Luton Angling Club Weekly News Report for the Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire & St Neots Cambridgeshire Area - Week Ending 20th January 2019

With parts of the Grand Union Canal iced over this week was always going to be tough for those that ventured out.

BECKERINGS RESERVOIR

Robert Barry Hall managed 2 carp to 18lb 2oz

with Aaron Kelly tempting 2 commons of 18lb 8oz and 18lb 10oz Sunday morning.

GRAND UNION CANAL

The canal is still fishing well with plenty of fish as always coming from Grove Marina with multiple carp catches along with the usual bream, perch, roach, chub and pike. The best pegs are those closest to the pub with catches dropping off the further away you fish.

GREAT OUSE LAVENDON

Big perch to 3lb are being caught below the weir on lobworms.

FISH THEFT

These photos and details have just been passed to us by our friends at MKAA, this camera shy guy was fishing the Stoke Hammond Layby on the Grand Union Canal on 24th December 2018. He was caught on this Luton AC section with fish in a bag by an eagle eyed MKAA bailiff. He drives a fairly distinctive 53 plate Audi which when photographed had a scooter sticker on the back window so if that's still on the car it will be easy to spot. If seen please report to the club whose water you are fishing as he could appear anywhere. Thanks to the bailiff & MKAA.
