Absolutely great fishing at the moment with clear water and plenty of fish to be caught. All angling club secretaries should note that club bookings for 2007 are now being taken for Wellsfield.

The fishery is fishing well at the moment on all 3 lochans and there is a fantastic head of trout in the ponds at the moment. The catch rates were high again all week last week with many anglers bagging their limits.  The average trout weight was 3lb 4oz.  Many fish in the 4lb –5lb range were caught.  

Fly fishers found a floating or intermediate line worked best with fritz, goldhead lures and dancers stripped slowly.  The bait anglers found powerbait worked best plus maggots and spinners.

One Yellow Tag was caught this week and two specimens were caught this week.  Two specimens wer caught – Mr Low (Falkirk) landed a fine 10lb 6oz rainbow on a Damsel in his 3 for 16lb. Mr Alexander (Larbert) landed a fin perfect 9lb rainbow from the bait pond using maggot in his 4 fish for 16lb.
