2nd July 2013 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes

2nd July 2013 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.

Some really good news this week is that Warrington Anglers Association has now acquired the lease on Offa's Dyke Coarse Fishery situated at Mold, Flintshire. It has three pools set in a mixture of fields and woodland and was previously run as a day ticket fishery. Exact fish stocks are unknown but I have witnessed plenty of fry and feeding fish on the original pool so it will be a case of suck it and see. Initially it needs some TLC such as trimming bushes, weed removal, grass cutting, and general peg maintenance so we are now looking for volunteers to help complete this work before it is opened up to our membership. Interested in speeding up the process? We are running a working party on Sunday 7^th July, starting around 9ish. Please give me a ring. Those who help out will get the first chance to fish it whilst we evaluate fish stocks.

Mel McGall a member from Devon certainly enjoyed his narrow boat holiday on the Bridgewater Canal. He especially liked the Lymm area where he claimed to have eaten the best sausage and chips he had ever tasted only bettered by the quality bream that he caught on the Bridgewater Canal.  Fishing a size 10's hook hair rigged with two pieces of corn and tipped by a flouro- pink maggot he was definitely not targeting smaller species and reckoned that this was the first time he had needed to play bream as they fought like tigers. All fish were in the 4 to 5lbs range.

We run a weekly Minnows match for beginners every Tuesday evening draw at 6pm on the Bridgewater Canal opposite Euclid Avenue, Grappenhall. We have coaches in attendance to help youngsters improve their skills and altogether it is a fun evening where you will meet others who share your interest in angling. Contact Helen Dagnall at Cheshire Angling on 01925 635486 or simply turn up at the draw, all welcome. If you haven't fished before but fancy having a go then ring Helen and she will organise some tackle for you to use.

Keep sending in your catch reports which are invaluable to this column and fellow members. Either ring me on 01928 716238 or email frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk. HQ 52, Parker Street is open as usual between 7 & 9-00pm on Friday, for subscriptions, new memberships/night permits, or any queries.
