As a boy I was quite literally fishing mad. From hand line fishing and spinning on the Clyde I graduated to trout fishing in small dams, rivers and lochs. In time fly fishing for brown trout became easily my favourite type of angling and this developed into hill loch fishing for wild fish.
Alas as an adult fishing’s grip on me lessened due to university studies, career and family commitments. When I turned 50 last year I realised that I wanted to do more of what I actually wanted to do and as my kids were getting older I slowly turned back to my love of fishing and fly fishing in particular. Well to say I still had the bug somewhat has proved to be something of an understatement. Fishing is back in my life big time and with an intensity I had underestimated. This blog will attempt to share some of the rekindled passion I have for angling. I hope it is of some interest to others.
As a footnote let me say right at the start, I am not an expert and with fishing every day is a school day, but boy do I love it all.
