Weekly report for week ending 12th February, 2012

Wellsfield Fishery is open 8am-5pm, 7 days.  The increased stocking program has begun and there is a very good head of trout in all 3 lochans at the moment, with many large specimens in the mix.

Rainbow Trout fishing has been good this week, and the rainbows and blues are aggressively chasing lures and providing great sport for all anglers.  Water clarity is very good. 

Many anglers bagged their fish limits, using the correct methods, speeds and most importantly depth.  Most fish are taking about 4-5 feet down from the surface, as well as near the bottom.

With the ponds depths averaging 10ft down to 19ft, fish can be found anywhere at this time of year, depending on the weather conditions.  Many anglers have been catching fish as they chase minnows and sticklebacks in about the margins.

Best flies this week: Silver Humungus, Claret Damsel GH, Black/Red Cheeked Buzzer, Bloodworm, Holographic Diawl Bachs fished on a long leader. Best Baits: Ledgered Worm, Maggots and Size Zero Mepps Spinners.

Largest fish of the week was an 11lb 6oz Rainbow Trout for Mr A Graham (Stirling) in his bag of 3 trout for 16lb using mini-lures.

One Red £50 prize tag was caught by lucky angler I Reid (Uphall) from the top fly pond mid-week.
