great fish like the sparse spots
Your videos are excellent. Thanks. Being a Southsider born in Cathcart and lived in Newlands myself, I passed over the White Cart at least twice every day. It was David Norwich a rod maker at Eglington Toll who taught me to fish the Cart at the back of Weir’s. Saved me a lot of travelling in my teenaged years. Fishing for me now is the monster fish in Thailand, but I would love a days plugging for pike in its place
Thanks Alan, great to hear from a fellow Southsider! I must admit I’ve barely given it a second glance since we moved here but its been a life saver with the travel restrictions and I’m really excited to properly explore the river next season. I know David Norwich from UA-cam but didn’t realise he was a local too. Thailand must be a lot of fun! I spent a few months there after uni and did a bit of saltwater fishing. Lost a marlin off the coast of Koh Tao that haunts me to this day!!
@@SouthsideFlyFishing lucky you to at least hook a marlin. I have tried on many occasions worldwide but on all, turned out to be an expensive boat trip😀 I will need to search out David on UA-cam. He showed me the dear hair dry fly, which is all I ever used. Thailand is great for the carp fishers, who’s want massive fish with heavy tackle. I think I have a go for snakehead and barramundi on the fly soon.
local river with that kinda fish is awsome!!!!!!congrats
Thanks Henrik! Yes, very lucky to have the river on my doorstep 🙏🏼🐟
Nice fish, great video 👍
Brilliant Video I’ve fished the white cart since the 80s great wee river never disappoints.
Sean Afnan hopefully won’t be long till we’re allowed to fish again. It really is a wee gem of a river.
Great wee film Sean. Great to see the river recovering and the catch and release.
Cool video city fishing is under rated
It is still my life's ambition to catch a trout or salmon on the river cart. I grew up playing in what we called the blue bell woods on the other side of the river to the Linn park. In the sixties and seventies there were only trout basically up stream from Busby and up beyond Eaglesham . Great to see that the pollution into the river has ceased and that the river is a healthy habitat for fish.
Hi mate, there are still the odd pollution incidents, but nothing on the same scale as you might expect. The section opposite those woods is still quite productive for trout. Apparently you can see salmon navigating the falls in Linn Park in high water, late in the season. And I've seen sea trout leaping, again later in the season. I'd say a well-timed visit to the river later this month or into October might just see you realising that ambition! But the trout are abundant and the river usually fishes really well in April/May. Tight lines 🙏🏼🐟🎣
Cracking Broonie bud can’t wait to get my new waders 🏴🐟🎣😁
Good luck with them mate! Tight lines 👍🏼🐟🎣
Reminds me of where I started many, many years ago - Water of Leith in Edinburgh. No 2 lb-ers though. Twelve ounces was a good fish - and we kept them all above 8 inches; they were delicious fried in butter. I fish a Southern England chalk stream these days and all wild fish go back keeping only one or two stockies for the pan on a good day.
Cracking video, tight lines!
Cheers mate 👍🏼🎣🏴
Nice video Sean. Brought back memories of when I last fished it - probably 50 years ago.
Its hard to remember Sean - I fished a lot of the streams and rivers around Glasgow in those days, mostly the Allander in Milngavie, but also the Blane at Blanefield and the Kelvin north of the city. Also used to fish the Tweed at Peebles and the Allan Water upstream from Dunblane. These days I fish the upper Credit river west of Toronto and its a good stream also.
That wiz a wee belter. Just goes to show whats in the rivers, been a while but i used ti go ti the Devon, and black devon doon in clacks.some great sport.
Brilliant fishing!!!!!
Brilliant video mate, makes me want to be on the water again.
Hi Sean
Like your videos
Back in Glasgow after years abroad and now living minutes from Kelvin in the west end
Am very keen to walk the waters here with someone who knows
Have been a keen fly fisher for 60 years
Jim.
Hi Jim, welcome back to Glasgow mate 👍🏼. Believe it or not, I’ve never fished the Kelvin! With the COVID lockdown seemingly extending for ever, it’s definitely a river I’m keen to explore. There’s some nice looking water in and around Kelvingrove park
Hi Sean-It is Sean?
I like your no fuss passion
Have come across several of your videos
The one from the Devon is beautiful !
Is it poss Ee have passed on the Gt Western Rd at Kelvinbridge.
If not then you have a twin.
But perhaps you have!
I walk the Kelvin most days.
Kelvingrove and Botanics.
Wonderful urban setting.
Lovely variety of water.
Since I came back to Scotland last August the water has nearly always been chocolate.
Had forgotten , almost, about our rain !
Am looking for a fisher to walk the stretches with me.
Social distancing naturally.
Anyone out there?
Hi Jim, aye it's Sean! I'm rarely over in the West end so maybe a doppelgänger ;) Not sure if you're on Facebook, but I'd try posting a message to the Kelvin Angling Association group (fishkelvin.com/river-kelvin-fishers-facebook-page/). I'm sure someone there would be happy to show you the river. All the best S
Great video. Fished the cart for years up at the top end. Great fish to be caught all over the river. Keep up the good work and hopefully more posts to come.
Very good Sean, enjoyed it and your G.P footage and editing was very good mate, all the best, Vid @ FishClyde
Time you were back out on the water, laddie!
Great videos
Thanks mate, glad you like them! 🙏🏼
I don't get back to Scotland often, but every time I do I really notice how much cleaner the rivers & burns are. The loss of all that industry wasn't bad in some ways.
@@SouthsideFlyFishing Thanks for the reply, Sean. I live in Australia these days but I can't wait to get back to do some fishing. Hopefully not long now... :)
Great video mate, lovely trout 👌 should try the black cart at Johnstone great fly water and some good trout to be had
Good Vid, mate!
Thanks mate! 👍🏼👍🏼
Great video, do you have loads of issues with the snagging with the back cast, looks great but think I would struggle with my casting not being great..
Very decent size great
Thank you! There are some surprisingly good fish in the river, although I’m not sure they are all wild
Belter m8 👌
Thanks pal 🙏🏼
Used to fish there in the late 80's when the Salmon were first returning. Spent many hours fishing through Linn park and Cathcart area.
Nice video ptn and Stewart’s black spider would do well there 👍
Thanks James and great shout with the flies. I don't fish spider patterns nearly enough!
@@SouthsideFlyFishing that was my set up for the hill lochs in the galloway forest wee spider absolute killer for wild browns 👍
Iv'e had some massive trout out the cart.....big fish in it.....my biggest is about 4lbs......but Mick Mar caught the biggest trout from a Glasgow river ever....think it was about 11
Well done, lovely video and great to see fish population in cities rising (pun intended) ;) keep it up and tight lines
Love your content mate, this be my first proper season on the rivers this year and was wondering if you was using 2 or 3 nymphs and how long of leader did you have on bud?
Thanks mate! Hope you enjoy the rivers this year 👍🏼👍🏼. You have to match the speed and depth of the pool but generally speaking if you’re using an indicator I’d start with 6-8 ft to the dropper and then 1-2 foot to the point. You might need to go longer and use heavier flies in deeper water and shorter in shallow water. But 6-8 feet is normally what I start with on the small/medium rivers I fish. And flies max for me. Any more and I find it’s tangle city 😂. Plus the amount of trees I hook, I’d be losing 3 flies a chuck instead of 2 😉😉. Tight lines bud
Great video and channel I used to live on Newlands rd right at bridge at Cathcart station is this near there ?🎣👍
Thanks John! This is right in the middle of Linn Park, so just south of Cathcart station 👍🏼
did you use a water ball on this river?
what fly do you best recommend for this river?
are there any other rivers in the area recommendable?
Great video mate, I like your style. Just got yourself another subscriber, keep them coming
Hi mate fish the white this season I’m going to try the fly rod is there any flies that u recommend thanks.
Great stuff Anthony! Glad to hear you’ll be fishing it this year. All the usual flies should work. I normally fish perdigons, pheasant tails and red tags when there are no rising fish. And i did well last season fishing deer hair emerges and f flies during rises. I know other folk do well with spiders and even small streamers so you can’t really go wrong. Obviously try to match the food and be as stealthy as you can! Tight lines mate 👍🏼🎣🏴
Hi Sean, new to fishing. I have seen you write that this is in Linn Park, any recommendations on where to start when arriving there? Keen on finding some nice spots this season.
Hi Sean, Greeting from the antipodes. Great little video, well produced. Was that a dry dropper rig? Subbed. Cheers, Craig
Wow, excellent, do you need a license? if so, where can I get one?
Hi bud, love your videos. I’m coming to Glasgow next week for 2 days and I’m going to fish. Where is the best place to go either loch or river near the city. Any hot spots
Thanks
Thanks for your advice pal I will let you know how I go 😁
Another great video mate, recently moved house so when I sort my tying station up I'd like to send you a few flies to try out and give your honest opinion on buddy!
@@SouthsideFlyFishing not a worry mate, I get a lot of pleasure from tying although it's a bigger obsession than actually wetting a line! Il let you know when I'm next up in Scotland mate is love to come wet a line and bring the drone and cameras chap. Il send you my email as soon as I'm sorted and send me an address to send the files to buddy. It's great to see the progression through your videos mate!
