Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes 3rd July 2008
Worthington lakes are worth a visit odd carp and cruciens being caught on Arley, tench and hybrids mainly on Adlington with bream to 7lb and plenty of roach and perch from all three lakes.
Woodshaw reservoir is also providing good sport with plenty of cruciens, good roach and tench along with small skimmers and perch.
Tree and silt and reed clearance and work are completed at Forster's pools and seeding and peg construction and are now progressing well.
Big Sandiway is producing some beautiful bream to 13lb+ as well as odd carp Malcolm Crawshaw had a lovely carp of 18lb which we have not got in the archive neither is it one of the recently stocked fish.
The Mersey was re filled last weekend after the EA flood defense works were completed and despite being like the `Orinoco' swirling, and with floating logs and debris going through fish were topping everywhere Mike Pritchard on peg 4 took a good net of roach to 1lb, perch and skimmers to 1lb all on a small waggler and bronze maggot and just holding back. Sundays Tom James Open saw plenty of eels and skimmers, Alan Faulkner included a 3lb bream in his winning net.
The Wye was perfect with just a tinge of colour when Alan Wands was there on Saturday he had a dozen chub and numerous trout then a new personal best barbel of 6lb all on hair rigged halibut pellet. However that was not to last and his next barbel was 81/2lb he then lost another three!
The Bridgewater is providing consistent sport with good pleasure and match catches members report nets of caster roach to 1lb and small skimmers on pinkie and maggot. Pellet and corn is favorite for decent bream to 3lb in most areas.
Steve Daly nipped to Cecily at first light on Saturday for a couple of hours, although targeting the tench he had some good sport from the resident cruciens, before reluctantly packing in to go and attend a friends wedding.
The Dane is still obliging and members who visit with last weekend seeing near perfect conditions, bags of decent chub were becoming almost the norm Brian Clayton had six chub best 5lb, Ron Williams also had a 5lb chub in his catch and Peter Riley's best was 41/2lb.
Best of Luck to our junior teams on the NFA National on the Stainforth & Keadby Canal this Saturday.
