8th October 2013 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.
Stuart Peters made all the right enquiries early on Sunday morning and saw that the Wye was up a couple of foot and so desperate for some action after almost a 6 week lay-off he could hardly wait to get to the river. He was hopeful that this would make amends for his last trip fished on a hot July day and a low river when sort was poor. Well he was more than pleased as he finished his five hour session with 5 chub ranging from 3 to 4lbs, a barbel of 6lbs, several grayling around the pound mark including a new PB of 2.2lbs and a dozen dace and chublets and a trout for good measure. All fish were taken using groundbait/pellet feeder with pellet on the hook or bunches of maggots and a maggot feeder. As he said, "An enjoyable day after too long off the bank."
The Disabled & Over 60's match saw a change of venue on Monday to the Mersey and results speak for themselves and the fact they are there again next week. Jimmy Byrne took top spot with a mixed net of roach and perch for 7-2-6 and Alan Clarke followed with 6-7-2. Match organiser John Dagnall reckons that he would have been well in the money as he put 3.5lbs in the net but had more than that ripped off the hook by pike!
We have now joined in partnership with Northwich AA on a short stretch of Budworth Mere on the sailing club side. Maps will be available shortly of this and the Alyn at Caergwree. Please do not ring me up and ask for directions to the latter as although I have been I went a convoluted route courtesy of our local bailiff Mike Lewis, but there are notices up so if in the interim you can find it you can fish it.
For the information of those members who fish Fosters Pools please note that the C & D car park is unavailable to members for a short period as there are cattle in the field. Our lock has been temporarily removed and anglers using the fisheries will need to park carefully on the roadside.
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.
