Mystery History -- Solved
11:41 A.M. UPDATE: That Bellis is a sneaky one! I didn't realize until just now that she posted an 11:34 p.m. guess last night: "I like the idea of Jack Parsons, but I think this is the Dutch chemist Arie Haagen-Smit (not to be confused with Haagen-Dazs) in his lab at Caltech." So she wins the fabulous prize!
I scooped everybody this week, although Bellis posted her guess from a coincidental location!
In the photo above, Caltech Professor Arie Haagen-Smit is in a campus laboratory demonstrating how smog is formed by photochemical reactions of unburned hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides and ozone.
Born in Utrecht in the Netherlands, this "father of air pollution control" is best known for finding a direct link between automobiles in Southern California and the heavy smog that plagued the region for decades.
Ironically, Dr. Haagen-Smit was a heavy smoker. He died of lung cancer in 1977 at the age of 76.
There's a nice little tribute to him here by a Caltech biology professor who worked closely with him.
Every year the State of California Air Resources Board presents the Haagen-Smit Clean Air Awards in his memory.
Chip Jacobs has a smog blog.
And see a recent L.A. Times article here.
As you probably know, there's always a direct tie-in to local Pasadena government on all of my Mystery History reveals. So where's the City of Pasadena tie-in for this one, you ask?
Bike Week Pasadena is coming up in two weeks!
There will be activities at Pasadena Museum of History, Central Park and other locations.
One of the guiding principles of Pasadena's General Plan states "Pasadena will be a city where people can circulate without cars."
Not a bike rider? You can still leave your car behind a take a Pasadena ARTS Bus, the Metro Gold Line (or even a combination of the two), or put on your walking shoes and get going!
Many thanks to Caltech and the California Air Resources Board.

Oh gosh, I didn't realize I was posting so late. I had no idea what the time or day in Pasadena was. Need to get one of those watches with two dials. Many thanks for another interesting Mystery.

Well, if he was researching smog in those things, then my guess of a hookah factory wasn't so far off! ;-)

Hear my take on some of the internet's hottest video offerings, from the three-year-old girl offering sports commentary to the Nickelback song remixed about the social media platform Instagram.
We also talk about the newest web sensation, Muhammad Nazir. The East London market owner recorded a music video-themed commercial in a "Gangnam Style" parody to separate his store from other stores in his area. Now Nazir has a hit song and video for his song "One-Pound Fish" that garnering him international status.
Watch these video and hear my commentary about them on HLN's "New Now" below:

Yum! This dessert would be great year round-the spices are perfect. I served this with the sauce a little warmed. Love it. Thanks!
This is delicious! I love the combination of orange and spices. And what lovely presentation! I served this over frozen rice milk for a refreshing and different dessert. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for a great recipe, Dreamgoddess.

FAIRHAVEN, Mass. — A full-scale exercise simulating an accident involving a school bus was held here Oct. 20. The bus was donated for the event by New Britain, Conn.-based DATTCO Inc.
DATTCO also provided buses, including the company's new hybrid-electric school bus, for a safety demonstration following the event to familiarize emergency personnel with access points, location of power sources and other bus features.
Police, fire, EMS, ambulance, HAZMAT, public works and other emergency personnel from seven area towns were also involved. Residents in the immediate vicinity were notified in advance and invited to participate as bystanders. Students from Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational Technical High School acted as accident victims and triage was performed on site with transportation by ambulance to four area hospitals.
Funding to support the project was provided by the Southeast Regional Homeland Security Advisory Council and the National Interstate Insurance Co. Local organizations, including the Massachusetts Association for Pupil Transportation, also contributed.
Participants from all fields stated that they had never participated in a drill that was so realistic and that they learned a lot more than they ever have from classroom exercises.

Most Expensive Montgomery Neighborhoods
Montgomery is a somewhat small city located in the state of Ohio.
With a population of 10,440 people and two constituent neighborhoods,
Montgomery is the 175th largest community in Ohio.
Montgomery home prices are not only among the most expensive in Ohio, but Montgomery real estate also consistently ranks among the most expensive in America.
Montgomery is a decidedly white-collar city, with fully 94.47% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Montgomery is a city of professionals, managers and sales and office workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Montgomery who work in management occupations (17.96%), healthcare (11.23%) and business and financial occupations (10.34%).
Also of interest is that Montgomery has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
Of important note, Montgomery is also a city of artists. Montgomery has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Montgomery's character.
In addition, Montgomery is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates". Urban sophisticates are educated, wealthy, executives and professionals, who have urbane tastes in books, food, and travel, whether they actually live in a big city, or choose to reside in a small town. In big or medium-sized cities, urban sophisticates tend to frequent art institutions such as opera, symphonies, ballet, live theatre, and museums.
Because of many things, Montgomery is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Montgomery a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families, as well as find family-oriented services and community. The city's good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Montgomery has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Montgomery's overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.
If knowledge is power, Montgomery is a pretty powerful place. 68.33% of the adults in Montgomery have earned a 4-year college degree, masters degree, MD, law degree, or even PhD. Compare that to the national average of 21.84% for all cities and towns.
The per capita income in Montgomery in 2010 was $53,051, which is wealthy relative to Ohio and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $212,204 for a family of four.
The people who call Montgomery home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Montgomery residents report their race to be White, followed by Asian. Important ancestries of people in Montgomery include German, Irish, English, Italian, Polish and French.
The most common language spoken in Montgomery is English. Some people also speak Spanish.

Design procedure for a longitudinal flux flat linear switched reluctance motor
design_priocedure_reluctance_motor.pdf (1.623Mb) (Restricted access)
Document typeArticle
Date issued2011-12-12
Rights accessRestricted access - publisher's policy
This article presents a new comprehensive design procedure for longitudinal flux flat linear switched reluctance motors. The design process comprises all the steps from detailing the specifications to sizing the prototype to validating the design, and it can be applied to three types of flux flat linear switched reluctance motors: single sided, double sided, and modified double sided. The design is based on an analytical formulation of the average translation force determined using a simplified non-linear energy conversion loop. Special emphasis is devoted to the calculation of the number of turns per phase. A two-dimensional finite-element analysis, corrected to take into account end effects, and a lumped parameter thermal analysis were used to refine and/or validate the design. Finally, a linear switched reluctance motor prototype was built following the proposed design and was verified by experimental measurements.

While there is no proven correlation between the quality of one's educational institution and the quality of one's professional competence, it is often an indicator. Medical schools have various levels of selectivity (some are harder to get into than others), and both the quality of their clinical training and level of research are measured. Additional medical training in both residency and fellowships and the facilities they are conducted at also provide a history of the doctors' level of training and experience.

The studio will initially produce two toons per year, kicking off with "Super Mega Hyper Pets," a joint venture with Canadian production company Amberwood, and "Rescue 4U" with Magma Films, Ireland.
General manager Jo Daris promised a focus on "quality-driven, positive and non-violent programming devoted to children and family entertainment." This will include classic remakes and original creations.
Other appointments include Thorsten Wegener as head of business affairs and "Robotboy" collaborator Djamila Missoum as line producer.

With a big group of veterans to build around and a talented class of newcomers the Tigers have made it their goal to play in Omaha at the College World Series this season.
If that happens it will likely be because of the leadership of a group of players named Auburn's captains for the season. Seniors Dan Glevenyak, Damek Tomscha, Blake Austin, Michael O'Neal and Terrance Dedrick will be wearing a 'C' on their jerseys this season to show their role as captains. Golloway noted it's an honor that is well deserved because of what each has done on and off the field since he arrived last summer.
"They do a really good job," the coach said. "Our captains lead. Sometimes they get a little bit mad. Blake Austin gets mad if he's not winning every game and I love that about him. Glevenyak shows some steady play. Tomscha tries to do too much at times, but it's because they want to lead.
"Terrance Dedrick is one of our captains, but he's going to be the guy at the back end. He's hoping he's in a position to get a save. We've talked to him about it, if we don't use him on Friday there's a good chance we'll use him on Saturday and Sunday. If I haven't had to use him until Sunday he might throw three or four innings for us.
"Our captains will lead us. They were appointed by the team and coaches for a reason. They'll do a good job. You can't hide if you've got a 'C' on your chest. They've got to toe the line and do what's right."
Sunny Golloway made the move from Oklahoma to Auburn.
A player who has earned praise from Golloway since fall practice, Glevenyak has made a big transformation to become a leader and that was one of the biggest reasons why he was named one of the captains. He said for him it's still a little difficult to get used to, but he's definitely excited about the honor.
"I think it's a huge honor, but I'm not going to change what I'm doing," Glevenyak said. "I just keep coming out every day and working hard and trying to set an example for the younger guys."
Leadership is just one of the things Golloway is looking for out of his captains this season as the Tigers hope to make a run towards the postseason. Depending on the group to provide discipline and make decisions, he pointed out it's important to have that on any team and he's excited to see how they do.
"It's just to do the right thing," Golloway said of the expectations. "To go and put your arm around somebody when they need to be picked up and get on to somebody when they're not doing something right. Even little things like taking care of our locker room. We sweat our details.
"I told them don't be the guy that's not helping put the tarp on the field. Be a good teammate. Those guys are supposed to police those types of things. We'll handle the hard discipline. They'll handle the soft discipline, basically the tempo and character of our club."
Getting ready to hit the road this week to begin a new season, Dedrick said this team is anxious to get the season started to they can see how much improvement they've made since last year. As for being a captain in his final season on the Plains he added it's something he'll always be proud of when he thinks on his time at AU.
"It's an honor for sure to be a senior out here and have the 'C' and just try to be a great leader and great teammate for everybody. It's an honor to have it. I'll wear it proudly."
Auburn will face Indiana State in the opening game of the Snowbird Classic on Friday at noon central time.

The quarterback position holds the key to the success of many teams in the NFL, and when a potential playoff quarterback is dangled on the market, many teams bite.
This offseason is no different, as teams are hungry for quarterbacks and are looking for the next solution to their dearth of quarterback talent.
From Arizona to Miami, it seems as though teams without quarterbacks are the have-not's of the NFL, and as such, here are the six best quarterbacks on the move for the 2011 offseason.

The Redskins traded up to get Jason Campbell in the first round of the 2005 draft; this week, they finally hand him the keys to the car. David Lewin uses this opportunity to revisit the college quarterback projection system he introduced in Pro Football Prospectus 2006. The system has been extremely accurate in 2006 -- just ask Philip Rivers -- and it predicts that Campbell will become a star.

Remember when Michael Vick was turning the corner? Two weeks later, there are more questions than answers, and with Warrick Dunn slowing and the defense losing players left and right, the Falcons are a team in crisis. The Browns meanwhile are developing a decent defense, but is Charlie Frye the answer at quarterback? Plus the first ever "Bonus AGS" looking at a crazy Sunday filled with upsets.

SHEDDING FOR THE WEDDING. 9 tonight, CW57.
THE FIRST thing you need to know about the CW's new "reality" show, "Shedding for the Wedding," is that it's not about dandruff.
Or anything involving skin.
No, in the tradition of the medium that says everything that rises (or sinks) must eventually converge, two of my least favorite "reality" genres - the weight-loss competitions and the weddings-on-steroids shows - come together in one only occasionally repellent package tonight, as couples compete to win their "dream wedding" - and have it featured in People magazine - by losing weight together.
Presumably, people who don't dream of seeing their weddings featured in People wouldn't be signing up for a TV show that requires them to stand on scales once a week in workout gear that barely covers them.


text: I rented a property from them for a year and when we moved in, all the things they promised would be fixed, were't including pet urine stained, reeking carpet, no working swamp cooler in the middle of summer, and black mold in the bathrooms. For a year we pestered them, repaired most things ourselves, and they fixed one thing right before we moved. Then, they took almost our entire deposit for a variety of dishonest reasons. I've rented several properties and never had my deposit stolen or docked because I leave places immaculate. This company is full of crooks. Everyone you talk to will tell you it is someone else in the company's fault and then lie when you ask more direct questions. Do not do business with these people!

Review by Jon
(Posted on 03/11/2015)
Price Quality
A robust, reliable and strong binding for use in back country and Nordic trail and off trail use. They are especially good when carrying heavy rucksacks across difficult terrain. I have used rottefellas in some form for over 30 years and have a lot of confidence in them. I ski long distances in remote places, including a 1600km ski last year. I ski on my own and leading groups so I need reliable equipment.

The Morning Read (2.25.09) Michael Cera still George Michael, Gondry on 'Hornet,' and Roizman flips out
Yesterday's Morning Read got sacrificed to my "Watchmen" review, but that just means we'll have twice as much to discuss today... right?
And it is indeed a busy morning. Just checking the headlines here at HitFix, it's obvious that a lot is happening out there.
Matt Damon, for example, is set to star in a Philip K. Dick-inspired SF film called "The Adjustment Bureau," which will be written and directed by George Nolfi if a studio picks it up to shoot this summer.
Also hunting for a home is a new Will Ferrell/Mark Wahlberg comedy called "The B Team," set to be directed by Adam McKay. Our article claims that Wahlberg has never starred in an overt comedy before. Obviously someone on the HitFix staff has never seen "The Happening." And speaking of Ferrell, did you see him on the second episode of "East Bound And Down"? Dear god. That show is like something I dreamed while screwed on cough syrup, and I treasure every second of it.
Michael Cera is in for the "Arrested Development" movie? Wow. I wish I thought the movie was neccessary. As much as I liked the show... no, scratch that. As much as I loved the show, I thought they actually did an amazing job of wrapping it up at the end of the series, and I'm not sure a feature film will be the right way to revisit the particular sensibility that made the show so great. Part of what I loved was the way jokes would pay off two, three, or even ten episodes after a set-up. Still, I love the show, love the cast, and I hope they blow my mind with whatever they're cooking up.
[more after the jump]
Man, I love this news. What's really bizarre about it is that this is not the first time Michel Gondry's been attached to direct "The Green Hornet." Way back in the pre-Kevin Smith days, Gondry was the first name I heard associated with the film, and I always wondered back then what drew him to the project. Well, according to Seth Rogen, there's no one better for the job. He calls Gondry "a kind of magician," and that's certainly true. It sounds to me like this is exactly the sort of alchemy "The Green Hornet" will need to distinguish itself from the myriad other films in the same basic genre that are being made, and it's definitely become one of the most intriguing projects in development with this addition to the team.
Joss Whedon's got more right than most to talk about the difficulties of getting the DC comics characters right onscreen, and today, he spills his guts.
Are you a Mike Leigh fan? If the answer is "no," then I'm puzzled by you. If the answer is "yes," then there are a few good reads out there this morning. One is his Oscar diary, and I love how open he is about the way the lead-up to the ceremony can play with your head and your heart. The other is a brief but smart interview with him.
To his credit, Leigh doesn't sound cynical about the industry or where it is right now, but it seems that not all of his countrymen (or women, as it were) share his opinion.
The best film-related read online today comes from video-game blog extraordinaire Kotaku, where you can read all about how the game-within-a-film "Wrestle Jam" was created for my favorite movie of 2008, Darren Aronofsky's "The Wrestler."
There's a new theater opening fairly close to my house which sounds frikkin' awesome.
Philip Jose Farmer has passed away. Great writer. If you don't know his work, today's a great day to rectify that.
There's an excellent interview with Demetri Martin over at The A/V Club.
I'm ecstatic to hear that Magnet Releasing, a sub-label from Magnolia Pictures, will be releasing the excellent "Bronson" in the U.S. If you missed my review of the film, check it out here.
Twitch has a great article where Vincenzo Natali (director of the intriguing upcoming film "Splice") picks a handful of '80s films that he loves, and talks about the genre-mashing sensibility that unites them.
At Cartoon Brew, they put together a great article that not only contains the Oscar speech where animator Kunio Kato included the best Styx call-out in Oscar history, but the award-winning film itself. Worth a look.
Glenn Kenny ran a link to a radio show where legendary cinematographer Owen Roizman flips his shit over William Friedkin's digital tweak of "The French Connection" on BluRay. I still don't have this title, but it's getting crazy when even the guy who shot it thinks the new transfer is an abomination.
Here's a question... who sounds crankier about fans right now? Ronald Moore? Or Alan Moore?
And finally this morning, Francis Ford Coppola would like to have a word with you regarding the release of his new film "Tetro."

The weather turned on Monday evening – during the day the temp was up around the high twenties and then in the evening they plummeted down to just into the teens. It was windy too and it was not a warm wind, it was an evil cold wind that thoroughly stopped the action.
Well, if the truth be told it did not totally stop, the occasional trout sporadically rose and their were masses of spinners cruising around above our head so Atkins and I fished the Kelvin however very few of them came close to the water. Every now and again a trout would boil on the surface and I suspect it was an opportunistic trout taking advantage of a drowned specimen however they were not willing to look at our flies especially in the long slow sections where we were fishing.
Just before ten I felt as if something was happening, the spinners got closer to the water and the rises started to get just a little bit more frequent. You could at least tell that a trout was now rising a few times rather than just once – I managed to winkle one trout out from a across the river in a shady side pocket – a tricky cast across the river and then dealing with drag. I managed it by putting a bend in the middle of my line so that the fly drifted perfectly for just the foot I needed. I then had to time that drift with the frequency of the trout rising. I must have targeted that trout a dozen times and on one memorable occasion I watched the fly boil on the surface due to a displacement of water from underneath – the trout had classically refused the fly. On the next cast it took – it was small and I could not believe it had been so picky.
Still, it meant I did not blank.
Atkins left and I targeted three trout rising underneath a trailing tree branch within a rod length. I had to place my fly in the space of about a quarter of the size of a standard bath which also had a branch trailing in front of it. The trout were rising behind the trailing branch. That afternoon after I had got home from work I had managed to tie up around half a dozen flies all with yellow and white CDC to ensure I could see them in the dusk and dark. I reckon every one of them ended up in that tree. You see, even though I cast over those trout many-many times I still do not think I got a good enough drift for them to see my fly – it was landing just in front of their rise form.
It was totally and utterly maddening.
The darker it got the harder it got and the harder it got the more I wanted to catch one of thise trout, the harder and darker it got the bigger those trout got in my mind – I was at the same spot that I lost the rod bender the previous night so surely as these fish were in a particulary more safer lie then they would be bigger right?
Eventually I looked up from my intense concentration and found it was fully dark and my legs were stiff due to the position I was standing – the trout had slowed there heavy feeding not to do with my casting but more to do with the fact they were nicely full up and satisfied with their feasting.
I have unfinished business!
Another dusk session which ended totally at ….well dusk really. I have heard of trout sessions that last well into dark however on the Kelvin the last few nights all action has ended with the bats being on the water.
I fished up the city stretch and as usual found something in the river that lets you know that you are fishing in an inner city sometimes known for its crime.
Either a Chef (or Butcher) decided to totally jack in his trade or someone was trying to get rid of the evidence pronto – it looks like it has been in the water for some time so Taggart may have an unsolved case.
Anyway, I started when it was still light at around 8pm and thought I would see no action until later, however started to pick up small trout when fishing speculatively in pocket water and riffles..
I fished on and the park was heaving with folk having barbecues and generally enjoying the hot sunny weather we are experiencing just now. I am glad folk are using the bins provided throughout the parks however their gets to a point when you have got to wonder when people might think they should take their shit home with them.
I fished on and chatted to another member who was out using spiders – great guy who was enjoying the Sunday action.
He let me attack some trout he was having difficulty with and I managed one of them before moving on to the main event – a long slow deep pool which I just knew would hold some nice trout – I was hoping the dusk would make them a little more brave. I managed to spook a few before finally an absolute belter of a trout took my big white fluffy cdc thingy and it jumped clear out of the water and then proceeded to take a tour of the pool while jumping almost a foot in the air a couple of times..
I managed to convince it to come in for a quick photo and thankfully for once it obliged – now I am no expert when it comes to fish sizes however I reckon their is a good pound in this beast.
Of course what I should really do is start carrying a tape measure around with me – at least then I can give a fish a proper size. This trout simply sucked my fly under water, no splashy or aggressive rise, one second the fly was their and the next it was gone.
I walked up the river and found another two trout sipping something off the surface – very small rises. I covered the tricky one first and then I noticed another trout rising closer, I covered it and my rod bent over as another best shot down the pool and took a couple of foot of line, stupidly I tried to get it on the reel and with another pull it was gone.
And that was pretty much it for the evening – bats were on the water and the trout switched off. I hung around for another ten minutes however did not see any more risers.
Alasdair P – Kelvinator supreme has had his recent Salmon submitted to the "Fish of the Month" section of the Glasgow Angling Centre Facebook page
The fish was caught just after some expert told him there were " Nae fish in there ya fanny…"
Alasdair has ditched his waders in place of Jeans and Jesus Sandals. The fish of course was returned to spawn another day!
Lets make sure he wins the fish of the month competition by liking the picture on facebook resulting in him having to buy us pints all season!
Two views , one of the view from the camp …..
And one of my leg in the morning when the evil little bastards descended on me as I was packing the camp up !
If you have never experienced the Scottish midges I assure you it is the quickest route to madness that one can take !
Oh the Kelvin fishers, I just love them.
What makes this whole scene a lot more comedic is when you realise the bench is in fact in the middle of a weir…
It takes the whole "Fuck You"approach to the step between casts rule – this area is actually quite heavily fished, I can only think that the chaps need a bit of rest between hauling in their…..
Stop Press
The chap who sent me the photos (Stephen) has just sent me another one…
If you look carefully you can see that they have wedged them up against some rocks so that they do not get washed away in the floods – also it provides a handy place to put your cold beer.
Their also appears to be a dead body on it however that may just be an optical illusion.
What next? another bench? Some cable for a wee lamp and a TV, a real fridge?
Fishing the dusk again tonight possibly!
So after a quick run after work and then a hectic few hours trying to put the boys to bed in this heat I found myself setting up at around half eight, I spoke to a couple of guys with spinning rods who did not have permits and then dived in the water.
It was a strange evening all round with lots of flies on the water – Yellow Mays, Sedges and I think other wee upwings. There were a lot of trout rising and even though I just never got to grips with exactly what they were taking I still managed to winkle a few out..
Nothing massive however they put a bend in the rod and were lovely to look at – real true wild Kelvin trout. I went through a few fly changes: a small sedge, a large sedge, a yellow comparadun and an emerger. The trout were pretty devious as when they rose to the naturals they would make a splashy rise and when they would take my imitation they would sip it down.
I stayed until well into the dark however the rising fish slowly dropped away and I realised that they were not going to continue into the darkness. I slowly walked down to where I had started dapping my fly along the way resulting in a few boils however they never connected (in other words I fluffed it)
I am off work tomorrow and will be walking along the river with the youngest boy in the back pack – I printed out some leaflets to give guys who do not have permits to see if that has any impact – lets see shall we!
How do you deal with poaching? – not the serious big stuff involving nets and and stuff I am talking about the low level stuff involving a guys just fishing the river without a permit?
I managed a couple of hours on Sunday afternoon and it was spoiled by having to talk to a few guys about not fishing with permits and with spinning rods. Sunday is fly only on the Kelvin as agreed by the members for a couple of years now. Two of the guys were totally pished and started giving dogs abuse saying I was arrogant and a jobsworth for asking them for permits, one of the guys almost fell in he was so drunk – they stated they were drinking in memory of their friend who had died at that spot the year previously of hypothermia, I have looked up the news however could find no record of it. I do not doubt them as beside the river you always find shrines made up out of football tops with the inevitable empty bottle of buckfast next to it. I am pretty sure I had a photograph of that shrine somewhere however could not find it!
The second guy was walking to the river carrying a spinning rod with a bloody great float attached to it. They were Glasgow City Council employees, you could tell that as they were wearing overalls with the logo on them – the conversation:
"Awright mate, you got a permit?"
"Well, you need a permit to fish here and on a Sunday it is fly only"
"How much are they?"
"Ahm no payin' that I am only gonna fish it a few times" He smiled and winked
"Er, well, I am the Vice Chair and this is the Crown Bailiff and Secretary so it might be best not to fish as you could potentially get arrested"
"Aw well, I will just walk back to work then" they then proceed to walk down the path to the river – the only thing that is down this path is the river.
Luckily there were a few guys fishing down that way who would hopefully keep them right. The few guys were some passionate fly anglers who have done extremely well this season – the one saving grace of the situation is that they would tell them not to fish the water with their spinning gear in no uncertain terms.
You see this is the reason why all anglers need to ask each other whether they have permits or not – you see, every guy fishing the River Kelvin without a permit is a kick in the teeth for guys that do buy a permit.
The bottom line with paying for a permit is the knowledge that the cash is going towards making sure you have fish in the water. Those that do not pay for a permit are not contributing towards making sure that there is fish in the water and consequently are shafting the members. Additionally these guys are probably killing trout which is undoing the good work that the members have put in to ensure the stocks improve.
The thought of a nice brownie that I have caught and returned a few times on the dry fly being butchered by some guy with a maggot fucking pisses me right off!
Speaking of which I caught a couple of nice brownies on the Sunday – as I got their late in the day it was the tale end of the hatch – sedge were again the order of the day and I only had one on my fly box. I managed to tempt one trout in the beginning after many drifts to a small klink that I was sent by Marcel (a reader and regular poster on the forum) and it went absolutely bananas and again I wondered why I had left my net at home. The river was maybe a couple of inched higher than it was the last time I was out and the water was freezing cold. The oxygen content must have been high to make the fight like beasts.
I managed to hook a wee one with a tricky cast standing on the middle of a fallen tree and nearly lost my fly in a tree.
However even when I was thinking about the trout caught and the fish chat with some of the guys I had met at the riverside I was still thinking about the guys without permits who were just out to kill some time (and trout). I am pretty sure every river has them however at least on other river faced with a bailiff or anyone else they usually have the good grace to do a bolt.
I suppose the danger with some of the guys on the Kelvin is that they often get aggressive as that seems to be the standard macho bullshit when challenged on anything that they may be doing wrong.
I have no idea what the solution is – although I keep on coming back to a paid bailiff force that is on call 24/7 however the prices would be high. What gives? How do you guys view it when you meet someone that is clearly breaking the rules? Do you ignore it or say something?
Chaps, you may or not be aware that I have not exactly been the fittest of specimens over the last year or so. However, in February I decided to get myself a little fitter and started doing a spot of jogging, this then led on to having a goal of doing a 10k race (so that I was not going to wimp out) and now I am trying to raise a spot of cash through my aching legs and pints of manly sweat for Yorkhill.
Why Yorkhill? Well, you see when my number two son was born there was a wee bit of a panic as he was born with what is called a Postermedial Bowing of the Tibia – essentially above his foot his leg angled at 60 degrees. Now, it could have been a lot of things (I had no idea problems of the foot can be caused by issues in the spine) however on day two of the boys life we arrived at Yorkhill and the Consultant pulled out all the stops to make sure we had the best care available – it turns out the condition is uber rare and often it is misdiagnosed as other things.
While I have been in the waiting rooms up at Yorkhill I have been truly humbled by the way in which these young children cope with some of the most severe disabilities and problems. I am going to hazard a guess that you have children or you at least know someone who has children – if you live in Glasgow or the surrounding areas I can guarantee you that they have been at Yorkhill at some point over the last year.
So I have created a Just Giving page where I would love it if you donated a couple of pounds to this worthy cause – the money goes towards buying new machinary and new expensive stuff that children need to live some kind of quality of life.
Please don't go thinking that this will be an easy 10k as for your cash you can expect me to sweat like a wildebeast when it is about to cross some suspicious looking swamp, undergo huge mental torture to keep going and probably be sick at the end.
Here is the link to donate – my work buddy who I have been training with is also running for the charity so we are doing it together.
The race is on Sunday 17th june – I will post some pictures of my sweaty finish if you like.
Many thanks!
So I managed a couple of stolen golden hours after work to try and again tempt some Kelvin trout and to be quite honest I was almost going to be waxing lyrical about spooky trout and pricked lips.
Not my lips, the trout I managed to prick. You see the first few trout that I managed to tempt to my dry fly were pricked and away quicker than I could say "Ya Beauty" As it was I felt a deep thump thump and felt solid trout and then they were gone – the takes appeared solid enough, in fact the flies were pounced on like a tiger and a lamb. Maybe it was the downstream drift that caused the problems.
I walked, well scrambled, along the bank to where I had spooked some trout a few days ago. I would like to say this time I went after them in a different way however as expected with the exact same tactic of casting directly upstream and lining them they promptly fu*ked off.
I took a few moments to drill into my head again the need for stealth and wariness and then took a few steps upstream.
At this precise moment both soles fell off my Orvis wading boots.
At the next pool I spotted a tiny rise on the surface about the size of a saucer – the water was so clear that I could see the trout come up from the depths (a foot of water) to take stuff off the surface.
There was a huge hatch of grannom I think hatching and for once the trout were feeding on them. Well, not every trout and in fact it turned out only the big ones as I proceeded to catch within the space of a few mins two of the finest trout I have caught from the Kelvin in quite some time , real proper rod benders that leapt all over the pool and back again.
The second trout was in roughly the same pocket of water as the first, I only had one wee sedge thing left so knew that if this one got stuck in a tree (I had already lost a few flies) then my session would be over. The trout was dimpling the surface and I cast over it a few times, when it took the fly it shot all over the pool in an absolute fury before jumping out the water a couple of times – it actually flashed into my head that maybe we had accidentally stocked this year however again it was a lovely truly wild Kelvin trout in my hand ready to be returned to get even larger.
Over the last few weeks I have been hearing great reports (and we have also been chatting about it in the Kelvin Forum) of the trout fishing on the fly being exceptional this year – you know what, folk said we were crazy to stop stocking trout and impose a catch and release policy for them however this year we are really seeing the benefits. Just wait another couple of years, guys who solely fish for trout on the fly should take advantage of the £15 trout only ticket and fish absolutely nowhere near me.
Anyway, on the way back to the car I spotted another swirly rise which was so easy to cast to as a tree had fallen down behind me and it was a rod length away it would have been churlish not to take it up on its offer, the trout appeared to be patrolling as it would boil on the surface a foot away each time it rose, I judged my cast and the fly was bored down to the depths before again another stonker of a trout came to the bank..
All first trout looked like a lot of the trout that I catch from the Clyde with lots of small spots while the other two were your typical Kelvin bastards who have no idea who their parents are – probably a cod or something.
I had wondered where all the good trout at this stretch had vanished too and a thought occurred to me, last season I kept on meeting guys fishing downstream with wet flies (a lot of guys do this), the problem is this will ruin the whole stretch of water and the trout will be thoroughly spooked for a few hours anyway. It stands to reason that if someone is tramping down through pools then trout will be spooked. Another thing to keep in the head is that if you are fishing upstream then the trout will not actually see you – unless like me you cast your fly directly on top of their heads in a big tangled heap.
Raining tomorrow seemingly, and the a showery day on Friday.
Fingers crossed n' all that I may well see you on the river.
