Kamasan b100

31 December, 2006 by Alistair

I was visiting the Glasgow Angling Centre the other day with Mike and we got around to discussing hooks as you do when you meet up with any angler in the close season. Discussions in the close season all come around to fishing eventually, usually a lot more in-depth conversations are to be had during…

Rain, rain and a bit more rain (with some extas)

13 December, 2006 by Alistair

If you do not live in Scotland then I don’t have to tell you the weather has been bad. For my international readers I can tell you the Scotland is stuck with an area of low pressure that is causing wild winds, torrential rain, thunder n lightning (with hailstones) and generally making fishing impossible.

Ask me a question, on you go… ask!!

29 October, 2006 by Alistair

Ok, I am taking questions, this is not because I have ran out of things to write about (honest) but because it is now the close season and it would be nice to know what my punters (you) want to know. Of course you might think I am some kind of expert in angling or…

4 September, 2006 by Alistair

So I have been hearing mixed views on the death of Steve Irwin the infamous crocodile hunter. For some, it was an accident waiting to happen for a reckless adrenalin junkie who was just in it for the cash and for others it was a tragic accident that robbed the world of a dedicated Australian…

Flying Ants!

26 July, 2006 by Alistair

Not done any fishing as it has been too damn hot and my driving lessons seem to be getting in the way of things. However, other anglers have been on the water and are seeing roughly the same amount of fish as I am- namely doodly squat. Alex sent me this rather nice picture of…

Fisherman dies in river accident

18 July, 2006 by Alistair

Sad, very sad indeed, you might remember I was going to fish the Tummel last weekend. An angler who died after being swept down a river in Perthshire has been named by police. Father-of-three Gordon Robertson was on holiday with his wife and children when he was pulled under the water in the River Tummel…
