The water at Heights Road, Blackridge, is fishing well with a trout of over 17lbs landed there in the last few days.

Bait fishermen can land a free permit in January if they catch a fish over 13lbs and it is verified by a member of staff or another angler.

Elsewhere, East Fife Shore Angling Club host their annual open on Sunday, January 5.
