6th August 2013 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.
On Sunday morning Chris Grehan gave the club an insight into what the middle of the three pools at Offa's Dyke Fisheries can produce. It had not been fished for some considerable time as I understand and Chris drafted in at short notice was only armed with a few pellets. Nevertheless within a few minutes he was ripped off and immediately beefed up his end tackle. He ended up with four carp to 6lbs and around forty roach to just over a pound. One down and two to go! Although not yet open to members I will keep you informed.
The working party have formed a management group for this complex and the Mount at Buckley which is close by. If you fancy getting involved in the work on the pools just turn up at 9am on Sunday morning. Post Code CH7 4LQ and entrance gate on the right by the traffic lights.
Anthony Simpson reports catching a fin perfect mirror carp of 19-8-0 from Moore Quarry on Sunday. It fell for a pink boilie fished in the margin. He also spotted some really large tench and bream during his session. Another member landed a bream of 7-2-0.
There are a couple of anglers that have started targeting the tiny River Gowy with some quite pleasing results. A quiet approach and changing swims as bites slowed saw some nice roach and perch come to the net. This river definitely does hold a few surprises.
The Mersey match on Sunday saw an upturn in catches with winner Roy Everson putting a bream and roach catch on the scales for 13-7-0. You needed double figures to get in the money.
Worthington Lakes are worth a trip because with catches of thirty plus bream and quality roach you will soon forget about the walk to Adlington or Arley, although the latter is the one producing the bream to maggot and feeder tactics. The walk is on flat well surfaced paths so just take a trolley or simply what you need and not the kitchen sink.
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/ight permits, or any queries.
