About Me

My photo
Glasgow, United Kingdom
Mad about flyfishing in Scotland. I will try to catch anything that swims, but my main passion is salmon and sea trout fishing, particularly on my favourite big rivers such as the Spey, or, on a smaller scale the Teith in Stirling. I have fished all the great Scottish rivers such as Tay, Tweed and Spey with mixed success, as well as Scotland's great lochs such as Menteith, Lomond and Leven for their stunning trout and sea trout. In these pages you can share in all my angling adventures, whether on my own or in the company of some of my great fishing friends. We hope you will enjoy sharing our triumphs (not many), or laughing at our incompetent efforts at catching these great fish. Either way, enjoy. Tight lines!

Stunning!

South Esk springer

Have a look at a rare triumph on the video bar, the first spring salmon from the River South Esk in 2010, caught by yours truly from Middle Kinnaird, with the help of Ian from River-green.com doing the camera work and commentary. You may guess he got a little excited about this "fresh" fish.

Slow start continues

Another day on Cambusmore on the river Teith today. Unfortunately no fish for any of our syndicate, with Jack Beattie failing to connect during the day, and myself doing likewise later on. However at least one fresh fish was sighted, with still a few kelts hanging about despite good water levels and mild temperatures which should have moved most of them on by now. It really was like early summer conditions today, with perfect light and water conditions, but either we were rubbish or it just wasn't to be (probably the former).
Anyway, desperate for another bend in the rod, off to fish Carron valley reservoir on Sunday for trout with top rainbow basher Ian Walls of river-green, a bit early for good sport perhaps but maybe half a chicken dragged through the depths will produce the goods. Full report to follow!
