While everyone else was either fishing or watching the Royal Wedding some folk decided to have a riot down in Kelvingrove Park on the banks of the Kelvin – the party was organised on facebook and ended with mounted police charging party goers. Of course the problem stems from our Grand Leader David Cameron telling folk to…

Fish Kelvin Forum Gubbed + Virus Warning
(This is actually a post on the forum however I thought I would copy it as a post just in case) This is not going well – Ok – Paul K got in contact a while ago to say his Norton was playing up – saying that he got a warning when he tried…
Congratulations – you made it!
Yay – you made it to another season – today is the first day of the 2011 trout season. Congratulations on making it this far – we all deserve a great big round of applause for fighting through yet another thoroughly miserable winter. From this moment on instead of being totally unable to legally fish…
Kids and the Kelvin kicks off!
Cleaning out our rivers and trying to make sure the fish are a happy bunch is quite a selfish act for anglers. We have a vested interest in making sure the river is clean and healthy because we want there to be more fish for us to catch. We also do not like wading through…
Urban Fly Fisher Kicks Ass!
Hello new and old readers – the spring appears to be springing (although we could have -15 temps back any moment).

Ok Ok – Its January!
Its January, it’s cold and miserable and most of us have not caught a fish all year – it will probably be another few months before we will even see a snout of a trout. Last year the season started badly with freezing temperatures – all the trout were away hibernating or something. Then suddenly…
Happy Christmas/Winterfest (whatever)
I would like to wish all my readers are truly Urban Merry Christmas – or Winterfest or whatever it is people are calling this time of year – actually – looking back this is the first year I have called it Christmas for quite some time – must be something about having children. Anyway, have a…
Winter solstice … over the hump!
That’s it folks – we are over the hump. From now on the days are longer and we are heading towards spring – seeing as how it feels like yesterday we were fishing for the trout with dry flies I am hoping that spring will zoom upon us equally as fast ! http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/december-solstice.html
