Gordon, picked this up for me in London last year. He gave it as a farewell gift before moving with his lovely wife, Vanese, to Bermuda to pursue grouper, jacks, and barracuda from his kayak, full-time. A great read it is! Hi, Alistair –

Can't say anyone has asked since. I was asked (maybe 6 or 7 years ago) to show my permit one Sunday evening. Can’t say anyone has asked since.

I understand that in certain areas this would be foolhardy at the very least, but i reckon that there is enough good water for all to enjoy and if some areas are populated by people fishing using illegal methods then so be it, it only means that the rest of the river where the best fishing is anyway will be left alone for those of us who persue our trout with fluff and feather. The only other alternative is a well organised team of baliffs who have real teeth to deal with the undesirables, and i don't see that happening. The river is full of trout and many of a good size, i reckon there's enough for all to enjoy. The future of the migratory stock is another matter and with gravid fish regularly being killed well into December by certain parties, future stocks could well suffer as a result of these practices The Kelvin can run perfectly well without the committee if the responsible fishers who fish the river report pollution incidents to SEPA and encourage evryone to buy a permit.

I think the AGM has still to happen - I doubt I will go - it only depresses me!
