RKAA Sucks!

6 January, 2011 by Alistair

Slagging off the people that are in control of your fishing appears to be in vogue these days (plus I need to try and get together my hosting fees) – so I thought I would jump on the bandwagon in my own, dare I say, capitalistic, style – yes that is correct you can now “buy the T-Shirt”…

For lovers of Crayfish everywhere!

27 November, 2010 by Alistair

Crayfish, Crayfish everywhere – maybe this is the kind of gear the Kelvin association should be selling – especially after the TV coverage of the news that the Kelvin has now been invaded by the beasts : (all pics are links to Amazon) Somewhere to hang your fishing jacket and hat..

RKAA – EGM Update

18 November, 2010 by Alistair

Just a quick update as I know there will be some people unable to attend the EGM. As EGM’s go it was pretty boring – no gunfights, no “dance off” between rival factions and only one heckler – and even he is a long gunmen who really should be given his own place on the…

Kelvin Angling Association EGM

16 November, 201016 November, 2010 by Alistair

Saturday Salmon..

10 October, 2010 by Alistair
