Grand Union Canal - Three Locks
OVER 55s
After their summer holiday break, the Luton over 55 group that fish together on Wednesdays were back on the Canal at Three Locks two weeks ago, having resumed their weekly outing. Barry Roper had a nice catch of silvers with the odd perch for a winning weight of 6Lbs 12oz and a pleasing day’s fishing. The group fished at Slapton this Wednesday and again Barry had an excellent day with 5Lbs 12oz of Skimmers and Perch, beating Dennis Hunt into second with 3 lbs 12oz of Roach and Skimmers. 

River Ouse
Marek had a good session on the River Ouse catching 6 pike and a nice zander.



On a glorious October day, the Luton Over 55’s fished the river Ouse at Wyboston.  The river was slightly high with a decent flow but perfectly fishable with fish topping all along the river. Barry Roper had 6Lbs 12 oz of mainly roach on hemp and tares while Dennis Hunt came second with 6Lbs 2oz of mainly perch and dace on a maggot feeder. Nuala Gray was 3rd with 3Lbs 2oz of roach chub and dace. Dennis had a another huge perch follow a hooked fish to the bank which was clearly visible in the water...there’s always one that got away!  


Beckerings Reservoir
Neil Cox fished Beckerings and hit a new PB of 25lb 14oz with this cracker as well as another at 20lb during the night.

From member Steve Rodgers 'I was just starting to pack down early evening on 21st Sept, when I got a big backdrop on the bobbin. After a titanic 15 minute tussle, I managed to slip this 25lb lump into the net. It was the only bite of the day, so I was well chuffed. Thanks to the couple of lads overnighting on the East bank who helped me with the photos and encouragement during the fight'

Work Party News
The repair work on the worn out platforms at Beckerings has been completed.  Platform 15 has been completely redone. Platform 16 has had a couple of sleepers replaced and on platform 19, 5 decking boards have replaced the rotten boards.  All platforms are now in a usable order.  We’ve also removed the lilies and blasted out the duckweed to flow away from the swims at Biddenham.
