well fellow anglers all over the central belt , the rains have finally come and will offer much needed refreshment to many rivers and still-waters bringing fish on the feed and even the possibility of a few fresh run salmon too which would be great to see ,and would have me at the g.a.c stocking up on my spinning gear which for the moment is non existent as i gave all mine to my bro last season and well lets just say he is my bro and thats that.
the rain is going to be so welcome and i expect to see the river full of anglers chasing that first salmon of the season ,but me i will still be chasing trout as thats what i set out to do more of this season at least until the back end when the bigger runs come in then i go silver skinned too and act like a man possessed charging up and down the river searching pool after pool for fresh salmon,and lets hope this season i get to get on the numbers quick as i could not bare another season without a silver tourist as last season was quite enough.
i am going to get the camera active again too as its always better to see what Ive been doing by means of a few pics to and it also allows people a chance to see the different runs i am fishing when I'm out on the kelvin , so need to get the battery charger out and get all the battery's charged for the next outing in the hope that i can get one or two of the bigger trout in the kelvin and let you guys see whats really in their.

the river is running dry
well i have been down a few times this week and found the river to be in much need of rain of which i don't see happening in the near future ,,but who knows maybe the fishing gods will smile on us and give us some.
the river is slowly starting to get a thick covering of blanket weed along its shallower sections and this makes wading treacherous indeed as i found out today while having a look through a few of the runs i fish when the river is a little higher ,,,i like to do this when the river is running low so as i can see what the river bad is like in certain areas i fish , so i have a better knowledge of how to fish each section as i come to it on my fishing days out.
i love it when the river gets that new flush of water into it as it brings everything back onto feed as the water drops of and in the kelvin depending on how much rain you get the river can drop of very quick over a few hours .
i also here their are plans for another kelvin grove party this weekend ,,,great !!!! i hope the authorities put something in place to stop this as its not been kind to that section of the river as when i walked along it today i noticed the amount of bottles and plastic bags in the river were at a very disturbing level and only wish i had more time and people to do something about it.
