I notice that my Suunto Watch is now at the bargain price of £116 over at the Polimil Factory Shop It is a sweet piece of kit which apart from being a watch also includes a compass, barometer, altimeter and increases your ultimate sexiness by a factor of ten. One of those was a half truth however…

Otterly Good!
Went fishing on the Kelvin after work for an hour. River at a great height and the color of strong tea without the milk. Caught nothing however lots of trout rising…. The undergrowth is now at its wildest and it is strange to think that the end of the season is on its way. I…
So I happened upon a man masturbating in the park the other evening..
Good evenings fishing interrupted by chap with his jeans and pants at his ankles in the bushes, he coughed and tried to pull them up. I looked him straight in the eye and said “Awright Mate” He carried on and I fished the pool in front of him. It was all a bit awkward! I…
Thunder n’ lightning, very very frightening!
So I managed a sneaky wee flexi day from work today purely because of a childcare issue so I was presented with the opportunity to check out the Kelvin as it has pretty much been unmolested from me for a week or so. For anyone that does not live in Glasgow here is the weather…
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…

The Luggie, the Kelvin and a lost phone!

Ladies & Gents, we have a CRIMP!
I attended a meeting up at Glasgow University a while ago, it was hosted by Willie Yeomans and was introducing CRIMP. CRIMP is a citizen science project which aims to provide training in riverfly monitoring to volunteers across the eight counties of the River Clyde catchment. Riverfly monitoring can help protect the quality of our rivers;…
Life and Fishing!
It has been a busy week or so in this neck of the woods. I have managed a few last minute sessions on the Kelvin and they have all went well with a few trout caught. Nothing of the size of last week’s mighty brute but nice trout none the less. The Yellow Mays are…
