All three ponds fished well again this week, for fly fishers and bait anglers. Many anglers who visited the fishery using fly or bait/spinning methods caught their permit fish limits. The fishery is being stocked well at the moment, and there is a good head of fish in all the ponds. All ponds are fully open.
The fishery is now taking Club bookings for the 2013 Season. Please call 01324 822800 or email: fishery@wellsfield.co.uk to make your club booking and secure your outing date.
Best flies this week: Yellow Dancer, Fritzes, Viva Lure, GH Diawl Bachs fished with a sink tip and long leader, or a slow intermediate fly line. Best Baits: Ledgered Worms and Maggots, Powerbait and small Mepps spun at depth.
ONE Red £50 Prize Tagged Trout was caught this week by M Mullen (Falkirk) from the bait pond using worms.
