21st June 2011 Warrington Anglers Guardian Notes

21st June 2011 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.

Congratulations to our WAA Blue team who have just qualified for the Van Den Eynde Supercup Final with 37 points. Managed by Jeff Stoll the team put in a good performance at Woodlands View on Saturday to get through in their first year in this competition. Jake Fowles section win just gave the team the edge on the day. The final is on the 10^th July at Tunnel Barn Fishery.

A decent sized eel has been reported this week from the Bridgewater Canal at Grappenhall by member Tony Halagan. The fish was 5lbs and is one of a number of notable catches from this fishery. I can never understand why Anguilla Club members don't give this water more attention, especially as a fish of over 9lbs was found dead a few years ago.

Following my report last week that Grey Mist was only producing a few small roach and perch Chris Taylor shot me down in flames by reporting a few days later that in a four hour session he had over 50 fish all on double white maggot. Nothing too big but the float kept going under.

The Tom James Open Match fished on the River Mersey was definitely a lot harder than the Open Day Special on the 16^th where over 9lbs was needed to make a serious challenge for the money. Ros Whiteman took top honours from end peg 34 with small roach, perch, and dace for 4-10-0.

So whilst the Bridgewater matches produced some rather grim results it was better news from our junior series at Woodshaw Reservoir where the (7 – 14 years) age group was won with 7-9-0 of roach by Kieran Garside, Shaun Gaskell confirmed his mastery of this prolific fishery by another win in the 15 to 18 category with 8-12-0.

It is with great sadness that I report the sudden death in reported tragic circumstances of member Harry Morris whilst out fishing last week. Our condolences and sympathy go out to his family at their time of grief.

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.
