Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes 10th July 2008

 

Some interesting reports from around the rivers  Chris Dyer and Jamie Hankinson set out for the Ribble on Sunday but decide to try the Wyre which they had never fished before. The result was loads of chub and dace and a new personal best 7lb 2oz bream for Chris taken on maggot, Jamie favored the roaming approach and had chub to 3lb8oz on deadbait; on the same dead bait he had a 10lb pike, while he was playing it one of its much bigger relatives decided it looked like a taste morsel and gave him a fight for it! Jamie also had a perch of 1lb 2oz on worm.

 

 Chris Edwards chose the Vyrnwy at Llananynech on Sunday; he had a mixed bag, grayling to 1lb, chub and dace to 1lb and a bonus 3lb sea trout. Interestingly he was targeting the barbel and knew they were there because as he was feeding hemp they were rattling and popping open his feeder to get to the hemp! All the signs of barbel in the peg but nothing he tried on the hook would tempt a bite, until he connected with a big fish that screamed off, and then snapped him on an underwater snag.

The Dane is still fishing well with father and son duo Chris Hands Senior having a good bag of grayling while son Chris had six chub to 41/2lb all anglers catching well.

Members are reminded that it is barbless hooks only on the Mersey and keepnets may only be used in matches.

 The catch of the month winner for June is Steven Lloyd with a 13lb1oz bream from big Sandiway, backed up by another of  12lb 6oz both taken in the same session.

The June junior winner is one of our newest members 9 year old Courtney Wright who decided to take up fishing with her young sister Olivia. The girls were bought WAA licenses and a 3meter whip each, taken by Dad to Grappenhall trees on the Bridgewater for their first afternoon session. Olivia had 23 roach, perch and gudgeon and Courtney a similar catch of 20 +small fish. These girls are quick learners and the `just one last cast' plea gave them all a shock when it turned out to be a 2lb12oz eel for Courtney.

Pleas keep your entries coming in the July prizes are now up for grabs!
