The increased stocking program continues for all the ponds at the moment.
The evening sessions are still ongoing and the fishery is open to 8.00pm, seven days a week.   

One Yellow Prize Tagged Trout was caught this week by lucky angler Mr G Main (Bo’ness)  from the bait pond winning him £50.

The cooler weather has produced some great fishing and a good number of larger resident fish in the 5lb to 8lb range have featured amongst the catch returns.

Some fine Rainbows, Blues and Browns with an average weight of just over 3lb were caught with many in the 4lb –5lb range.  Fly fishermen found a floating or intermediate line with a cats whisker, mini lures, goldhead daddies and buzzers worked best. Bait anglers found powerbait, maggots and small spinners worked best.

Two doubles were caught this week, Mr Stevenson (Falkirk) landed a 12lb 4oz rainbow from the top fly pond in his 3 for 17lb, and Mr Gardiner (Dunblane) landed a fine 10lb rainbow from the bait pond using powerbait in his 4 for 18lb.
