7^th September 2010 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian

The Dee again grabs the news as confirmed reports have reached me of another 11lbs barbel caught from one of our stretches. Simon Loyley of Tackle Locker had his first barbel experience ensnaring two of the creatures from our Almere Fishery where I understand lots of small fish around a pound are also showing. Roach and dace sport is also exceptional. Nick Donald took a fresh run salmon of 14lbs after five frustratingly threw the hook, several almost at the net.

A member asked me yesterday about rumours he had heard of  new fish for Grey Mist Mere to replace some of the ancient stock that are now sadly suffering age casualties. It would appear the rumour machinery is at full tilt so to set the record straight it's no secret that we have fish on order for the end of the year. They are the same strain as last year however any introduction is always subject to S30 permission being granted nearer the time.

Our Sunday Mersey Series saw Lennie Dutton put a mixed net of 12-0-0 on the scales to pip Ray Bowden by just 3ounces for a win. Ros Wrightman was third with 8-6-0.  Versatile or some say lucky Lennie followed this the next day at our weekly Disabled & Over 60's canal match at Hilltop by taking top honours with a roach and skimmer net of 5-1-7 taken on pole alternating caster and maggot. Third placed Billy Pickles showed his mastery of the rod by catching his 4-1-0 on waggler and pinkie.

Our website is now fully functional after its recent difficulties including the member's forum. The re-vamped site should make alterations/improvements much easier in the future.

This week we have banned a member for leaving litter after he showed complete disregard for our rules.  Litter is something that all decent anglers hate with a vengeance and we all have a collective responsibility to help stamp it out.

31st August 2010 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian

This morning a member rang from the river Dee at Caldecott Hall where the calm was shattered by a power boat ploughing through at speed with no regard for him or the wildlife along the river. The Dee is navigable as far a Shocklach however the upper areas of the river come under the auspices of Chester Council who were very quick to reply to the information passed on by the EA regarding the incident.

The upshot is that any member experiencing similar problems from inconsiderate boaters should note the type and style of boat i.e. outboard motor or inboard, colour and name of boat and any other identifying features and report to either Chester city council or me and I will pass the information on. 

Sandiway small lake has been fishing well with decent tench catches reported as well as several carp to 20lb. There has been some work carried out this past week to complete the high bank at the old ski-slope. Also a new access gate has erected on the lane at the start of the centre track which must be kept locked at all times.

Mark, Barry and Luke Chambers were enjoying a nice days fishing on Grey Mist until it was spoiled by a disturbing catch. Luke was practising his feeder fishing while Mark an experienced carp angler waited for a run after a couple of strange indications he decided to reel in and recast when it  became apparent that there was something attached to his line.

It turned out to be a large quantity of someone else's line with a 'death rig' end tackle to which a decent carp still attached. Fortunately Barry and Mark were able to hand line the fish in and were able to treat the damage to its mouth weigh it and nurse it in the margins until it recovered sufficiently and swam off after its ordeal.

On a much happier note water bailiff   Keith Hayes was very impressed by a young member Chris Moulton who fished next to him last Wednesday and witnessed the youngster hook and land  his first ever Grey Mist carp. When he went to assist him Chris's legs were shaking but he played the fish perfectly and more importantly, handled it with total care. The fish was one of the older fish and weighed 15 ½ lbs. He then went on to catch another fish of 14 lbs again one of the old ones. To cap it all he then came to our bailiffs swim and told him where he should be casting!!... Brilliant!

Chris well done there is a Korda fish care kit with your name on it waiting for you to pick up at HQ
