And now the Wild Fishing Forum is shutting down ..
The blogging fly fishing scene is pretty much wiped out these days. All the guys that started not long after me are now long gone and I appear to have outlasted most of the the other fishing bloggers that thought they would have a go. The blogs that I used to regulary visit are now…
Fly Fishing the River Irwell and other Streams
Found a fantastic blog – Fly Fishing the River Irwell and other Streams Some of the pictures remind me a lot of the Kelvin. With the fantastic line of “Three fish rising here caught none of them.” That is the kind of report that I think we can all relate to! Bravo!

The trouble within FORK?
Meanwhile, what the hell is going down with FORK? Dodgy bookeeping? The Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator has refered the Friend’s of the River Kelvin to OSCR Compliance. You will see this if you check out the OSCR website atwww.oscr.org.uk I assume this is due to the fact that FORK has not submitted audited accounts since…
Kids and the Kelvin – its lookin’ Grrrrrrrrrrreat!
I thought I would check in to see how the Kids and the Kelvin project is doing over at there site. Quite frankly I think it looks great fun – he has somehow managed to convince the Teachers that keeping a hatchery in the classroom and then releasing the fish into feeder streams is a…
