So I decided I needed some contact with other anglers and the best place for that was at the fly tying class along at Milngavie (rather than standing in the freezing cold chasing Grayling, some people might say actual fishing for a change) – an added bonus was that Jim from Palewatery was visiting to…
Kelvinography – Kelvin Court
Submitted by Jim (lazy get’ could not even take a new picture and that is with him being a fancy pants photographer) Kelvin Court, viewed from beneath the railway bridge in Great Western Road, 1955. [singlepic id=96 w=320 h=240 float=center] Designed by J N Fatkin of Newcastle, Kelvin Court was built 1937-1938 and consisted of…
Mechanic Needed Urgently!
Need work on Motor – will pay in cash and flies! (and possible sweet spots)
It is cold – I want to see an olive.
One month until the start of the season and it is still very cold. I am currently wondering if the temperature is going to rise and give us a good start to the season. The first fly we should all be looking out for are “Large Dark Olives” – an absolutely lovely wee insect: The above…

Kelvinography – kinda!
I am assuming that hardly anyone happened to see the Kelvin Angling Association in the news probably because the only people that knew about the opening day event were the people that were there – nothing sinister – STV just dont give much notice about whether they will give you air time or not. However…

Kelvin AGM – Faith Restored!
This will be a quick post as I drove to the AGM directly from the airport and am currently sitting in bed writing this. My faith has been resolved in that when the push came to shove the members of the Kelvin Angling Association agreed that the only way forward was to keep the current…
Kelvinography – A boozer and a couple of birds!
Two photos kindly submitted by Peter D in the forum – A boozer called “Kelvin Dock” and then a photo of the actual “Kelvin Dock” with a couple of what looks like giant vultures waiting to steal some fish next to it (you can post if you know what the birds are) [singlepic id=95 w=320 h=240 float=center]…
Urban Fly Fisher’s alternative Newsletter for the 2010 AGM
Seeing as how I do not get a spot to say my piece in the Newsletter before the AGM I thought I would post it here – also I get to say whatever the hell I want as I am no longer an office bearer – sweet! Having a baby has really affected how much time…
