20th March, 2018 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes
New member Ian Street has had a long layoff from angling, a quarter of a century or thereabouts, and thought that he may be a little rusty. Well, he had nothing to fear last week as on his first trip to Fosters Pools at Wigan he caught four decent sized chub. Welcome back Ian to our great sport.
I hear that a few tench are being caught from Grey Mist with one angler reportedly having eight or nine tincas on maggot feeder. There have also been a fair number of carp anglers lining the banks and hopefully catching the odd fish. Who knows?
Jim Andrews took advantage of the improvement in the weather this week and chose High Legh Fishery for his first outing since October. On a sunny day with a bit of wind chill but shielded by the surrounding high banks he settled down in his swim using a small groundbait feeder and maggots. He was enjoying his surroundings and hardly expecting any miracles fish wise which turned out to be spot on as his tip was stationary throughout, not a busted or skinned maggot, zilch. But, Jim still enjoyed his time on the bank.
There are continuing good reports of decent roach catches coming from Appleton Reservoir where I understand maggot and feeder tactics are producing quality fish. Worth a visit but ensue that you park on our car park.
Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse our Disabled & Over 60's results this week are deserving a four-letter word…. dire! Fished on the Bridgewater Canal near the Tramps grave at Moore the winner Roy Rogers needed only 0-0-8 to win the match. That is 0.5 of an ounce! Mike Worley and Jimmy Byrnes were joint second with one fish apiece for 0-0-4. None of the other anglers had a bite.
Your catch reports are always more than welcome, please send to frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk or give me a ring on 01928 716238.
WAA Headquarters at 52, Parker Street are open as usual every Friday between 7 & 9pm for 2018 night permits/membership renewals, new members, subscriptions, and any queries.
