13th April 2021 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes

Peter Lee fished Grey Mist Mere for the first time the weekend before
last where at 1.05am his snow man boilie rig presented over a PVA bag
full of various size pellets and crushed boilie fished tight to the
margin reed bed produced a run resulting in his first fish from the
venue in the shape of a 25-2-0 mirror carp. Thanks for sharing your
catch which I hope is the first of many.

It is not often that I get reports from the Macclesfield Canal but on
Sunday Ian Richards reports having an enjoyable afternoon roach
session at Scholar Lane. Having forgotten to pick up any maggots it
was down to the contents of the breadbin, liquidised bread and punch
as the only option. He wasn't expecting much but within ten minutes
using a small punch he was into his first roach. Ian ended up with a
couple of dozen roach.

This week Mike Pritchard was back for another Saturday visit to the
small but prolific Statham Pool where fishing a light waggler he
started his session on maggot and pinkie. He tried the last hour on
caster which resulted in a few 8oz roach. He caught thirty plus roach,
hybrids, and surprisingly a dace. Other anglers have reportedly also
enjoyed some fair sport with roach, but no bream.

This week our Disabled & Over 60's match was held on the Bridgewater
Canal at Delph Lane and saw match organiser Jimmy Byrne the winner
with a net of around seventy small roach and a few gudgeon for 4-1-0.
Pole, pinkie, and bread punch was the method of choice. Ray Bowden was
the runner-up using the same with 3-5-0. Eighteen anglers turned out.

There is a work-party improving/repairing pegs at Phoenix Park Lake on
both Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning this weekend. Members
should avoid using pegs opposite the island on the canal side of the
venue where the work will be taking place.

Members, please note that all bookings for night sessions must be
carried out strictly between 9am and 6pm by text only to the night
permit number. Any sent outside of these times will be ignored. Also,
anyone not tuning up after booking will face a month suspension from
night sessions as they are potentially depriving fellow members of the
opportunity to fish.
