Kelvinography (back of a truck)
We have not had one of these in while I said to myself as I took this picture when I was stopped at some traffic lights. As you can see, a company has decided to call themselves after the mighty K. Kelvinography is the name of spotting stuff named after the Kelvin.
People!
I have met hundreds of people fishing the Kelvin over the years. All different types of people and all from different backgrounds. I have met guys who are super intelligent and people I am surprised that they managed to negotiate their way on to a bus to get to the river. I have met arrogant guys…
2012 Trout Season – you were like a batshit crazy girlfriend!
That is correct, you were like a crazy girlfriend. On one hand you promised so much (the sex was good) however on the other you turned up at crazy times at my house and made unreasonable demands. You were like two separate people, the problem was the crazy part far outweighed the good part. The good part of the relationship…
So this is the last day?
So this is what the last day of the season looks like? I say “season” however on the Kelvin it was pretty much half a season. The trees still have leaves and the invasives are still still kicking around. The river looks perfect to be honest, it looks that lovely full up way. It has a nice…

I have had the same pair of walking boots for over ten years. They have seen me through walking when I have been at work, walking to Uni, up and down countless hills and have been on many a fishing trip when waders have not been required. In my mind they still look prefect and…
This is how a burn dies…
Aye, you know it is Autumn when you get to a burn and some shopping trolleys are emerging on the banks. I arrived at the burn and quickly set up my wee Tenkara outfit. The burn was at a good height and I fished a few pools without any success. This was weird however I…
Rained Off.
I got to the river at around 6pm, it was up around a foot an running a dark color. There was some visibility in it as pointed out by John in the comments so I was kinda hopeful as I started. I wanted to try out the Tenkara rod that I had swapped for an ad in the…
Back to the wee burn…
I have really been enjoying the wee burn that I discovered a few weeks ago. It is strange as I have worked near it for years and have always wanted to have a cast on it for just as long and it is only now that I have finally got around to it. I am now…
On being asked for a permit..
The river remains best suited to Salmon fishers after another downpour of rain. Just to show that a committee members life is not all cocaine fueled wild parties here is an image of a meeting in the Islay Inn involving some of the committee members discussing recent events on the river. The Islay Inn in case you did not know is the…
