The final match in the Woodshaw series for our young members was held last week, this annual series run by our local water management team who provided prizes for all taking part and a barbeque for competitors and their families after to wind up proceedings.
The new John Mark Cullen Memorial Shield was presented for the first time to the overall winner of the series Shaun Gaskell. Thanks must go to all involved.
Also in Wigan please be aware on Sunday the Haig Aspull & Blackrod Agricultural show will be held on the windmill field near D&C waters so they will not be accessible to fish next weekend.
Mark and Rob Burdock found Cicely Mill pool on form last Tuesday Rob fishing waggler and maggot had a roach a chuck including a few decent ones from the off and a couple of nice bonus bream. Mike on the next peg fishing feeder with worm on the hook got the crucian carps attention, included in his catch eight or nine around the 2lb mark.
River catches have improved dramatically the Mersey match on Sunday saw most anglers having good nets of dace, perch and roach with winner Lennie Dutton `gob smacked' when he pulled his net out and saw the 8lb or so he had estimated was in fact over 14lb of small fish!
I had a trip out to the Dee last Tuesday with committee member Dean Barlow, a born and bred `Trentman,' Dean who like me would probably put rivers as his first love had never fished the Dee. He was impressed with the beauty of the area and the river as much as the quality of the fishing and his catch a stunning net of over sixteen pound of pristine dace, chub to 1lb and some beautiful grayling around the 1.5lb mark with a better one lost at the net as well as twenty salmon parr and some trout all on stick float and bronze maggot. Yours truly had a nice day but the best catch was certainly Deans.
Chester tackle dealer Wendy Locker reported the Dee at Almere Ferry was also fishing well, her partner and lifelong Dee angler Simon Loyley had his first ever barbel there last week and will undoubtedly be back after its bigger brothers!
Best of luck to our senior team competing in the Angling Trust Div 1National Championships on the river Trent this Saturday
