16th March 2021 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes

Andrew Sangam enjoyed four daily sessions on Worthington Lakes fishing
at Adlington (No.3) before this smaller of the three fisheries closed
for three months on Sunday 14th March as this operates a close-season
opening again on 16th June. The total catch from his sessions was
eight carp and two bream taken on garlic grill pop-ups with the best
day resulting in five carp and the biggest a common weighing 18-11-0.

Jade Webb aka 'Ninja B' sent me some information regarding her brother
Jack's catch from Grey Mist Mere on Friday of a 25lb mirror carp. Jack
Webb had used essential cell wafter topped with fake corn and PVA
mesh. As the time he had available was short he completed the
baiting-up, hooking, and landing in the space of sixty minutes! Not
only that but the week previous Jack landed a carp from Ackers Pit
within the same time scale. The question is what would be the outcome
of a five-hour session?

Good news from Angling Trust is that from 29th March 2021 with the
easing of Government Covid-19 restrictions match fishing and night
fishing can resume. Night bookings can be taken from 9am to 6pm by
text only on 26th March. All updates and any restrictions will be
posted on the Warrington Anglers Association Facebook group page and
our website.

Our WAA Headquarters at 52, Parker Street, Warrington WA1 1LT remains
closed on Friday evenings until further notice. Members can simply
post to this address or put their book or request in an envelope with
their payment and a stamped addressed envelope, through our HQ door
where mail is collected and dealt with most days. Alternatively, you
can post to Warrington Anglers Association PO. Box 71, Warrington WA1
1LR where mail is collected weekly.

There is another working party for essential maintenance (tidying
pegs) at Sandiway Small Lake this Saturday 20th March 2021. Meet at
the lake at 9am when volunteers must book in with Matt Akery on
arrival in order that he is aware of those attending. The areas where
the work is taking place will be closed during the day from 9am to 3pm
to all who are not involved in the working party. This is for the
benefit of all members so I would ask that all members cooperate.
Please note reasonable travel is allowed by volunteers for such tasks
and the usual Covid-19 restrictions, social distancing, etc must be
observed.

Our volunteers have been working this week clearing overgrown and
self-seeded saplings from our Appleton Reservoir car park. The top has
been scraped down to base stone with crush & run limestone hopefully
being spread and rolled on Thursday. When this work has been completed
there should be room for at least sixteen vehicles, possibly more so
there will be zero tolerance to members parking anywhere but within
the car park which is annoying to local residents. Thanks to a member
on Tuesday who helped by moving his van numerous times, He didn't
catch but it was a glorious day to be fishing and as he said, better
than work!

You can still renew memberships along with your night permit online
