I was up the Clyde today at Abington(not fishing) and returned along the Clyde valley till Lanark.There were no anglers that i could see,and apart from wind,the river was at a good height.but no visable fishermen.I then went for a looksee at Wolfclyde bridge.No cars or fishermen.?I then moved down to Thankerton Bridge.(end of Lamington beat) Nobody.I then went to the Hozier beat at Hyndford bridge ,Nobody.
The river was at a great height for fishing.No anglers.OK as I got home it started to snow.so it would have probably been pretty bad at Abington.but at 11am it was perfect grayling conditions.

So why didnt you?
do that journey often, with a little bit more for good measure.
Dalveen pass up to abingdon, then up through to Lanark, often dont see a soul.
often stop for an hour.
is strange somehow that i dont see anyone!

BROWN TROUT:THE RED SPOTS HAND PAINTED BY GOD

I was over most road bridges over the lower Clyde yesterday morning. I then had jobs in Carnwath, Symington, Biggar and Broughton in the afternoon, and did not see one single angler, nor even a car parked at Wolfeclyde or Boat Bridges. Very quiet. Drove down the Clyde valley the day before and only seen one angler at Mauldslie.

Empty again.....In all our trips to the Clyde scince November (which are frequent) i have only ever bumped iinto one person apart from the Guy who walks his 2 dugs around 1.30pm

well ill be up tommorow,lamington in the morning and further up later on

Its a big water and only meet anglers very rarely,ive only had ticket checked twice both at lamington.

Bill you are in fact the only other angler we have met on the Clyde since November.

Incidentally we saw a few Crayfish carcases today is that related to the earlier closure upstream

The Crayfish seem to have made their way down as far as Crawford now.I have not been able to find out if the closure above telford bridge has now been lifted ,as the trapping of the Crayfish appears to have been abandoned through lack of funds.
