Anglers Book of the Clyde on Ebay

30 June, 2011 by Alistair

Mind that book I told you about the other day? The one that nobody knows much about written by someone who nobody really knows? Well, even though Amazon have totally sold out there are around 10 copies for sale on Ebay. (Picture of book takes you directly to Ebay) You cannot go wrong – instead…

Anglers Book of the Clyde?

24 June, 2011 by Alistair

Well this book snuck up on Clyde fishers everywhere – it seems to have slipped on the scene without any kind of fanfair at all – I suppose it is a fly tying book so does not get the same treatment as say….Harry Potter but still #grin# (image is an affiliate link to Amazon)  …

Original Waldron on Ebay

16 June, 2011 by Alistair

What makes someone sell the vice they love? Who would go to the effort of obtaining a stunning piece of kit and then sell it – even give it to their son to sell. Is it not something to be handed down over the years – I know my JVice will always stay with me…

Typical Days!

9 June, 2011 by Alistair

So a typical day just now is wake up and look out to see what kind of day it is and try and scope out if a couple of hours fishing is a possibility – this all depends on the weather, what fun family activities are planned, how the two kids slept and whether I…

A bloody great hole in my foot!

24 April, 201124 April, 2011 by Alistair

So just after I had sent my waders for a full hole repair job to Diver Dave I then spent a few nervous trips thinking I had a leak – turned out it was just the cold and not creeping water in my nether regions. Anyway, last time I was out I noticed a distinct…

Spring Pike!

27 March, 2011 by Alistair

Firstly to the gent in the boat who I possibly destroyed his last ten minutes of fishing by attempting to sidle past his bobbing float – a apologise profusely. Why am I doing it here? Because I think the gent may be a reader – after I shouted an apology he called me by my name – it was only later…

Kids and the Kelvin kicks off!

27 February, 2011 by Alistair

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!

21 February, 201121 February, 2011 by Alistair

Hello new and old readers – the spring appears to be springing (although we could have -15 temps back any moment). Just thought I would make a boring old post about housekeeping – don’t panic, do not run away you might actually hear something interesting and possibly slightly controversial – I know there are some…

Diver Dave’s Wader Repairs!

20 February, 20114 January, 2021 by Alistair

It is 22 days until the brown trout season opens – I am hoping to get out after Pike fairly soon however I have a bit of a problem – my waders have a bit of an evil leak in them. Not a horrific leak or anything but certainly a couple of creepers – one is…
