The Phenomenon

8 July, 2006 by Alistair

I always get paranoid when I take someone new to the Kelvin. I could have had weeks of fantastic fishing, all my hot spots throwing fat trout at me and the Kelvin behaving like, well, the Kelvin. And then I take someone who has never fished it and not only do they blank, but I…

As ever when I go out for a wander and take some photos I always end up showing some here. Here is a picture of a rather nice fallen tree on one of the little beaches on Loch Lomond and here is a washed up log… we found lots of things actually. There was a…

Loch Awe!

1 July, 2004 by Alistair

So I went to loch Awe on Sunday their, a cracking day on a lovely loch with good company and fantastic scenery (you can tell I didnt catch anything) I was in a boat with Alberto and Emanuele. Emanuele was a bit of a novice in a boat like myself but Alberto kept us right….
