14th September 2021 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes
Nick Shenston and Dave Saunders managed to fix up a new Warrington Anglers Association private fishing sign on our stretch of the Vyrnwy at Llanymynech to hopefully deter illegal fishing. The report that there are plenty of small chub and grayling to be caught on both float and fly tactics.
Andy Corr who regularly shares his catch reports with members reports a cracking session on the Weaver Navigation where along with his mate they both had decent nets of silvers, perch, skimmers, including some big gudgeon. They fed dark groundbait with hemp and dead maggots at 5metres and fished maggot over the top.
Dave Edwards reports a catch of fifteen bream from Wide Hole on a groundbait feeder and double maggot including three perch, one he reckons was a good 1.5lbs. The bream were around the 2.5lb mark. We intend to improve the parking presently on the adjacent field which is owned by our club.
Terry Dunn was having a decent session on the Cock-fight length of the Bridgewater with around 9lbs of fish already in the net, but a strange think happened not once but twice as he was bringing in small roach something grabbed them but when the fish were pulled free there were no bite marks. Its quite likely these were taken by decent sized perch, possibly worth a go by the drop-shotters.
The Sunday Mersey Match Series was fished at the Victoria Park stretch of the river and saw Harry Billing take his second win on the venue on consecutive days. Harry had won the Northern River Masters qualifier on Saturday with an impressive weight of 19-11-0 and followed this the next day with 10-3-0 which was enough to take top spot. He fished the pole for roach and perch but when sport slowed swapped over to a size 22's and pinkie for the second half of the match. Jimmy Byrne took second place with around 5lbs of roach and perch on the pole plus a couple of skimmers taken when he briefly swapped over the a small groundbait feeder for a weight of 7-2-0. Twenty-one anglers fished.
Our Disabled & Over 60's Monday match was fished this week on the Bridgewater Canal at Acton Grange. In what turned out to be a low weight event Roy Rogers was the winner with 3-12-0 of roach and perch taken on pole and maggot. Jeff Stoll was the runner-up with a similar net for 3-3-0. Twelve anglers fished.
