It all comes together…

30 June, 2008 by Alistair

It was one of those days I have been waiting for. I have been watching the weather forecast like a hawk waiting for a slight respite in the rain and just a tad of heat. The river was the colour of weak tea, up around a foot and there was a howling gale which made…

Meetings!

27 June, 2008 by Alistair

I love surprises, I pass over this river on the way to a rehab centre – sometimes I have to go there for meetings when people are being discharged. Today I left my gear in the car so I could have a quick cast on my lunch break before the meeting. The water had a…

Brown water…

25 June, 2008 by Alistair

Hit a Kelvin tributary after work – turned out I was way too early to be thinking about it. It was a nice height – possibly a few inches too high but a very muddy colour. A good temp with plenty of flies around – could not catch any to identify them – would be…

What a Weekend – Sunday Sleep Debt

17 June, 200821 January, 2010 by Alistair

My head was pounding as I had only around a few hours sleep and was threatening to turn into a migraine – that happens when I go into sleep debt. However if I wanted the car I had to drop the wife off at her work. I wore my nightwear in the car for that extra…

Gems..

1 June, 2008 by Alistair

Slow Bank Holiday?

23 May, 200823 May, 2008 by Alistair

It was raining during the night and when I left for the river it was still spitting slightly, it was also overcast and possibly a little muggy – I did not feel the east wind which has been plaguing us for a couple of weeks now. I tried a new spot on the Clyde (on…

Grayling…in the cold, wind, occasional snow flurry…

23 March, 2008 by Alistair

Enormous Grayling – that is what I was told. I have been putting off going “proper” grayling fishing for a while now. Not because I do not like Grayling – I just don’t like fishing for them. I can think of better things to do with my Saturdays than standing waist deep in freezing cold…
