Wonky Boots – Scierra X-Tech CC6 Wading Boot Review

15 July, 2017 by Alistair

Heat!

19 July, 2013 by Alistair

We have now entered the longest spell of hot weather since 2006 and by heck the rivers (and fishing) show it. This weather is only good for one thing. The level of the Kelvin has dropped significantly and even in the last week  the Allander dropped even further to a proper trickle. The Salmon boys…

A weekend of fishing and children related activities!

2 March, 20133 March, 2013 by Alistair

Sadly due to the fact my four year old knew there was a soft play around the corner I did not get much of a chance to really enjoy the experience of the Glasgow Angling Centre Open Weekend. My idea of fun and his are two totally different things. Paul Young got him a shot…

Kelvin AGM Madness, Glasgow Angling Centre U Turn on Wader Warranties and other Random Acts of Violence..

7 February, 2012 by Alistair

Nicolas Valentin – the Glasgow Angling Centre Dude!

8 November, 20094 January, 2021 by Alistair

Nicolas Valentin is an employee of the Glasgow Angling Centre – I have got to admit he is one of the guys that actually changed my mind about the place – I used to stare at the rows of rods through surly eyes and complain at the lack of soul the whole store had! For…

28 February, 200928 February, 2009 by Alistair

Okay so it is my first weekend free after being back at work – I wanted to continue my anglingtastic extravaganza after the Friday nights shenanigans so I visited the Glasgow Angling Centre today as it was the open day – tragically it all went horribly wrong – as usual I have worked out how…

20 February, 2009 by Alistair

Another season is fast approaching and of course this means another open weekend at the Glasgow Angling Centre. The visit will be worth it alone just to meet John Wilson – sheer comedy value!
