Not bad at all looking!

2 April, 2006 by Alistair

So I am ill. If I was not ill I would be trying to catch a trout on the Kelvin. Instead I got Claire to drive me to a spot and have a look at it.

It actually looks ok considering it has been raining the last week. It is at a lovely height, wee bit dark but give it a couple of days with no rain and a little sunshine and we should be in business.

Actually, now that I look out the window I can see a bit of sunshine, so maybe there will be a hatch coming off at the moment. Stick to around late afternoon for dry flies.

    Hi George,

    Boobies ? Sheep ?? For gods sake man get a grip and get some proper fishing done quick before all is lost 😉

    Alan,

    For shame, I think it was at this place that I first met you and we had a long chat about Clyde Style flies—–put it this way, there is usually a burnt out car sitting on this bridge, kinda felt funny without one if the truth be told !

    Mail me you moby number again !
