I headed out last night for a few hours. I went straight to my local sea trout mark however a burn was running high and brown mud was pouring into the loch. I fished around it as much as I could however eventually decided to head elsewhere. The temp was hovering around 15 degrees however…
Like a Release!
Pretty much as soon as we were able to, I went fishing! During the whole lockdown my life pretty much did not change, it only got around 10 times harder. The family got up in the morning, got dressed – my wife went to work in the hospital and I dropped the kids off at…
Something I posted over at the Kelvin Fisher’s facebook page.

A tale of two fishing AGM’s
