6th July 2010 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes
Our Hay on Wye stretch has been producing some cracking barbel according to my friend and previous owner of the fishery, Alan Bashford. So far this season he has heard of a 14lbs fish with a fair number over 10lbs. Alan's best fish since opening day is just over 10lbs but he reckons that he lost a really huge one on Saturday which took 50 yards of line on its first run, unfortunately just as he started to gain some line the hook pulled out. This Association owned stretch also holds quality chub, pike, roach, and big dace, plus of course salmon trout, and shad.
The carp at Grey Mist Mere are keeping their heads down with bailiff and regular Steve Kemble only managing two of our recently stocked mirrors over the weekend. However it is a different tale for the resident tench stocks as they have really got their heads down on the feed. Lots of fish between 4 and 6lbs.
I paid a brief visit to Statham Pool on Tuesday to find the water level way down from the almost unfishable flooded winter conditions. There were fish topping everywhere and father and son duo Phil and Rick Chung were making the most of the bonanza with a fish every cast. Both were fishing the pole, Phil on bread punch and his son using pellet saw them catching skimmers, roach, and hybrids, with the best taken by Rick, a hybrid of 2lbs.
Our Wide Hole at Poynton is producing some decent catches of bream, on Sunday Ian Roberts from Salford had 25lbs during his visit and also reports landing a 17.5lbs carp on his 2.5lbs line in a previous bream session two weeks previous. Worth a visit.
Paul Edwards reports that although the River Dane at Holmes Chapel was running low and clear last week his evening visit was definitely worthwhile. Spotting chub under an overhanging willow he was soon into a fish which almost snatched the rod from his hands, the result a chub weighing 4-14-0. He had already baited a second swim and was immediately smashed by a sizeable barbel, one of a brace which along with large chub were feeding on his bait. He ended his evening with seven chub and the memory of a lost barbel battle.
Our junior squad groundbait sponsors are offering all anglers a chance to bag a net full of their products with £500 of BAIT-TECH bait up for grabs. They have a great competition exclusive to Facebook fans called 'The Name Game.' For further information check out BAIT-TECH's group page on Facebook.
