After some back breaking work on the Kelvin putting a bridge across a ditch * I found I had a spare couple of hours to fish the Kelvin. I arrived at a spot I have only ever glanced at as I hurried past towards other pools however while I have been out for a run [...] I went for a walk along the Kelvin today and was pretty shocked by two things.
