I
have nothing to do with the club.
Fishing
on the River Kelvin is managed by the "River Kelvin Angling Association".
The permit only costs around fifteen pounds and there is no day permits available.
You might be suprised by this and Iwould not blame you - There is not one sign
on the whole of the 33km or river to say a club manages it...in fact when I brought
the issue up at the AGM I was told they would just be pulled down and there is
not a poaching problem anyway...if you fish the river and think differently you
might like to bring the issue up at the next AGM As
far as I know there are no bailiffs on the water which means it is up to the anglers
conscience as to whether they buy a permit or not. Well, there are bailiffs but
none you will ever see on the river. I used to be on the committee for the club
however after a disagreement over the last AGM I considered handing in my resignation.
- turned out I did not have to bother as I have never been invited back anyway.
I used to list the rules
of the club here but seeing as how none of them are actually enforced I did not
see the point. Lets
face facts ....£15 is hardly anything for the amount of lovely brown trout
fishing that you get as well as the improving runs Salmon and Sea Trout. Yes,
that's right £15 for 23 miles of fishing. You cant beat it can you.
The actual permits can be purchased in many places throughout Glasgow, most if
not all of the shops sell them. The main ones are, Glasgow Angling Centre, Danny's
Den, Crockets the Ironmongers and Gaffaro Brothers. If you need directions let
me know. You can
contact the club secretary, Douglas Brown, on 0141 946 6060. |
