Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Just a reminder that your catch returns are due by the 20th of November. This includes nil returns (even if you didn’t catch anything, you must submit this so that we know). Please submit your return online through www.fishkelvin.com. If you don’t have access to a computer (try the library) you can submit the paper…

Greetings chaps, The season has now ended and we hope you had a good one. Please remember to send us your catch returns – by far the easiest method is by doing so online here. Obviously nobody should be fishing the river however if you do see someone can you either telephone Paul Reid or James…

While I know there have been icidents that may not be related to association members, I would like to draw everyones attention to the following: 1) Parking is…

Thanks to everyone that has contributed to the clean up and work party days so far. Last Sunday a small group cleared away some of the vegetation across from The White House. You can now fish the length of this pool without having to wade or crawl through the scrub! The plan is to fit…

On Sunday the 9th of September we will be carrying out some improvement work, all members are invited to drop by and lend a hand. We will be meeting at Balmore Bridge at 10.30am. Depending on how many numbers we have we may decide to tackle more than one particular stretch. Come along even if…

As per the leaflet in your permit pack, our work party day takes place this Saturday. We are running this alongside the F.O.R.K clean up day so there will be plenty of opportunity to help out. Hand tools will be provided for bank clearance and litter removal. If you own a bow saw, loppers etc,…

Greetings, We hope you are having a nice productive start to your 2012 season, we are hearing of a few Salmon caught and returned as well as good trout fishing. It looks like a combination of not stocking, total catch and release for trout and the mild winter has already started to make an impact.…
