(Preamble – The River Kelvin Angling Association Secretary (Paul Reid) has resigned – this started with Paul wanting anglers to cease set lining and using rod rests on the river. This was seen (I think) as a fly versus other methods vendetta (even though Paul is a metal flinging barbarian) and caused a great deal…
Good job I found my lucky hat!
A mornings Piking produced one fish, a sodden crotch and a broken rod – good job I found my lucky hat or there could have been some serious casualties that’s all I can say. I wanted to be at the water before the hint of dawn however fishing buddy was not made of the same…
Urgent:Lost Lucky Hat – Huge Reward*!!
I have looked everywhere – in my car, in all my fishing bags, behind my fishing books, under my bed etc. – some of you even got a text message – That is right – it is the news of the year week moment – I have lost my lucky green fishing hat. You see this is no mere…
Belter of a Session!
While all you suckers were out working last week I took the day off and ended up with a mid week belter of a session on the Clyde – overcast and warm conditions (the river was also a little high and coloured) meant I caught around 2 dozen trout on the dry fly between 1000…
Fishing in Lilliputian Style!
Fished a tiny stream on Sunday – the day was warm with a forecast of rain – it began to cloud over by midday – the rain never arrived. The stream was in a gorge and for once there was no burnt out cars (although strangely still an exhaust). I fished with Paul the KAA…
A Good Days Fishing?
For some folk a good days fishing involves a look at some flowers, casting a dry to a rising trout or two – maybe even a nip of whisky. Every inch of mono is safely put away in a pocket to be disposed of later so that the riverside is not polluted ! For others…
Alas Griff Rhys Jones
I never really found Griff Rhys Jones funny even when he was part of Alas Smith & Jones – the other guy was always funnier – the fat one. So I did not find it in the least bit funny when Jones asked canoeists and boaters to disrupt the enjoyment of anglers who are minding…
Why?
I recieved an email (no name or contact details so fair game in my book) which I found kinda puzzling: Why, you have so readily popularised fishing on river kelvin or was it inevitable, point being, banks of river even more populated by buckie swilling dope smoking idiots, fishing size 6 trebles on Sunday for…
And Now For Some Great Scottish Muzic!
Ok – I am away on holidays for a bit – hopefully catching Bass, Mackeral and Sea Trout off the Cornish Coast or quite possibly catching Carp, Roach and Tench in a stocked pond. So, no posts for a bit however I thought I would push you to buy some Scottish bands which I think…
Dean the Diving Decorator
Thanks to Stuart B in the forum for finding this little gem from the BBC I Player Wildlife documentary. Dean is a painter and decorator by trade, but he dreams of being a wildlife cameraman. He’s spent the past few years filming in a freezing flooded quarry in Leicester. Although he’s an amateur, Dean’s footage…
