23 August, 2010 by Alistair

You would be forgiven with thinking that I have done pretty much no fishing over the last couple of weeks – you would in fact be wrong – I have had two trips after trout – one to my small shit pipe stream and one to the Clyde. The Shit Pipe Stream was weird –…

9 August, 2010 by Alistair

Busy is an understatement – with both family life and fishing.
