29th March 2016 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes
Lots of work has been going on around our fisheries over the Easter period despite the horrendous weather conditions on Monday. Our hardy band of fishery volunteers were out at Offa's Dyke where the otter deterrent fencing was checked over after a small carp around six pounds was found dead and half eaten. Mink could be the culprit so our guys in conjunction with the farmer are looking at surveillance equipment. A number of overhanging trees were trimmed on the island of pool two to improve a number of angling pegs.
At Statham Pool pathways were reinstated and the pruning of bushes to improve angler access and to give the fishery a spring makeover. Certainly our replacement truck which has a tipper back came in handy when transporting the stone and other materials.
Don't forget if you fancy getting involved in working parties simply drop into HQ on a Friday evening and have a chat with committee members or join our Warrington Anglers Volunteers on Facebook. You will meet likeminded members and I guarantee you will enjoy just getting involved. Thanks to everyone who gave their time over the holiday period.
A number of our recently stocked carp are giving some sport at Rixton Claypits thanks to our netting team and volunteers who helped with the introductions. Although due to circumstances beyond our control only a fraction of fish intended for Phoenix Park were able to be stocked however I understand they are showing.
Just another reminder that all rivers are closed for coarse fish angling until the season opens again on the 16th June. Any sightings of anglers coarse fishing should be reported immediately to the Environment Agency 24 hour emergency Freephone number (landlines) 0800 807060.
Apologies for the short column this week but news has been scarce. 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.
