Category: River Kelvin Fishing

Before the rain…

25 May, 2014 by Alistair

Fishing has been slow of late for a few reasons. One is that I have not had the chance to have my usual couple of hour sessions on the Kelvin due to living just too far out of reach to make it feasible. This will be less of an issue come July when the kids…

New fins arrived!

31 March, 2014 by Alistair

After what happened to Alex’s fins last week I decided to upgrade mine to a pair of diving fins – thankfully Hollis took pity on me and sent me a pair of these bad boys out to review.   I am looking forward to trying these bad boys out. To go with them I have…

Kelvin AGM this evening!

10 February, 2014 by Alistair

I used to think that Kelvin AGM’s were just a waste of time, now I actually look forward to them. I have now moved house and am settling in nicely, if anyone is wanting to give a house warming present some wood for the stove would be welcome 🙂 See you guys tonight !

Otterly Good!

23 August, 2013 by Alistair

Went fishing on the Kelvin after work for an hour. River at a great height and the color of strong tea without the milk. Caught nothing however lots of trout rising…. The undergrowth is now at its wildest and it is strange to think that the end of the season is on its way. I…

Good evenings fishing interrupted by chap with his jeans and pants at his ankles in the bushes, he coughed and tried to pull them up. I looked him straight in the eye and said “Awright Mate” He carried on and I fished the pool in front of him. It was all a bit awkward! I…

22 June, 201322 June, 2013 by Alistair

I encountered my first problem almost as soon as I got to the river – my camera was totally dead. The boy had been playing around with it earlier and I think that he must have left it on letting the batteries run dry, no matter I had my wee [amazon_link id=”B004MMF7RI” target=”_blank” ]Kodak PlaySport Zx5[/amazon_link]that…

Why are all my rivers weirdly white just now?

12 June, 2013 by Alistair

I had an evening on the Kelvin the other night with the mighty Jim Burns, we both blanked or if we did catch a trout it was nothing to write home about. We fished until dusk and then had a spot of action lasting 20 mins, even though trout were rising we managed to not…

Life and Fishing!

6 June, 2013 by Alistair

It has been a busy week or so in this neck of the woods. I have managed a few last minute sessions on the Kelvin and they have all went well with a few trout caught. Nothing of the size of last week’s mighty brute but nice trout none the less. The Yellow Mays are…
