Crystal clear water, abundant fly life and rising trout made for great top of the water sport during the evening rises at Wellsfield this week with flies such as dries, Hoppers, Daddies, Muddlers and Buzzers. The late night evening fishing sessions till 10pm are ongoing. All 3 ponds are fishing very well at the moment for fly and bait anglers.
The average fish size was 3lb 4oz, with many fish at the 4lb–6lb mark plus the occasional specimen over 8lb. Bait anglers have found Meps, Taz’s, Tobys, Rainbow Powerbait and Maggots to be most successful. Two specimen fish were caught this week – a cracking 10lb rainbow for A Gibson (Larbert) using muddlers in his 4 fish for 20lb. I Liddle (Falkirk) landed a fine 9lb rainbow from the bait pond using spinners in his 4 for 19lb.
