3rd July 2012 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.
The June catch of the month junior winner was 14year old Dan Richards with a 22-4-0 carp caught from Cicily Mill Pool which earns him a bait prize valued at over £50 plus a carp care kit. It was you might say a family occasion as the committee made a special award to his dad Mark for his recent catch of a previously unknown mirror of 32-4-0 from Appleton Reservoir. This is the end of this competition in its present format but watch this space.
Paul Edwards had the Ribble at Hurst Green to himself last week that saw him catch four chub with the largest weighing 5-12-0 plus a lone barbel of 8-3-0. He fished an upstream rod and pellet packed groundbait feeder with a 10mm halibut on the hair; and downstream a maggot feeder with a bunch of maggots tied to the hair and a size 10s hook.
Anglers are reporting plenty of small chub and dace from the River Dee but there is a marked absence of barbel and larger fish. However Ian Scarth bucked the trend using maggot feeder tactics on the river at Shocklach. He added regular helpings of hemp in the feeder to attract lots of small chub plus six better stamp fish, the best at 5-12-0. He lost a barbel at the net that he played as he said, "for an age" only for it to slip the hook at the net and sink slowly beneath the surface. Don't forget if you fish this venue park on the left by the farm buildings.
Reports that the tench have started to spawn at Grey Mist Mere will have put paid to many anglers hopes for a tinca session for these olive green beauties. A few decent fish were reported at the back end of last week, the best an almost identical brace by Alan Hancox taken on dead maggot weighing in at 7-4-0 and 7-6-0.
The popular Woodshaw Reservoir Junior Series continues to produce some cracking results which saw George Winstanley step up from his last week's runner up position to take the top spot with 9-10-0 and over 3lbs clear of second placed Josh Dawber on 6-8-0.
The very best of luck to our two junior teams who are competing in the Manchester CAGG event At Bradshaw Fisheries on Saturday.
