All three ponds are fishing very well at the moment for both fly and bait anglers. The average catch was 3 fish per angler this week. Some fine Rainbows, Blues and Browns were caught. The larger fish were found to be feeding deeper.
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.
One Yellow Prize Tagged Trout was caught this week by lucky angler Mr Cochrane (Falkirk) from the top fly pond winning him £50.
Two doubles were caught this week, Mr McCallum (Grangemouth) landed a 10lb rainbow from the top fly pond in his 3 for 16lb, and Mr Grant (Stirling) landed a fine 11lb rainbow from the bait pond using powerbait in his 3 for 16lb.
