Personally, I think that every person with a so-called “Gold Card” should be expelled from the association for not doing enough to manage the river. What gives? I started wading to the bank in their direction and they immediately buggered off at a fair speed. This is a river I had been obsessing about for the winter once I had found they did season tickets – I loathe a day ticket on somewhere I cannot go to for a couple of hours when the mood fancies so as the 5 mile limit has now been relaxed it was time to get permitted up.

Lots of folk act surprised that we still accept fishing at such a spot. Lockheed SR 71 Blackbird - … He then started ledgering with two rods and rod rests coming up with the bullshit story that his son was away having a pee – it must have been a long pee as he was away the whole day. All because this small vocal minority cannot get three honest folk together to actually do the jobs – instead they will plot about petitions and draw other people into their bullshit conspiracy theories.

I have never been kicked off any waters in the highlands or the south of Scotland.Ian – you are nowt but a common thief and a charlatan who has done nothing to improve the river in 35 years but rape and pillage it. At first I thought they were doing the decent thing and just tackling up a wee bit away so they didn’t spook the pool. We got to the pond and I described what was going to happen – I would cast for them and then they would retrieve, on my first cast as I was demonstrating a suicidal trout took my fly.

I outran the rain though and by the time I got to the river it was way behind me. If people had taken the lockdown seriously would this still have happened I wondered – probably would have helped people tell me who are way more intelligent than me.Also the numbers of people that have been taken advantage of is still growing – people stealing money off someone’s granny because she is scared to go to the shops is deplorable but you would be appalled by how often it happens.At least the weather was sunny during that time – it would have been harder to cope with if the sun did not shine.However, you are not here to read about my shitty work life, you are here to read about fish. Loading... Unsubscribe from Johnbhoy67 Graham? I would go on facebook and see folk laughing about going fishing, that it was allowed because it was part of their daily exercise. Later in the week I had an evening session on the Kelvin. Conditions look great all week  – gonna try and get an evening on the Kelvin at some point…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. I left when I coud no longer see my fly on the water.A bit of a calamity then occured however if you want to know what it is you can ask me in person – just remind me!Hiya, I have been fishing the Kelvin now for over twenty years and writing about fishing it over at John Wilson made some points in his video and I would like to clarify some things that have been bugging me for a while. The end of the day was just the reverse.It was incredibly stressful.

They soon cheered up when we started pulling in fish – mackerel, an eel and a lovely wrasse.

This is the sort of person that argues about postcodes and a constitution but does not abide by the being respectful to your fellow angler bit.

We gave it a few hours and then retreated to Alex’s caravan. I decided I should have just fully embraced the nymphs and stuck on an indicator – obviously this was during my musings as I drove up the road. Day two took us to the end of the glen to meet with Alex and his girls for a spot of sea fishing.
Not another poacher from the Kirk Salmon have been running for a good few years now, not only the Kelvin, but all they way past my house and on up the Glazert.
