14th June 2011 Warrington Anglers Guardian Notes

14^th June 2011 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.

Our 'catch of the month' competition for May was won by Harry Minshull with a tench from Moore Quarry which was one of a brace of specimens weighing 9-3-0 and 10lbs exactly. Harry wins £100 of Bait-Tech products plus a Korda carp care kit. A consolation prize of a carp care kit goes to Chris Pownell for a 21-8-0 common carp from Cicily Mill Pool.

After a frustrating ninety day coarse fish close season on our rivers its business as usual as they re-open on Thursday 16^th June. Warrington stretches of the River Mersey have been the subject of some serious TLC by our regular working party volunteers who have been frantically clearing, and repairing pegs in readiness. Dave Brooks is also holding a working party on Saturday, all welcome, meet Weir Lane adjacent to Victoria Park at 9-30am, bring small hand tools, hammer spade etc.

At Worthington Lakes, Adlington the smaller fishery on the three lake complex also re-opens on 16^th June and is home to the larger carp with fish rumoured to be approaching the high thirties, some keen members are already booked on in anticipation after the long layoff. Meanwhile Arley, the middle lake, continues to give reasonable sport judging by member George Wilson's mixed catch of  bream and roach which he estimated at over 50lbs with bream to 3.5lbs all taken on a small groundbait feeder and double red maggot.

At Grey Mist Mere the odd carp are keeping sport alive however tench are somewhat scarce and maggots are only producing a few small roach and perch. It can only improve but on the plus side the fishery looks a million dollars with the new pegs and pathways thanks to our local management team. There is still more to complete so if you fancy getting involved give me a ring or an email and I will pass your details on. I noticed a small amount of litter on my visit on Tuesday; you know the rules, take it home or lose your licence.

The Sankey St Helens Canal at Carterhouse is giving good sport with bream and rudd, Dave Shaw reports a phenomenal catch of 18 rudd for 32lbs from this underused fishery. With reasonable parking available it is definitely worth a visit.

Please keep sending me your catch reports either by phone Tel 01928 716238 or email frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk. HQ Parker Street is now open as usual between 7 & 9pm on Friday, for 2011 subscriptions, new memberships, and any queries.
