Warrington Anglers Report 7th June 2010
Next Wednesday sees the opening of the season on our river venues after the compulsory three month closed season. As with past tradition there will be a match taking place on the river Mersey next Wednesday the 16th June with the draw taking place at 9-00am at Weir Lane.
A report received this week just proves that specimen fish can be caught in some of our smaller venues with member Carl Andrews taking a 22lb mirror carp from our complex at Highleigh fisheries.
Grey Mist is still fishing well for tench with fish to 8lbs 10ozs being caught and a carp 0f 29lbs 12ozs reported. I spent some time around this water on Sunday and was given a guided tour of the work being carried out by our volunteers. This weekend saw the construction of five new pegs which are well designed and sturdily constructed which should withstand many years of use affording comfortable conditions for anglers. We would welcome any new volunteers to progress and complete the our plans for this water so if you could spare some time to put something back into your sport please go along to the mist and volunteer.
Cicley Mill Pool still remains popular with most pegs being taken each day and according to the anglers I spoke to last week the sport is good with tench, bream and crucian carp being caught. Work is taking place on this venue to repair the fence along the field side so at times this work may impact on availability of some pegs.
Rixton Clay pits continues to fish well for tench to 6lb and bream to 5lbs being caught but reports of carp being caught are rare apart from an unconfirmed report of a 30lb plus specimen being taken
I received reports the Macclesfield canal is fishing well on all lengths of the canal with good nets of bream, roach and perch being caught The most prolific sections are reported to be at Astbury, Scholer Green and the Warf with the latter being more productive for bream and good roach. Both the Bridgewater and Trent and Mersey canals are fishing quite well in certain areas with decent nets of fish being taken. Match results on Bridgewater canal have been fairly good with 5 to 6lb being required to win.
The weekly junior match this week saw a change of venue from the canal with the match taking place on Brookside fisheries which gave the juniors a different insight to angling. This also gave them opportunity to expand their skills to this type of fishing which will serve them well in future team competions. This change of venue was organised by Helen Dagnall who along with our regular volunteers coached the juniors on the different methods and I would like to thank her and the team for their support also I would like to thank Mike Timmins of Brookside for his support by offering his venue. Keeping on the junior match scene the Woodshaw reservoir summer series for both juniors and intermediates got underway this week. Everybody is welcome and the matches take place every Monday evening with the draw at 5pm.It would be nice to hear any reports from our river venues next week so please forward information of not only your catches but the venues themselves.
