30th June, 2015 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.

Paul Asher enjoyed good sport on Sandiway small lake last week when using chopped boilies on the hook and PVA bags to get past the weed he spodded with 15kg of bait and was into fish within quarter of an hour. He ended the session with five tench, two of which were like peas in a pod at 6-8-0, two bream, and two low double carp.

Carp started spawning on the Sandiway small lake on Tuesday so bailiffs have closed pegs where there is obvious activity. A good number of members have quite rightly opted for a change of venue rather than risk catching fish in their breeding cycle. There have been a few deaths due to the rigours of spawning hence the reason for annual top-up stocking to maintain numbers. Closure of pegs is not an exact science but our bailiffs try their best to achieve a degree of protection of spawning fish and that includes all species.

Weights were down in our Junior Woodshaw Reservoir match but Megan Connell collected her first win of the series with a mixed net of bream and roach weighing 5-4-0 taken on pole and disco maggots. Jake Parkinson was in second place with 4-5-0.

A change of venue from the canal to the Mersey saw Jimmy Byrne still in the prizes but relegated to third thus breaking a successful run of match wins. A local match ace from the same era, Derek Bibby took over the first place with 7-12-0 well ahead of second placed Ernie Lea on 2-4-12.

Ray Boden for the second week in succession had the winning weight on our Saturday Series Mersey match, although not a bream in sight. Ray caught his mixed net of 5-10-0 made up of perch and roach on the pole and maggot. Second placed Derek Bibby with a similar catch for 4-2-0 fished the same method.

Our Mersey Sunday Series saw Bob Clough well clear of the rest with 10-4-0 taken on the quiver tip using maggot and worm made up of a brace of decent bream and three perch. Neil Buist was the runner-up with 4-8-0 of three 1lb skimmers, small roach, and perch also taken on the same method.

The Woodshaw Junior Series held on Monday saw Dane Rawlinson fish pellet and paste on the pole to take crucians and roach to win the match with 8-10-0 of roach and crucians. Runner-up was Connor Croston with 6-12-0.

Just a reminder that members must use the official access points to our fisheries. Fences have been broken down by persons accessing Grey Mist Mere from the Household Waste Site end of the fishery when the entrance is from the opposite end via Bridge Lane.  Bailiffs have been instructed to seize membership cards of offenders.

Paul Floyd kicked of his river season with a 24hour session on our stretch of the Wye and amazingly had it all to himself. He reports that the fishing was outstanding catching six barbel including a long awaited Wye double of 10-5-0. He also had four chub to just over 4lbs. All fish came to running rig feeder tactics and homemade boilie. Over the weekend a change of venue nearer home on our Ribble fishery at Hurst Green Paul landed a 12-5-0 barbel and a chub of 5lbs so in all not a bad weeks fishing.

Some quality tench are coming out of both lakes at Sandiway with Ken Buckley having two at 9lbs and one at 7lbs on Tuesday. The smaller17.5acre water is proving very popular at present as there is currently more carp action, mainly doubles, and rumours of a 34lbs plus caught last week. Add to this that the average size of tench is on the up due to all the high protein feed being introduced and a nine pounder a distinct possibility and you can understand why.

Weights were down in our Junior Woodshaw Reservoir match but Megan Connell collected her first win of the series with a mixed net of bream and roach weighing 5-4-0 taken on pole and disco maggots. Jake Parkinson was in second place with 4-5-0.

Jimmy Byrne has again clocked up yet another win in our Disabled & Over 60's weekly Monday match with a net of small silver fish for 3-9-10. Lenny Dutton was in second spot with 2-14-8 and really only a few fish separated those following.  They have decided on a change of venue to the River Mersey for next week's match in the hope of some heavier weights.

The first River Mersey match of the new season was held on Saturday and saw match organiser Ray Boden chalk up the first win with 8-15-0 made up of a 4lbs bream, skimmers, and perch caught on maggot or worm on leger and quiver tip. The following weights then dropped considerably and Norman Gannon was the runner-up with 2-4-0 made up a small bream and perch fishing the same method.

Our 1^st Association Contest was also held on the Mersey and also won by Ray Boden with a couple of quality bream, skimmers, and perch for 14-1-0 taken again on the tip using maggot or worm. Martin Lenihan fished the same method for second place with 7-12-0 and a similar catch albeit almost half the winners weight. The only angler in the frame who chose to fish the pole was Jimmy Byrne.

The Woodshaw Junior Series held on Monday saw Dane Rawlinson take an early lead to win the match with 19-13-0 of roach, crucians, and tench taken on pole and pellet. Matt Dawber fished a similar method and was in second place with 8-10-0. Don't forget this weekly series is open to all our junior members so if you are interested drop me an email for details.

​16th June 2015 Warrington Anglers Guardian Notes​

16th June, 2015 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes. Here I am writing this column when I should really be fishing somewhere celebrating the opening of the coarse fish close season on rivers. Well I suppose after my trip to Ireland last week it is a fair penance when on a red letter day near to Holy Island on Lough Derg all four of us could not lift our nets of large bream, hybrids, and roach. However our bailiff on the Dee Mike Lewis fished swims at Worthenbury using a maggot feeder he caught lots of small chub and dace but nothing of any size. It was the same story on the Mersey when Martin James who was there at first light had only a few small fish to show for his efforts. He witnessed another angler running a stick float land a chub but Martin did comment though that the river looks great. He also reports catching a brace of 1.5lbs perch on lures from the Bridgewater in the week. Nick Roberts along with his nine year old son fished Cicely Mill Pool on Saturday and settled on a peg on the short bank. Using the pole and fishing just off the edge of the weed it certainly looked idyllic, however all was not as it seemed and they could not get a bite on corn or punched meat for love nor money. A change to red maggot saw fortunes change with a nice run of 8oz roach plus smaller ones and perch. As sport slowed after an hour they were left watching the 'submarines' cruising around in the sun. With Sam getting bored Nick found a bronze maggot in amongst the reds and joked, "Watch this then". His float had only settled for a second when it shot away and as he watched the fluorescent orange elastic stretch to 20 metres he realised he was into a decent fish. The end result was a bewildered 11.5lbs common carp that went absolutely berserk in the small landing net. With his winning net of 6-13-6 Jimmy Byrne had a couple of pounds margin over second placed John Dagnall with 4-15-8. John led the pack from thereon in with two further catches of over 4lbs following. The usual tried and tested method of bread punch and pole scored again proving to be the best method overall. The Woodshaw Junior Series held on Monday saw Dane Rawlinson take an early lead to win the match with 19-13-0 of roach, crucians, and tench taken on pole and pellet. Matt Dawber fished a similar method and was in second place with 8-10-0. Don't forget this weekly series is open to all our junior members so if you are interested drop me an email for details. A reminder that with the exception of parts of the Mersey, Sankey St Helens Canal, and Worthington Lakes where day permits are available from outlets prior to fishing all others are members only. Also alcohol is a definite licence loser … no excuses as the rules are clear enough it is not allowed on any of our fisheries. Please email me your catch reports to frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk or you can ring me on 01928 716238.

​ 9th June 2015 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes. Eight year old Charlotte Bather has been accompanying her Dad Steve to our Offas Dyke fishery on a regular basis where they have had some nice catches of roach and perch on pole and maggot. Last Saturday though she tried a change of tactics to method feeder and entice 10mm pop ups which bagged a very nice 8lb common carp her new pb needless to say one very happy young lady. Our junior Sqad at Woodshaw Wigan have been representing WAA over the last few weeks in the Gtr Manchester CADG spring series although some of the team are very young only 9 and 10 years old they still took everything in their stride. Including being a man down in one match and some dire weather conditions to finished a very creditable second overall. Team Coach Bob Morris is delighted with their commitment and perseverance. Big thank you to Bob, his helpers and the parents who got them to the matches. Dave Walls reported a great morning on Woodshaw Reservoir when he caught crucian carp to 2lb, tench and bream to 3lb and loads of 2 to 3 oz roach and skimmers all caught alternating between corn and maggot because he left his pellets, the usual bait of choice at Woodshaw, at home. Mike Dench had a trip to the Ribble at the weekend and it is safe to say the chub and barbel are getting the spawning out of the way before the rivers open for coarse fishing next Tuesday. He filmed shoals busy spawning in the shallow water hopefully it will be ideal conditions and a good year for both. Just a couple of reminders dogs are not allowed on our waters, one rod on Cicily mill pool, two rods not three on small Sandiway lake until October. It is one of the conditions of membership that members acquaint themselves with the rules. If you are intending to night fish any of the waters It is a good idea to book on before you leave home, if you get to a fishery and set up then ring you might find it is already booked up for that night. So best to be sure of a place before you travel to the venue. Please note Challinor's Sports LTD has not been a WAA depot since last year when Beverly and Neil retired. The new owner decided not to apply to be a depot so please don't go in expecting to pay subs then giving him 'grief'. Subs can be paid at all the current depots listed in the licence, HQ Parker Street and by post. Ray Boden is organising a party on Sunday 14th June all help much appreciated meeting at the iron gates peg 74 at 9am Please email me your catch reports to frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk or you can ring me on 01928 716238.

2nd June 2015 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.

The Mount is rarely out of the news lately as the low water table conditions have more or less created three pools with each capable of providing excellent sport. It appears as the water levels dropped the tench headed for the heavier weeded small pools and with this information this is where Eddie Simonds set up for his session. He started off with a small PVA bags filled with micro pellets and crushed halibuts with a small pop-up on the hook and after several casts decided it was time for a brew. Well, it wasn't to be as as he unscrewed the flask it was fish on, but he lost the first two fish. A change of hook length put Eddie back in charge and he ended his session with fourteen fish, the largest were like peas in a pod at 6-2 -0 apiece. This fishery is not all tench and carp by any means as it is also producing excellent roach sport on pole or wagger tactics from the main larger pool along with some quality bream. There are no special baits needed just a pint of maggots. I just wonder if anyone has tried hemp or tares because I reckon if the weather warms up we could see some really hectic sessions. Anyone up for trying it let me know how you get on.

A trip to Rixton Claypits by member Trevor Green last week saw him enjoy according to him, "my best ever days fishing" when using a small groundbait feeder set-up and double maggot on the hook he literally had the bream queuing up to suck up his offerings. Trevor ran out of bait but not before his tally was forty eight fish, mainly bream plus a few roach and three tench. Now I couldn't tell anyone how many fish I had caught once past a dozen if my life depended on it but Trev swears by his counter.

Around our lakes and waters fish are at this time heavy with spawn and getting ready for their annual breeding antics. Whilst I wouldn't expect any of our members to target fish in these circumstances our bailiffs will be closing pegs or areas at short notice in the interests of fish welfare which should always be foremost in our minds.

The river Alyn is proving popular with game anglers but mainly small trout and grayling reported. If any member has found a wildlife camera on the river in the Fagl Lane area please get in touch with me.

Our Disabled & Over 60's match this week saw Alan Brown who has rarely been out of the frame of late take a clear win with an all roach catch taken on the pole and punch bread for 3-5-2. Ronnie Durr was in the runner-up spot two pounds adrift of the winner with 1-3-12. This time of the year fish are generally congregated near to spawning areas so the low weights are no surprise.
