thinking of trying the river clyde this year for some brownies i have been scanning internet and i see its run by 2 organisations the upper clyde , and the lamington section was wondering if anybody has fished one or both sections . I have started tying small spiders in 14/16 sizes for the rivers for upcoming season (they work well on my local river ) and hoped they would work up there. i see lamington have put permits up for the season to £40 and i cant find prices for upper clyde either way still good value for money anyway.So if anybody has suggestions for places to fish , which permit is best value , flies etc.

thanks in advance

i like yourself am intrested in fishing the fly on the river clyde as im a regular to glasgows second river the river kelvin which can also be a great river and for £15 its a real bargain i think you will find the spiders work well and in dark colours their are many sites out their on clyde style flies i would look that search up if i were you as you will find most are spiders ,anyway i hope you have a good season on the clyde and tight lines everyone ,by the way their can also be good dry fly fishing on the clyde too so ive heard

Clyde fished exceptionally well last season but it's always been a cyclical river so IMHO there is no guarantee of an even better season this year but then again you never know.
