9th February 2016 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes
Many thanks to those members who have sent me some cracking photographs of their catches for use on our display boards on stand (456) at the Northern Angling Show held at Event City , Manchester on the 20th and 21st February 2016. We still have room for more but need those catch shots ASAP, thanks in anticipation.
Good catches again on Monday at our popular Disabled & Over 60's which was fished again by popular demand at the Dead Length. Derek Bibby made the most of a good draw to make it his third win of 2016. He drew near Houghs Bridge and fishing maggot and caster on the pole he put 7-9-10 of perch and roach on the scales. Lenny Dutton was in second place with 6-3-4. The lowest weight between Walton and Houghs Bridges was 3-11-0 but if you drew beyond the latter it plummeted 11ounces.
Despite the problem of our parking as yet not sorted out to our stretch of the Sankey St Helens Canal at Carterhouse, Widnes it didn't put of Dave Tranter who fishing a small waggler and loose feeding maggot found the roach and rudd in a feeding mood. Casting across to the far shelf he ended his session with twenty six fish, some around the pound mark.
According to our Wigan bailiff team there are roach and a few carp reported from C & D (Fosters Pools) although the access to our car park is restricted and members should park sensibly on the road. At our Association owned Woodshaw Reservoir Fishery roach are being caught from most pegs along with a few chub and crucians.
Over the next few weeks members may find access to parts of Worthington Lakes temporarily disrupted whilst essential maintenance works are taking place to improve footpaths and general safety. Some sections may be closed and there will be a need to shut the car park at short notice when contractors are on site.
Our headquarters at 52, Parker Street are open as usual every Friday between 7 & 9pm for new members, subscription and night permit renewals, and any queries. Your catch reports are always welcome, email me details to frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk or ring me on 01928 716238.
