20th April 2021 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes

Last week Craig Lynskey enjoyed his best session so far at Appleton
Reservoir. He fished in the trees now colloquially known as the swamp
on Tuesday night to land his new personal best mirror carp at weighing
17-10-0 followed by another mirror carp two hours later a couple of
pounds lighter at 15-2-0. Two cracking fish and a very happy member.

Ian Sangster fished a short feeder session on the reservoir on Monday
and reckoned that although he forgot his keepnet he had over
twenty-five roach with some around the 12ounce mark all taken on
double red maggot.

Statham Pool where sport has been pretty quiet so far this year has
now started to wake-up with our bailiff reporting decent roach catches
and the occasional bream. Lots off carp cruising on the surface near
the inflow.

Last week Andy Corr enjoyed a cracking roach session on the
Bridgewater Canal at Lymm despite a Suez Canal stye blockage when a
barge that had become adrift lodged itself bank to bank. Andy even
managed a small jack-pike. Anthony Rough also enjoyed his early
morning trip to the Bridgewater at Delph Lane on Sunday where along
with plenty of bites and a few nice roach he had a crazy heron to
contend with that took a good roach as he was netting it. As Anthony
commented, "That was a first for me."

This week our Disabled & Over 60's match was held on the Bridgewater
Canal at the rear of Daresbury Labs and saw Stuart Patterson the
winner when his roach catch was boosted by a 4lbs beam which took a
single pinkie boosting his overall weight to 4-11-0. Ray Boden helped
by a foul-hooked bream of a couple of pounds which when added to his
roach and gudgeon net gave him second place with 4-3-0. Twenty-one
anglers turned out.

I hate having to mention litter as anyone who leaves it, angler or
otherwise disgusts me. Our rule 28 clearly states:- Any member fishing
with litter in their immediate vicinity will be held responsible. All
litter must be taken home. This means that you do not stuff it inside
the nearest public bin. Members agree on joining Warrington Anglers
Association to abide by the rules so please read them as ignorance is
no excuse.

Please note that following a change of ownership we now do not have
the fishing rights anywhere above the A56 at Mickle Trafford which
includes the stretch at Plemstall Church.

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.

To renew membership from our Warrington Anglers Association website
simply use the numbers from both your postcode and membership number
as printed on your booklet address label which is your individual ID.
Please note you can only obtain a night permit at the same time as
your online renewal. Tackle shops advertised in your membership book
are now open for business.

Our WAA Headquarters at 52, Parker Street, Warrington WA1 1LT remains
closed on Friday evenings but 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

Warrington Anglers Association PO. Box 71, Warrington WA1 1LR where
