Anybody got any information on these waters

[fatallove]

Yep it's SHUT

 

 

All Warrington Waters have been shut from today until further notice.

[Guest crazyhazy]

What on earth for?

Just been kicked off Sandiway half way through a two nighter.

 

They have taken the decision to shut all Warrington waters immediately 'due to the high mortality of carp in the Cheshire area' That is what the official sign says they have pasted up everywhere.

 

They shut Grey mist last night and have decided as a precautionary measure to shut all warrington waters whilst the Environment Agency carry out an investigation.

 

Other clubs took the same step in the previous weeks so the rumours have it.

Thanks

I can understanding them shutting the waters where there are problems but what about the Rivers for example! How where you getting on at Sandiway?

According to the bailiff it's ALL Warrington Waters are now shut. It's started with a problem with the river weaver I'm lead to believe. This is controlled by a number of clubs.

 

Had a couple of knocks through the night but nobody had any takes at all. Which, again according to the bailiff was unusual as there was no signs of any bream. I saw one carp top about 2am and Les saw one around 3am.

 

I only had two perch around the pound mark and a tench around the 3-4lb mark which pinged off the hook with a late surge.

All I can say is well done!! Did your fella have anything? What method did you use to catch the Perch?

Les and Andrew had one knock each and nothing on float, ledger, feeders.

 

I was building up a nice bed of hemp and pellets for the second night and was float fishing 4 maggots just above the weed to see if any silvers were around. Nothing showed at all until I placed it over the bed of hemp and pellets and then the two of them in quick succession. Following those two it dried up until this afternoon around 3pm when I had a tench over the same spot.

 

I've just checked Lymm's website and they shut mostly pools over the last few weeks.

Well you did better than me and my mate! On the closure subject, I think it would be a good idea for the commitee to take as much contact details as people will allow, so they can notify them on matters as serious as this. For example somebody could be heading off towards the Severn at this moment in time none the wiser. Dont you agree?

[fatallove]

That's where their website came in handy.

 

I'm just glad we got the opportunity of staying at least one night the kids were really looking forward to it.

 

One guy had only just arrived half hour before the bailiff asked him to leave.
