24th May, 2016 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes
He was out of the frame last week but in our regular Monday Disabled & Over 60's match Dickies back! Fishing on the Trent & Mersey Canal at Davenham this week saw Dickie Wernham take his second win of the year with a pole caught skimmer and roach catch taken on caster for 4-12-6. Runner up was new boy on the block Roy Rogers (we've done all the jokes) with a similar catch mix for 3-0-4. These matches are friendly and the mickey taking never stops but they are brilliant. PLEASE NOTE due to the bank holiday the match has been re-scheduled for Tuesday.
Sandiway Large (53 acre) lake has had a lot of attention of late due to rumours of a big forty coming out, however while it would show our diligent annual stocking policy is working I have yet to see proof (even if correct probably never will). For those after the bream it has been a non-event as they have been spawning but a few tench around 7 or 8lbs have been reported taken on maggot. Simon Elliott fishing boilie over pellet in the margin has had a few mid-double carp from the small (17-5acre) lake. Just a pointer to members booking on the lakes the mobile signal is rubbish so if you are leaving messages there is a chance that we won't get them or if we do they will sound like gibberish and you may not be as a result booked on. Far better to book before you arrive when you have a good signal.
Phil Hancock with his mate Phil Stokes decided on a change of venue this week and as is their norm at this time of the year were ready to fish at Grey Mist Mere by 5am. Both fished a maggot feeder set-up using maggot or worm on the hook. Phil H landed seven tench ranging from exactly 6lbs to just over 7lbs and Phil S four fish all just over 6lbs. They were in the car on their way home at 11am very happy.
Members have been complaining about the horrible pollution entering Rixton Claypits from the adjacent ditch. It has been reported both by myself and I understand another member and laboratory results from samples are currently being analysed locally. As soon as the Environment Agency come back to me I will let you know the result as it is no use speculating at this time. However this is a re-occurring problem and needs sorting.
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.
