4th June 2013 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.
Fish are taking advantage of the warmer weather and are more engrossed in breeding as opposed to feeding on the majority of our fisheries. Bailiffs will section areas off where considered necessary and there will be no excuses for fishing where fish are spawning. In any case there is no glory in landing a fish full of spawn and the vast majority of anglers are more eager to watch their antics and use the opportunity to spot potential future target fish whilst they are in the margins.
With the exception of Woodshaw Reservoir that fished quite well the remainder of our match results on the Bridgewater Canal were abysmal with in some cases mere ounces making the frame. At Woodshaw it was up and coming young lady Eve Fletcher that showed the lads a clean pair of heels with a weight of 12-4-0 and over 3lbs to spare over second placed Jake Parkinson on 9lbs.
Gari Hughes reports a couple of carp from Sandiway Small Lake, the best a 21-3-0 mirror plus a few tench including one of 6-15-0 and a PB of 7-5-0. All fell to Magic Munch Baits N1 semi popup hi-viz boilies.
Rhys Ellis had a few carp and tench from Grey Mist Mere this past week which included a 14-7-0 common, 15-6-0 mirror, and another of 20lbs on the dot. I am told a good number of fish were landed towards the end of last week but I understand sport has now come to a virtual standstill.
I visited The Mount at Buckley over the weekend and despite being flooded and the high water conditions causing mayhem to anglers the carp and tench were completely oblivious and still feeding. As reported last week there are only three fishable double pegs. Daz Jones had eleven carp and a few tench.
