Luton Angling Club Weekly News Report for the Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire & St Neots Cambridgeshire Area - Week Ending 15th July 2018

Another good week for catches despite the high temperatures

NORTH HOUSE LAKE 

Paul & Braidan Tidmarsh had a great session catching 14 carp to 23lb with 2 lost and 3 tench. 

Adrian Jaworski managed 4 to 21lb 

and Robert Barry hall a couple of lovely dark fish. 

Slawek caught an eel over 2lb on lobworm just 5 minutes after casting out. The eels in both North House and the adjacent South Lagoon go over 6lb but there are very many much smaller to avoid to get to the larger ones

GRAND UNION CANAL

Good catches are being made mostly mornings and evenings around the Grove Church and Slapton areas. Filip Dunaj managed a double figure common stocked last year from Earlswood Reservoir 

and Garath Evans a mirror that tipped the scales at 19lb 6oz.

EATON FORD

Tom Gooderson had the perch feeding and managed a nice haul of decent sized fish.

BECKERINGS RESERVOIR

The better catches appear to be coming to surface baits and zigs but remember to take many kilos of dog biscuits to feed off the resident ducks! Top catch this week was 24 carp to 23lb off the top and another reporting 15 fish to over 20lb on the same tactics.

LINSLADE CANAL FESTIVAL

We have received a letter this week from Leighton Linslade Town Council about the upcoming canal festival 

'I am writing to inform Luton Angling Club that the Town Council will be holding its

annual canal festival on Saturday 28 July from 11.00am until 5.00pm

at Tiddenfoot Waterside Park, Linslade.  

Preparations for the event start several days in advance but as of Friday 28 July activity will intensify with set up of stalls, marquees, etc. Stewards will be on site from 7.00am on the Saturday morning to prepare for the day’s festivities and the area is expected to be cleared away by 7.00pm.I would be grateful if you could pass on this information to your members who fish regularly around Tiddenfoot and hope that preparations for the event and the day itself do not cause too much disruption'.

Obviously boat traffic will be very heavy in the run up and immediately after the event with some taking several weeks to leave our 12 mile controlled stretch.
