20th August 2013 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.
Ian Gregory was in for a treat when he fished at popular Woodshaw Reservoir for the first time despite being a longstanding member he now knows just what he has been missing all these years. He fished two lines on the pole at 8 and 13metres using a different approach to the local experts, simple bread punch and sloppy liquidised loaf to net twelve crucians, seven bream, three tench, and lots of suicidal roach.
Al Morris followed his two back to back runner-up spots in our Mersey Series with a well deserved win with a10-1-0 net of perch and roach caught from peg 22 fishing maggot and short pole tactics. He was 2.5lbs clear of runner up Ste Featherstone who weighed in 7-9-0 fishing the stick float. There were plenty of good back-up weights so if members fancy trying their luck match on a river our organiser Ant Higham will both take your money and make you welcome.
Worthington Reservoirs at Wigan are really producing good sport with bream and roach to both feeder and slider tactics. Ian Sloan enjoyed his day ticket session of a nineteen all bream catch so much that he ended up joining Warrington Anglers the following day. Definitely worth a visit.
The working party at Offa's Dyke Fisheries is still ongoing and the small band of volunteers whose works so far have been a real slog and involved a mixture of removing lots of self seeded trees, weed clearance, and even bridge building. Members keep asking when it will be open well the truth is the working party members really could do with a hand to speed up the fisheries opening. They are almost there but your help and muscle would really be appreciated. Also they particularly need anyone who is licensed to use a chainsaw to remove trees from the islands. You will be fed and watered and made welcome. Meet on the car park at 9am on Sunday CH7 4LQ postcode is just short of the gateway by a few hundred yards but is adjacent to traffic lights where the road narrows to single carriageway.
