There is a great head of trout in all 3 lochans due to the increased stocking program, and this can be seen with the sheer numbers of rising trout on the surface. The two fly fishing ponds and the “any method” bait fishing pond fished very well again this week with many anglers bagging their catch limits.
The evening sessions continue and the fishery is open from 8am till 10pm, 7 days a week. Permits are available throughout the summer holidays for adults, juniors, parents with child, and families.
Lucky angler Mr Brodie (Alloa) caught a £50 Yellow Prize Tagged Trout this week winning him £50. At the moment there are seven £50 Yellow Prize Tagged Trout and three £500 tagged trout in the ponds. The competition costs £1 to enter. Catch a tagged trout and win the prize money!
TWO specimens were caught this week:
Mr Stevenson (Falkirk) landed a 12lb rainbow from the top pond in his bag of 4 trout weighing 19lb and Mr O’Connor (Bishopbriggs) caught 2 trout for 11lb, best a 9lb rainbow.
Best flies this week: Buzzers, PTN, Montanas, Damel, Dancers and Mini-Cats fished or intermediate line. Best bait: Powerbait, Maggots and Taz’s.
