The fishing has again been superb all week and the increased fish stocking programme is really paying off.  Again many fish were caught this week and many 4-5lb fish were also caught over the coarse of the week.

Frank Robertson of Tullibody caught a Yellow £50 prize tag on Friday and Mr Thomson (Falkrik) also caught a tag mid-week, both anglers winning £50 prize money each.  There are still loads of tags in the ponds to be caught. One double figure specimen trout was caught this week – a fine bar of silver rainbow at 14lb rainbow from the top fly pond by Mr Adams (Grangemouth) in his 5 for 27lb using lures.  A 8lb rainbow was also caught by Mr Young (Bathgate) from the bait pond using maggot in his 4 for 18lb.  

Viva Dancer, Olive Damsels and Blobs worked well for fly fishers.  For bait anglers Spinner-meps, Powerbait, Maggots and worms  were most successful.
