Luton Angling Club Weekly News Report for the Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire & St Neots Cambridgeshire Area. Week Ending 12th July 2020

JUNE PHOTO PRIZE

The winner of the June photo competition was Rod Gladston with a picture of his Grandson Charlie who caught a Small Tench at North House Lake. The photo was chosen by the judges as it is not often we see small Tench but also the beaming smile on Charlie's face goes to show how pleased he was to catch it even though its not the monster carp he is used to catching! Rod says he is putting the £25 prize towards a 3 night fishing session for him and Charlie in Norfolk later this month. All catch photos from Luton AC waters sent in to us are automatically entered and are judged by the committee at the end of each month – As you see from June’s winner it’s not always the biggest fish that wins so send in any of your catch pictures to enter.

NORTH HOUSE LAKE

Bailiff Brian Turner fished on 6th July and had an amazing result catching the Common Carp known as Shadow at 34lb 9oz this is a new PB for Brian and needless to say he was absolutely buzzing as a result. This is the second time we have reported Shadow in as many weeks a very greedy fish at the moment.

Daniel Keefe also fished North House on Monday night and was the only angler booked on. This paid off as he reports catching a nice 26lb Common in the early hours of the morning

Do you remember the first carp you ever caught? Sam Cervano certainly will with a 22lb 6oz Common caught from North House Lake on Thursday morning.

BECKERINGS RESERVOIR

Becoming a familiar face on our weekly reports is young Charlie Albone this week with a stunning looking Mirror from Beckerings a couple of great photos of the fish were captured by Grandad Rod Gladston who also sent in a picture of Beckerings with an accompanying caption of "You don't have to be a fisherman to enjoy this view but it helps"

GRAND UNION CANAL

Tim Grover fished the Grand Union on Monday and had a 16lb 5oz Common Carp.

Wyboston River Ouse

Mariusz had a good sessipn on the River Ouse at Wyboston catching some nice Roach and 2 Zander.

Biddenham River Ouse

Peter Donnison enjoyed an entertaining afternoon session on the river at Biddenham with Rain, Rain and more Rain however it was worth braving the wet weather as a nice variety of fish were caught including Small chub, Roach, some nice Perch and a Small Pike.

Wednesday Knock Up Match Report.

No Formal match report this week as only two fished on the feeder at Eaton Ford on Wednesday, Roach and Chub were caught but the disappointingly the Bream, the intended target failed to show.
