Title: Waulkmill Fishery
Post by: Patrick on 27/06/2011 at 15:58: Have been up to Waulkmill several times this week. Both days I have had a great day. Weather conditions were a bit dodgy, however did not seem to have an impact. First day I was up I caught 8 fish all above 5lb , very good fighting fish. The second day I caught 11 again all above 5lb. I was up with my grandfather and he caught 4 blue trout, which were excellent fish.

I can inform you that he did put in blues, as my grandfather had crimonmoggate fishery and my grandfather and George were good friends and i remember George telling me himself that he put in blues. And the angling club has been putting in larger fish as I was talking to an angling club warden and he said that they do now and again. :z16

Its run by the Broch angling club now, you can get day tickets from the shop in the square at Maud. Its £10 C & R or £15 for 2 fish.

Well I have caught several and my grandfather aswell, and we do know what they look like as my grandfather stocked blues when he had his fishery. Also George said he stocked aswell. So you must have of been unlucky to catch some.
