Managed an evening session after work on the Kelvin – a lovely warm evening with good temps right up until the bats were on the water. River is low however still plenty of trout taking off the surface. I was surprised that the colour of the water is quite dirty looking and not that clear….

Urban at it!
Considering I had tied up all those comparaduns it would have been plain rude not to actually use them. I got in the roasting hot car mid afternoon and headed up the motorway towards my shit pipe river. I knew that the part I wanted to fish was in a deep shaded valley so was…
