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 fish limits catching Rainbow Trout, Blue Trout and Brown Trout. The average weight was just over 3lb 2oz per fish. Largest fish of the week was a 12lb rainbow trout caught by William Caddiss (Stirling) in his bag of 3 trout for 18lb (see photo). One Red £50 Prize Tag was caught this week by lucky angler T McPherson (Glasgow).
