Tonight (Tuesday) was pretty good. I have been in communication with a reader who very kindly swapped his old Greys GRX for a filleting knife (I had to press the swapped part).

Back to the burn..
Back to the burn I fished the other day however no rod with me as it was just a recon mission. I had googled the burn on google maps and found a likely looking spot which I thought may have good access – turns out I was wrong,very wrong! There is no way anyone could…

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Three sessions my friends and each one could not have been any more different. You may have noticed it has been some days since I last posted and those living on this fine wee island will know that due to a lack of hurricanes the Gulf Stream has not been shifted South to give us…
Bleating on about the rain…..
I do not want to keep on bleating on about the rain however the weather appears to be a major talking and thinking point at the moment among river trout fishers. Seeing as how this blog was birthed during a spell of particularly wet weather when I was unable to fish you can imagine how productive I…
