Good catches just keep on coming despite the very hot conditions.
Firstly though a mention about rule breaking
RULE BREAKING - PLEASE READ
The Kempston Lake bailiffs have reported that they have had over 10 anglers in 2 weeks with no photo ID in their books. Your books ARE NOT valid without a photo ID. They are now sending anglers home and if caught again will be banned from the venue (Kempston Lake) and reported to the club which may result in a further club ban on all waters. A reminder also to members to read the Kempston Lake rules there are no guests allowed this includes anyone, wives, children, friends etc unless they are also members. Thanks from the Kempston Bailiffs.
If you cannot abide by the rules of Luton Angling Club on any of our waters please join another club as we do not need or want you as members.

COACHING
Only 7 made it to Fridays evening coaching session which was due in no small part to CRT Marketing failing to promote this event in advance! Sometimes sadly all the dots don't join together!
Two of the children were off a live on boat that travels our sections, really nice people who said they had tried fishing and didn’t want a go, changed their minds and joined in, and Anna was a complete natural, caught loads of fish and really enjoyed it, so much so she made them go to Marsworth the net day so she could have another go and claim their free CRT whips! One young lad caught a 2lb bream as his first ever fish!
So while the turnout may have been low the event itself was really good, the coaching team were able to concentrate on quality rather than quantity, and Dave Farmer who came to help, Mark, Richard Gibbs and Dennis Hunt really enjoyed it. They even got back to the cars before the downpour.
DEAD FISH & FISH SHOWING SIGNS OF DISTRESS
Due to the hot weather we can expect to see some fish fatalities as oxygen levels drop. We are already aware of a dozen or so skimmers and roach in the South Lagoon and a 13lb common in North House Lake turning up dead. Please let the club know if you witness any dead fish or those in distress, thank you.
