31st October, 2017 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes
We will be carrying out our annual carp stocking on Saturday starting with Grey Mist Mere around 10am and then Moore Quarry followed by Sandiway Lakes. The fish are from VS Fisheries are all C6's (six summers old) and should be twenty pounders. Any members who fancy turning up are more than welcome.
Ian McGrath on his fifth visit to our stretch of the Ribble at Hurst Green on Monday just managed to net a cracking salmon before the end of the season the following day. Taken on fly the fish weighed between 16 and 17lbs but a low phone battery deprived him of a really top bragging photo. Ian released the fish to breed and hopefully return a bigger specimen.
On Monday Anthony Rough enjoyed a short session before work on the River Alyn at Hope where he fished a small stick-float and double maggot on the hook. Loose-feeding maggot and fishing one of the deeper bends he caught nine brown trout and seven grayling up to a pound. Not huge fish but a nice couple of hours with plenty of bites before work.
George Hollis made the most of his bridge-hole draw on our regular Monday Disabled & Over 60's match which was fished this week on the Trent & Mersey Canal at Northwich. George fished pole and maggot to catch a mixed net of roach, skimmers, and a few chunky perch for a weight of 5-15-8 that gave him over 1lb buffer over second placed Graham Belton. Graham fished the same method but missed out on the perch for 4-12-0. Nineteen fished.
Predictably low weights on Sundays Mersey Match Series but local rod Jim Gannon fishing a ground bait feeder and maggot just kept ounces ahead of second placed Mersey devote Paul Harding. Jim put 3-4-0 of roach on the scales against Paul's 3lbs dead. No match until 12th November due to high tides.
