A REMINDER that this Saturday and Sunday is the return of the exciting Northern Angling Show held at Event City in Manchester.

Twenty five hardy souls turned for our Disabled and Over 60s event, where sport, although not hectic, was far better than the previous frost-affected week.

Alan Brown had 3lbs 0ozs 0drs of roach and second-placed Ron Durr was not too far behind with 2-9-2.

Totally opposite from last week, it was an all roach event save for one solitary skimmer that bucked the trend.

The John Lavery Memorial Series that is run on an overall points system ended up a close-run thing between winner Lenny Dutton and Jimmy Byrne.

Weights improved on this week’s Mersey Series, which saw Ray Bowden win the event from end peg number 68.

Not that Ray needs an end peg to win, but it helps as he put a cracking net of roach and perch on the scales for 9-14-0.

Ray caught steadily, trotting through his swim fishing bolognese style with maggots.

Paul Harding stuck to his favourite feeder and tip tactics for second spot with a similar mix of fish for 7-1-12.

Don’t forget this coming Sunday is our members only Fur and Feather ticket only prize event.

Also members are reminded that all official WAA matches are advertised and they must move if asked by the organiser.

Keep sending your catch reports to 01928 716238 or frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk.

HQ 52, Parker Street is open as usual between 7pm and 9pm on Friday, for subscriptions, new memberships/night permits, or any queries.
