31st May 2011 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.
Paul Floyd is a dedicated barbel angler and only joined Warrington Anglers in March this year to target our extensive river fisheries. However during the enforced ninety close season on these venues he decided in the meanwhile to try some of our stillwaters until he could get back to his favourite quarry. Of the five venues so far visited he has enjoyed good sport at each, had personal bests of roach and tench. On his latest visit to Grey Mist Mere he reports that eels are very definitely on the feed having had at least a dozen during the night ranging in size from 1/2 lb to 3 lbs. However a screaming run at 11-30pm resulted in one of the 'new mirrors' at 15lb 12oz followed by a tench of 5.5lbs.
One of the reasons why your reports are so invaluable is that they help follow members to make an informed choice of venue so making better use of their time available for fishing our waters. Tom Williams for example read Alex Egan's report on Wide Hole reported in my column last week so instead of starting his visit from scratch he was ahead of the game and using Alex's method, corn and waggler, was soon into the bream. Tom had a red letter day with nineteen fish to 2.5lbs.
There is more mystery attached to catches from the large lake at Sandiway than speculation on the whereabouts of Colonel Gadaffi or who said what to whom at FIFA. So with my ear to the ground I have heard scraps of gossip regarding a few sizeable fish of late, no proof, just gossip; although I would dearly love anglers in a members club such as ours to treat it as such and not their own preserve or syndicate fishery. So here goes, a thirty four, thirty eight, and a forty. Any chance of a picture or two to show our members? If you don't ask you don't get.
If any youngsters fancy having a go at fishing then our weekly Minnows Summer Series of coached events for beginners and improvers is just the ticket. They are held every Tuesday draw 6pm on the Bridgewater Canal opposite Euclid Avenue. Our qualified coaches will be on hand to help and both members and non-members are more than welcome.
Please send me your catch reports either by phone Tel 01928 716238 or email frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk. HQ Parker Street is open as usual between 7 & 9pm on Friday, for 2011 subscriptions, new memberships, and any queries.
