micro trout and one to Highland river to be destroyed by the midge. We fished a few pools as their was a nice amount of water in wee burn. We fished fish about and we had a lot of interest from every pool….
Commercialisation of fly fishing, guides and discarded blogs!
I thought I would have a gander around at the state of the UK fly fishing blog scene seeing as how the forerunner of US blogs “The Trout Underground” has now packed it in. It makes me all nostalgic for the past, about all the blogs that I have seen come and go over the…
Glasgow Angling Centre Open Weekend

Dry Spell Continues!
So my dry spell continues despite a serious attack at the Pike yesterday. A wee lochan which has been on my radar for quite some time was finally accessed using the tubes. The lochan could not look any more Pikey – it was entirely reed and lilly pad lined. In fact getting into the loch…
Mixture…
I appear to have missed out posting some outings over the last few weeks however to be honest there has not been much to write home about. Usually time off work means extra fishing however after my family holiday to Holland I just never got around to heading out after trout. Well, that is not…
Friday Frolickers!
It was one of those days that had everything going for it – good pals, half decent weather and a fairly good fishing pass allowing me to access a few fishing spots. However, it turned out to be one of those days that turned into “its not just about catching fish” First up was a…
