Luton Angling Club News Report 11th June 2017

A very busy week for Luton Angling Club

In preparation for the start of the river season on 16th June our team of volunteers where busy strimming the nettles at Lavendon on the River Great Ouse where some big chub were seen in the margins.

Sunday 11th June saw the South Lagoon on the Wyboston Complex was the latest venue for the clubs grant funded taster day on for beginners and novice anglers. The event was very well attended with families bringing children along to enjoy the fresh air, sunny conditions and a completely free event.

All of the club gate locks have now been changed including all river venues so only the new 2017/18 keys will work.

GRAND UNION CANAL

The canal is fishing a storm with the Grove Church to Grove Marina section being the most popular for good weights of roach & skimmers. Alex Buey landed a good size canal carp from an undisclosed section controlled by the club on Five Star Baits.

NORTH HOUSE LAKE

Steve Osborn has landed the much sought after Shadow Common at 33lb 8oz, this is Steves second capture of this fish.

Carlo Borromeo has been catching lots of good carp from North House in recent weeks on Mad Baits.

While visiting his brother in Ireland Luton AC Treasurer Fergal O'Kane has been fishing Sligo Bay where he caught large numbers of Pollock & Mackerel.
