Dogged by bad weather and a frozen canal match organiser John Dagnall finally got his 'Christmas Prize Match' out of the way on Monday and it was almost a full turnout with twenty eight anglers fishing. Ray Bowden put a mixed net of 4-11-0 on the scales to take the prize money and some late Xmas goodies. Match regular Lennie Dutton was runner-up with 3-15-0. Nice to see Graham Belton back in action after an enforced layoff due to ill health, and showing he has not lost his touch coming in fifth place.
It's rewarding when a plan comes together; I am talking about Ackers Pit where anglers are drifting back, no doubt encouraged by rumours of some action on this underused and once ever so popular fishery. Well I am pleased to say that in this instance the rumour mongers have got it right for once, the recently stocked carp are feeding so get down there for some action. Reports please.
Our memberships will be going out in the next couple of weeks so if anyone has moved address please get in touch to ensure that you receive your card. We have had no cause to increase prices which have been held steady since the present financial debacle.
At Grey Mist Mere there is more work being carried out to improve pegs and pathways than actual catch action although I understand a few of last year's new fish are being landed. Reports please so that we can continue monitoring growth and progress etc. Not a nice subject, but some disgusting member left the fishery toilet in a filthy state so what his home is like I shudder to think. It was really embarrassing for our club because it was a lady volunteer doing work for WAA who could not use it.
Please keep sending in your catch reports whatever they are, good, bad, or indifferent, as they are invaluable. Contact me either by phone Tel 01928 716238 or email frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk.
HQ Parker Street is now open as usual between 7 & 8.30pm on Friday, for 2011 night permits and new memberships. The latter can still also be purchased from Baileys Tackle, Cheshire Angling, and Challinors Sports in Warrington or at our other depots as listed on our website, or online at www.warrington-anglers.org.uk.
