I was flicking through “Stream Thought” after the writer/photographer posted a comment here and noticed he had posted a a gem of a find ! It is a quote from a book on Sea Trout fishing: “Brown trout give themselves up to those with skill and salmon to those with money but the sea trout…
The dusk that never was…
I am all Topsy Turvy here – by this point I am usually fishing most evenings and have really got into the swing of things – instead I am having to pick and choose my fishing opportunities based on experience and knowledge – unfortunately the trout (and pike – see last post) have decided to mix…
The dawn that never was..
Up at 0300 on Saturday morning for a dawn raid on a Pike venue – dawn was scheduled for 0430 however when the guys came to pick me up just before 0400 (by jings early as well) the dawn was already in the sky – by the time we got to the venue it was…
Kelvinator Forum Meet and Greet (and fish obviously)

Grannom in the Kelvin?
I wish I had my wee sample bottle today – I am pretty sure I witnessed a hatch of Grannom in the Kelvin – I kid ye not! In spring, the first sedge fly of real importance to river fishers is the grannom, and it causes great excitement both on chalk streams and on rain-fed rivers….
The Kelvin has been stocked
The Kelvin was stocked the other night – check it out
Impartial?
So my 2 minute post (that is how long it too me to write it) about the recent closing of the Robbie Red Ball site caused a bit of a stir among the Internet forums, members and non members of the Loch Lomond Angling Improvement Association as well as other blogs (more on that in…
Shit Pipe River..
Sunday – it had been raining for three days so pretty much knew the Kelvin would be out of action. I considered a few other possibilities and decided the “river of pipes” was a possibility, I called it that as it has an extraordinary number of pipes over it – most if em’ shite pipes…
