5th February 2019 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes
I know a few members have visited the new stretch on the Weaver navigation which runs from the swing bridge on the A56 at Frodsham (details are in my annual letter). A new lock which is clearly labelled has now been fitted which can be opened with our standard key. Committee member Mike Dench tried his hand for a couple of hours today but didn't even have a sniff of a bite, not surprising really as the water had been frozen until now. However, I am reliably informed that there have been reasonable catches of quality roach during warmer weather. It is what I would term 'wild fishing' where you go and make your own swim and accept the challenge. Time will tell.
I did mention last week that the new 2019 memberships had begun to be posted out, well, the last remnants are now in the post. On receipt the 2018 one is invalid and the new one must be paid before fishing any Association waters. If you haven't received yours by weekend please do not hesitate to give me a ring on the number below.
Our Sunday Mersey Series at Mersey Walk understandably with all the snow melt water saw low weights. Jimmy Byrne was the clear winner when he fished bread punch on a groundbait feeder set-up. He caught twenty roach for a weight of 3-4-14. Mike Dench and Roy Everson were joint runners-up with 0-9-11 where Mike had only a single roach whereas Roy managed four smaller roach.
Monday's Disabled & Over 60's Match on an iced over Bridgewater Canal was understandably cancelled. A disappointment I am sure to the regulars who week after week support this fixture. I would describe them in the nicest way as a cracking bunch who are always willing to welcome and help newcomers. So, if you fancy fishing matches in a friendly atmosphere where you will meet new friends and undoubtedly enjoy the banter join Warrington Anglers and give it a try.
Keep those catch reports coming, good, bad, or indifferent as they help follow members to gauge how waters are fishing and to plan their outings. And equally important they give me something to write about! Email 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. New members are welcome to call in and join, current ones can renew their subscription, or night permit.
