A Desolate Wasteland

1 April, 2015 by Alistair

I am getting my shit together in preparation for this season. I don’t yet feel that I am in a position to get out there and start fishing again yet. Sure some people have been catching fish but after a brief week or so of mild weather we have been plunged back in to winter…

Shaking off the cobwebs!

18 March, 2014 by Alistair

It has been an interesting couple of months, I find myself thinking remarkable un-urban thoughts such as where can I get firewood and don’t the stars look nice without their usual haze of urban street lighting.

Gary Wingate (Game fishing manager or something like that)  had asked me if I was coming down…

Success and Failure!

15 March, 2012 by Alistair

Lets start with the failures shall we – so I popped into the Glasgow Angling Centre on my way home from work to buy some replacement felt soles (they don’t sell em’) and to drop off some Kelvin permits only to find it was the first day of the “open weekend”. I am glad it was a…

What NOT to do if you ever go to the Glasgow Angling Centre open weekend

28 February, 200928 February, 2009 by Alistair

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…
