Another busy week at Wellsfield Fishery, the frequent stocking of up to 4 times per week at the moment, is producing significant catches for trout anglers.
All three lochans fished well this week for those fly fishing and bait fishing. Many anglers bagger their permits fish limits. Anglers can view the big fish website gallery on: www.wellsfield.co.uk
Water temperature is currently 9degC, fish are still very active at a range of water column depths. Water clarity is excellent. The average weight was just over 3lb 2oz per fish.
