Here is this week’s round up of catch reports and club news for Luton Angling Club for the week ending 25th October 2020.

Please help us out and let us know how you get on if you get do get out fishing. You can contact us via the facebook page or the website and don’t forget all pictures sent in are automatically entered in to our monthly photo competition and a £25.00 prize is awarded each month for the best photo (Winner chosen by the Luton AC board)
Beckerings Reservoir
The most notable catch this week was for Neil Cox who fished at Beckerings over the weekend. He lost one fish but then only 20 minutes later he beat his Personal Best with a Common weighing in at 30lb 5oz. He also had another Common of 18lb 2oz.
River Ouse and South Lagoon - Wyboston
Usually around this time of the year the attention at Wyboston turns to the predator fishing. The River and the South Lagoon offer fantastic predator fishing with Specimen size Pike, Perch and Zander present. On Tuesday this week regular Wojciech caught a nice 15lb 10oz Pike from South Lagoon. The River also holds some huge Chub and now is a good time to target them.
Grand Union Canal
Some sections of the canal are fishing very well at the moment on Thursday on section 8 one of the coaches was with a youngster who in 4 hours had over 28lb of Bream, Perch and Roach all on Maggot/Groundbait feeder. The bailiff says some areas of the canal are like an aquarium at the moment so it’s well worth giving it a go. Last week another angler had 8 nice Bream and about 150 other mixed fish.
Match Reports
Rive How End AC
Rive How End AC fished the Slapton stretch on the Grand Union Canal today (25/10/20).

Phil Stone had a bonus bream on the feeder to supplement a net of small roach and just pipped Ken Kendall for the runner up spot!

There is no match next week due to half term holidays, but the group intend to go to Wyboston the week after 4/11/20 with a 9am draw and non-members are welcome to join in as it is a Day ticket water.
Venue Maintenance
Maintenance on the track at Wyboston was carried out on Saturday morning to try and improve the condition of the track between North House and the River. A 6 tonne excavator was used to scrape the surface and has made a big improvement. Whilst still far from perfect a lot of the bad pot holes and bumps have been levelled out. Further work will be carried out in spring next year when the weather warms up. The plan is to use several tons of road scalpings and a roller to further fill holes and improve the overall condition of the track. The club thanks venue bailiff Brian Turner for providing and operating the machinery today and also Dave Murdoch for assisting as banksman and not forgetting Dave Farmer for providing the refreshments.
