Urban at it!

5 June, 20226 June, 2022 by Alistair

Considering I had tied up all those comparaduns it would have been plain rude not to actually use them. I got in the roasting hot car mid afternoon and headed up the motorway towards my shit pipe river. I knew that the part I wanted to fish was in a deep shaded valley so was…

Blanked!

22 April, 2018 by Alistair

Saturday was hot and bright, however the kids were at a party and it meant that I had a few hours free to hit the Kelvin for my first river session of the year. Alas it was in vain.. I waded up to a nice long pool where after a few casts with the dry…

Grannom in the Kelvin?

17 May, 2009 by Alistair

I wish I had my wee sample bottle today – I am pretty sure I witnessed a hatch of Grannom in the Kelvin  – I kid ye not! In spring, the first sedge fly of real importance to river fishers is the grannom, and it causes great excitement both on chalk streams and on rain-fed rivers….

Impartial?

13 May, 200914 May, 2009 by Alistair

So my 2 minute post (that is how long it too me to write it) about the recent closing of the Robbie Red Ball site caused a bit of a stir among the Internet forums, members and non members of the Loch Lomond Angling Improvement Association as well as other blogs (more on that in…
