29th September, 2015 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes. 

I was talking to several members this past week who although no names no pack drill reckon the big lake at Sandiway has been producing carp to mid-thirties and specimen tench to just under double figures. The small lake is surprisingly quiet despite being usually the most productive. I would really appreciate more reports on these fisheries if only to assess growth rates.

Chris Hodgson and his nephew Adam Hutchinson fished the Ribble last week and started off their session fishing the waggler and maggots to enjoy non-stop action with small chub, a few dace, gudgeon, and roach some of which were up to 1-10-0.  Towards the end of their session they put out their barbel rods and Adam caught his first ever barbel at 7-8-0. Three further barbel to 8lbs plus a chub of 5lbs followed to cap off an enjoyable days sport despite the healthy walk to the pegs.

Veteran match angler Derek Bibby won our Saturday Mersey match with 8-0-0 of skimmers and roach taken on pole and loose-fed maggot tactics. Jimmy Byrne was runner-up with an all roach catch of 6-3-0 using the same method. Only three ounces separated second, third, and fourth.

Our Mersey Championship winner on Sunday was Alan Morris with 5-4-0 of roach and perch taken on stick-float and loose-fed maggots. Phil Hancock had a spot of luck on his first Mersey match of the season when his only bite that came with twenty minutes to go turned out to be a bream of 4-12-0 which was enough for second place.

Our Disabled & Over 60's match was fished on the Trent & Mersey Canal at School Road this week and saw a new name appear with winner Keith Dentith weighing in a mixed net of roach and skimmers for 5-11-0 just topping Jimmy Byrne by an ounce. Jimmy was also the runner-up in last week's event and put similar catch for 5-10-0. Pole and punch was the method on the day.

Please email me your catch reports to frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk or you can ring me on 01928 716238. Our headquarters at 52, Parker Street are open on Friday between 7 & 9pm for subscriptions, new memberships/night permits, and any queries.

22nd September, 2015 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes. 

On Sunday Tony Rough decided to change from his last week's successful Shocklach trip to our Worthenbury stretch and wasn't disappointed. He caught steadily all morning fishing the stick-float loose feeding maggots taking a succession of grayling and trout. A late change to the waggler fished against far bank willows resulted in a brace of chub around 2.5lbs in the last hour. It's sad the rivers are not fished more, and Tony reckons the fishing on the middle Dee especially for the grayling is outstanding, certainly worth a ten minute walk.

At long last Ade Green chalked up a win on our Saturday Mersey match with 14-10-0 of roach and perch taken on pole and loose-fed maggot tactics. Ray Boden was runner-up fishing the same method with 4-8-0. Weights were down generally on previous matches but that's the nature of our sport.

Our Sunday Mersey Series event was Ray Boden triumph for the second consecutive week with a catch of 7-14-0 of skimmers, roach, and perch taken on ground-bait feeder and maggot for 7-14-0. Derek Bibby fishing the same method missed out on the skimmers but nevertheless put together a nice net of roach and perch for 6-1-0.

Our Disabled & Over 60's match was fished on the Trent & Mersey Canal at School Road this week and saw a new name appear with winner Keith Dentith weighing in a mixed net of roach and skimmers for 5-11-0 just topping Jimmy Byrne by an ounce. Jimmy was also the runner-up in last week's event and put similar catch for 5-10-0. Pole and punch was the method on the day.

Alert for members fishing at our Sandiway Lakes fisheries as a set line made up as a 'death rig' was found by a member. This is your fishery and we all have a duty to protect it so please report anything suspicious immediately and if there are persons involved ring the police immediately. Also members please note that access to the small lake via the track behind the bungalows is very muddy and only suitable during dry weather.

Similarly our Dee bailiff has asked me to warn members that the track to Worthenbury is really rough and absolute care should be taken. It is down to you to evaluate any risk to your vehicle as this is a multi-usage farm track subject to flooding.
