Opened in 2016

Fully stocked with small mirror Carp, Ide, Skimmers, Roach and Perch, with a handful of large Carp up to 16lbs.

Wallace is a “match only” water, due to increasing demand on match days, and to occasionally free-up one of the other match waters on Sundays for pleasure fishing.

Wallace proudly held the Scottish Match Fishing Record, which was 128lb 6oz held by Mr Ian Whitson from Motherwell, Scotland, but this has now been superseded by Queensberry water which is the current Scottish match record holder at 135lb 10oz by cumbrian angler Rob Swan
