It is indeed Paul. I don't know where yet (waiting on a PM from Alistair), but i'll let you know when I find out.

Slightly off topic but I've not fished on the canal and thinking of going piking this weekend. What spots would you recommend

I've only fly fished it once for two hours Malcolm, so I'm not particularly qualified to say.

Years ago, however I used to fish it with deadbaits and livebaits :shock: occasionally and had decent fish from Westerton (Anniesland) and from Twechar out to Wyndford. I haven't fished it for pike between Anniesland and Twechar, but I know of some nice fish caught in between those two locations. I tried at Old Kilpatrick/Bowling but don't remember getting anything in the way of pike, but we are talking 30 years ago here

I fished at Wyndford last week.

Thanks Alex, If it's not too bad tomorrow I'll head out for a cast.
