30th March 2021 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes

Amber James aged five years accompanied by dad Martin enjoyed a short
session at Ackers Pit on Sunday. Where using a 5metre pole and fishing
a large bread-punch offering her patience was rewarded with a nice
sized bream. Well done Amber.

Sunday also saw two other young members, Marley and Leon Preston
accompanied by dad Mark enjoy a four-hour tench session at Grey Mist
Mere where the family had eleven bites between them and landed six
fish. These were the first tench ever caught by Marley and Leon all
caught on maggot feeder with red maggot on the hook; the session was
only cut short when they ran out of maggots. I'm certain that Marley
and Leon will always remember this their first tench catch.

Last week thanks to Apem Ltd a good mix of twenty-eight double figure
carp were stocked into Phoenix Park Lake along with 1700 mixed roach
and perch, the latter included quite a number over the pound mark and
a few around 2lbs. From there following a positive result on the
dissolved oxygen levels at our High Legh fishery the team stocked a
similar roach and perch mix of approximately 1500 fish at this venue.
This is still closed but hopefully it will be re-opened soon to
members again.

Simon Jones targeted the bream at The Mount on Saturday where he
managed to land six to around 4lbs fishing a groundbait feeder and
double maggot. He also had a netful of cracking roach to 1.5lbs. Ian
Rogers reports catching three carp, best a mirror of just over 17lbs
on homemade boilies.

On Friday committee member Mike Dench enjoyed some great roach sport
at Appleton Reservoir. He fished a groundbait feeder and red maggot
for a net of around 12lbs plus.

On Monday the first Disabled & Over 60's match since the second
Covid-19 lockdown took place on the Bridgewater Canal at Walton. Only
fourteen anglers attended but I am sure the numbers will go up as we
head towards summer. Ron Durr was the winner with 3-3-0 of roach and a
single skimmer taken on the pole alternating between bread and pinkie.
Match organiser Jimmy Byrne took second place with 3-1-0 using the
same tactics.

Our WAA Headquarters at 52, Parker Street, Warrington WA1 1LT remains

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.

Despite the small turnout for the working party at Sandiway Small lake
on Saturday some essential peg improvements were made. Thanks guys.
There will be more opportunities in the near future for anyone who
missed out on this occasion.
