Mike writes a lovely post about our recent trip up North.
Gems..
Lots of rising trout, steady hatches of olive uprights from the moment I got there until I left and crawling around on all fours for almost two hours was just the thing I was needing after a week of hellishly bad illness – blew the old cobwebs away. Left me absolutely shattered and home by…
Fishing Urban Rivers
One of the things I like about fishing urban rivers is all the wee nooks and crannies you get to see which are right underneath people’s noses. Things that people don’t usually get to see just because they are walking along roads instead of underneath them. This was on the lower Clyde on the very…
