The fishery is fishing very well at the moment thanks to the increased stocking program. All 3 lochans are open for fly and bait fishing. 8am – 5pm. The ponds have a huge number of fish in them for the time of year. Many anglers bagged their limits this week as a result.
ONE Red £50 Prize Tagged Trout was caught this week by lucky angler Mr M McMenemy (Falkirk).
The staff at the fishery would like to express their thoughts and condolences to the family of Tam Sneddon (Bannockburn) who died recently and was a regular and well respected fisherman at Wellsfield.

12lb rainbow by A Chalmers (Falkirk)
