A very hit or miss couple of weeks on the Kelvin for me – I have not been able to fish anywhere else due to work and time commitments. You have got to be on the river at the right time and be in the right place as soon as a hatch starts. One guy…

Congratulations – you made it!
Yay – you made it to another season – today is the first day of the 2011 trout season. Congratulations on making it this far – we all deserve a great big round of applause for fighting through yet another thoroughly miserable winter. From this moment on instead of being totally unable to legally fish…
Kids and the Kelvin kicks off!
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…
Did you know SEPA have a new river level data site?
Most anglers in Scotland have used Sepa’s pretty good river level site in the past and I reckon more folk will be using it even more in the future. There is a full update of the changes to the site here. For us on the Kelvin there are now three monitoring stations – the lowest down…

A jaunt up the Kelvin…Video Nasty!
Kelvinator Alasdair P posted a nice wee video in my Kelvin Forum of several of the runs and pools at the lower end of the river – pretty much from the Clyde and then up a few miles. He has very handily named all the pools and areas – If you do not fish the Kelvin…
Kelvin AGM 2011 – Outcomes!
So the Kelvin AGM was a lot of fun – if someone had told me a couple of years ago that we would have a strictly no kill policy for trout I would have thought they were havering but there you go. Someone who shall remain nameless who allegedly caught a 3lb brown trout and…
50 days to go..
That’s it lads – it is now (Monday) 50 days until the start of the trout season. The temps appear to be sitting above freezing now and there is a sun in the sky. In fact today we are getting 8 hours, 6 mins and 28 seconds of daylight. Conditions are possibly balmy (or possibly barmy)…
