I WOULD suspect Grey Mist Mere is still producing a carp or two judging by the numbers booking on for night sessions.

Likewise Moore Quarry, although not as many doing a night session. Don’t forget night permits will require renewal from the January 1, 2016.

We have been lucky during the floods this past week as our only still water fisheries to be affected are Cicily Mill and Statham Pool.

The latter is still unfishable as the whole area including Meadow View Fisheries and the golf course were inundated and with the threat of ‘Storm Frank’ it could get worse before it gets better.

United Utilities have been busy pumping to drop levels at Statham.

Needless to say the Mersey was unfishable on Sunday and our Sunday Mersey Series match was cancelled.

Next week, weather permitting, draw 10am Victoria Park.

No such problems on our Monday Disabled and Over 60s match on the Bridgewater Canal at Moore, where match organiser Jimmy Byrne fishing the pole and alternating between bread punch and worm weighed in 5-1-8.

He included a bonus 2.5lbs perch in his catch of small roach. George Barber was in second place using his favourite and well-practiced method of pole and bread punch for an all roach catch for 3-5-2.

A Happy New Year to everyone. Please note HQ is closed until Friday, January 8, 2016.

You can still email me details of any catches to frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk or you can ring me on 01928 716238.
