Wellsfield Trout Fishery
All three ponds fished well again this week, for fly fishers and bait anglers. The weather was much more settled this week and provide good sport for man anglers throughout the week. Springtime appears to be on the way and fish are a bit more active in all the ponds.
FISH OF THE WEEK: A nice cracking 11lb Rainbow Trout caught by D Cairnes (Moodiesburn) in his bag of 3 fish for 17lb. See photo below.
