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…

Nae Comparaduns Left
It was a Wednesday I can tell you that much – because that is my fortnightly non working day. What that means is that while the kids are at school and my wife is at work I can actually go fishing for the day. What this also means is that I kinda need to go…
Infamy, infamy, they have all got in infamy!
I attended an online AGM for a local fishing club – there was less than a dozen folk on the call and it was mostly made up of actual commitee members. I was one of two ordinary members that rocked up. When we got to the near the end of the session they asked if…
A funny thing happened on the way to the fish market.
It was Saturday night and I was sitting in the Flip Out cafe in Glasgow – I took the kids there to burn off some steam. I was feeling a bit edgy as several folk had been coughing harshly and there was a lack of mask wearing. You may think I am being hyper cautious…
Brownlining the shit pipe!
Before I left the house I noticed that my felt sole was coming off my Orvis Wading boots – I think I have worn them a couple of dozen times and never in the salt so the fact the sole is hanging off is annoying. Not having any evostick I just used some glue I…
It is getting old..
Only one person agrees with me that the summer is old and weary – even on the hottest sunny days the sun feels lower and there is a sense of decay and coldness on its way. I hit the Kelvin for a few hours after work the other evening, it was dusk at just past…
Kelvin – account opened.
OK, I do not actually have any photos of an actual fish so you are just going to have to take my word for it. My problem with taking photos of fish is that my camera is now my phone and it is fiddly opening the thing up to take a photo of a wriggling…
The Kelvin looked stunning today – no wonder Canal Scotland are stealing its water!
Seemingly Scottish Canals are having a spot of bother with a pipe somewhere – essentially a blocked pipe means that not enough water is getting into the Forth n’ Clyde canal. Paul Reid posted over on the facebook page: So two days ago I had a call from SEPA to say they identified the Kelvin…
How to get Urban Fly Fisher in your inbox
As I said a couple of days ago the system that I use to deliver posts to your email is shutting down. I told you that I was going to spend some time working out how to fix it – that process took around 10 minutes. However, it means that you have got to sign…
Are you subscribed by email?
There are several hundred folk subscribed to this old creaky blog via email and for this I thank you a lot. However the system I use to do this is coming to an end very soon. This means that I must move on to a different way of getting my sporadic posts to you via…
