I decided I needed a new pair of wading boots at the start of the season. I discovered I had some cash on my Glasgow Angling Centre card so decided that the time was right to splash out. So I bought myself a pair of Scierra X-Tech CC6 wading boots with felt soles and then stuck…

Today I visited the GAC open day….
I missed it by a day!
Heat!
We have now entered the longest spell of hot weather since 2006 and by heck the rivers (and fishing) show it. This weather is only good for one thing. The level of the Kelvin has dropped significantly and even in the last week the Allander dropped even further to a proper trickle. The Salmon boys…
A weekend of fishing and children related activities!
Sadly due to the fact my four year old knew there was a soft play around the corner I did not get much of a chance to really enjoy the experience of the Glasgow Angling Centre Open Weekend. My idea of fun and his are two totally different things. Paul Young got him a shot…
Kelvin AGM Madness, Glasgow Angling Centre U Turn on Wader Warranties and other Random Acts of Violence..
I am man enough to admit I was a wee bit nervous about the Kelvin Angling Association AGM – I mean, up on that stage in front of a couple of hundred intellectuals ready to start an intense debate on the finer points of the books and river management. I was thinking maybe that the members…

What NOT to do if you ever go to the Glasgow Angling Centre open weekend
Okay so it is my first weekend free after being back at work – I wanted to continue my anglingtastic extravaganza after the Friday nights shenanigans so I visited the Glasgow Angling Centre today as it was the open day – tragically it all went horribly wrong – as usual I have worked out how…
Glasgow Angling Centre – Open Weekend 27th, 28th Feb & 1st March 2009
Another season is fast approaching and of course this means another open weekend at the Glasgow Angling Centre. The visit will be worth it alone just to meet John Wilson – sheer comedy value! Anyways, along with the usual fun and frolics (click on the picture above), in conjunction with Merlin Unwin, publishers of Chris Mann’s…
