North House Lake
Crispin Valentine had a nice little 17lb Common from North House Lake on Saturday evening. The algal bloom appeared again briefly this week following the spell of hot weather and we are monitoring the oxygen levels on a daily basis. The lake remains open at this time and we ask members to let us know immediately if they see any dead fish or signs of fish in distress and care should be taken by members to limit contact with the potentially toxic algal scum when it is present on the water.
Beckerings Reservoir
Paul Parkinson fished the Reservoir for the first time and he wasn't disappointed as he had a lovely Mirror carp at 17lb it was caught on iso cream with a pva stick of pellets.

Neil Cox also had a 48hr session at Beckerings and caught a 24lb Common an hour after setting up. Later in the session he moved to the opposite end of the reservoir and had a 16lb fish within 5 mins of casting tight to the margins he then had his third fish of the session weighing 15lb 8oz and then the fourth a mid-double Common with his alarms giving him an 02:20am wake up call. All the fish were caught on mad baits.
Grand Union Canal
Bailiff Andy Gladdish caught a lovely 15lb GUC fully scaled Mirror which is almost certainly another of the 3000 stockies that were introduced to the canal some years ago when they only a few inches long It was caught on 6lb line and 5lb hooklength on a 9.5m pole

Wyboston River Ouse
Queens Works fished a match on the River Ouse at Wyboston last weekend and had a great day despite the high temperatures. Double figure weights of Roach were reported. Various baits were used with the winner catching on maggot, feeding with a bait dropper to get through the bleak, while others used Hemp and Tares with Elderberry, a little used bait these days but deadly on the day.
Their comment was Wyboston is brilliant for Roach, we love it!
The best Fish taken was a Perch of 2lbs 8oz taken on maggot an hour before the end of the match.
Results
1st Stuart Kiteley
11lbs 14oz
2nd (tie) Dai and Phil Mann 10lbs 4oz
Wednesday Match Report
Dennis Hunt sent us in his usual weekly match report "The Wednesday match this week was held at Cooks Wharf. It was a hot and humid day, and to try and get some shade we went for a long walk along the towpath. Two new members joined us, Dave Britain and Steve Osman, so five fished, a bit light this week due to holidays.
We started well and all had fish in the first hour, but the fishing slowed as the temperature steadily rose, coming back a little in the last hour.
We had rumbling thunder all around us and when packing up we had a torrential downpour but being under the tree canopy we escaped a soaking.
We walked back to the cars and started to pack away, and the heavens opened again, and this time we all got wet!
Results
1st Nuala Grey
3lb 12oz
2nd Steve Osman
3lb10oz
3rd Dave Britain
1lb 13 oz

Let's Fish Events 2020
Luton AC's Angling Trust Coaches have been busy over the last few weeks delivering a series of Free "Covid - Safe" Let's Fish events at Three Locks Stoke Hammond and also some other local locations. These events enable young people and adults to try their hand at fishing.The coaches have also participated in a couple of special events for local scout groups so far they have had over 80 people attend and all caught fish despite the very hot weather and it looks like they have launched several angling careers with many attending wanting to follow on and take up the sport.
There are some further events planned so if you are interested there may still be a few places available have a look at the canal and river trust angling facebook page where bookings can be made. Please note that due to the health and safety requirements and guidelines relating to COVID-19 walk ups are not permitted and all attendees must pre book a place.
Tight Lines Until Next Week
