Was there on Saturday caught 6 decent rainbows using dawsons olive

Newmills trout fishery has sadly been in decline over last couple of years,i have fished their a few times as my parents stay in lanark which is close to fishery and so have fished it a few times over last couple of years and found the fish would mostly go for lures as they are feeding on the bottom of the pools and rarely rise to dries.

agree with you there - but still a good chance of a good double!

Do you fish newmills sduff used to catch some decent sized fish at this fishery but find fish around 2 pound mark and usually tails and fins are not in best condition.

Fished it loads last year but been away since - so I was going to giving it a go in the near future

would try other fisheries before fishing newmills unless you are local to this fishery..

You will get fish on fry patterns max,did you get any offers on the surface as usually fish feed on the bottom of the ponds at this fishery..
