22nd May 2012 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.
Woodshaw Reservoir is really on form with quality crucians, roach, and occasional bream to 3lbs featuring in most catches. This past week several members have took my advice and visited this small Association owned fishery for the first time; Ian Brownlea fished pole and paste at nine metres and caught eleven crucians and three bream, he reckons that he will be making a return trip sometime soon.
Graham Heaton sent me some cracking pictures of two mirror carp he caught from Grey Mist Mere last week weighing in at 19-0-6 and 23-10-0. Steve Broadhurst reports a mid-week catch of nineteen tench ranging from around 3lbs to the largest weighed at 6-12-0. All took mini-boilies using a PVA bag to keep the free offerings in a tight area.
Patrick Tierney enjoyed a productive early morning pole session at Rixton Claypits when he had four bream around 3lbs, four real slabs around 9lbs, plus three tench with the best going to an estimated 9lbs. All were taken at 9metres feeding micro-pellet and fishing red maggot over the top in three and half hours.
The Mount is still producing plenty of action to all methods, Steve Morrison even took a good double figure carp whilst fly fishing. I can guarantee it put a greater bend in his rod than the trout he usually catches. The capture was witnessed by 'Mount devote' Neil Plunkett who described the fly which was tied from dear fur as a floating dog biscuit imitation. Neil himself had a good session landing five carp with almost as many slipping the hook plus a solitary bream of 4lbs.
John Ainsworth fished Ackers Pit for the first time on Thursday and was kept busy with chunky roach and rudd which seem to be really doing well, four tench, and two carp which led him a merry dance with his 4's elastic being stretched to the absolute limit. He pole-fished two swims at 12metres with maggot and red coloured corn.
The Disabled & Over 60's match was won by match organiser John Dagnall who's net of bread and caster caught skimmers and roach for 3-3-10 rocketed him from zero to hero. I believe there is a clamour now from regulars to get their hands on a copy of the winning pole rig. Dave Blease could only manage runner up spot with 2-13-0 after losing some decent fish at the net.
Our Junior and Intermediate Summer Series saw junior member Adam Harman an easy winner with 24-0-0 whilst the Intermediate match was won with an identical weight by Jack Bellis followed closely by Ryan Brown on 23-10-0.
I really would appreciate more members catch reports either by phone Tel 01928 716238 or email frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk. HQ 52, Parker Street is now open as usual between 7 & 9pm every Friday, for subscriptions, new memberships/night permits, or any queries.
