Here is all this week’s news and catch reports from Luton Angling Club. If you want to send in any reports please send them in via the website or our various social media pages. All catch reports are entered in to the monthly photo competition where a winner is picked by the Luton AC committee. Send in pictures of any fish you catch as it’s not always the biggest fish that wins!
North House Lake
In October 2017 we stocked 21 C3 Mirror carp that were supplied by Priory Fishery we have been very impressed with the quality and the growth rate of these fish. Members may also recall that some time ago the club committed to stocking some new carp near to 30lb in to North House Lake as part of its ongoing re-stocking program. We contacted Priory Fishery to supply us with these fish last year and we are pleased to announce that on Wednesday this week the two C7 carp were delivered. One Common of 26lb 4oz and a Mirror of 27lb 10oz were introduced to the lake. Club Secretary John Morris who sadly passed away in January this year did a lot of the work involved with sourcing these fish and it is very sad that he was not able to be around to see them go in the water. As a tribute to John we have decided to name these two fish as “John’s Common” and “John’s Mirror”. Similar fish supplied by Priory Fishery have reached over 40lb so we look forward to monitoring their progress – If you catch either of them please take pictures and let us know the weight.
Beckerings Reservoir
Brett Collins had a Common Carp during an overnight session on Saturday Night.
Gareth Evans was also on the River after the predators and after a very slow day he went home happy after catching a nice 10lb Pike.

Dean Brittain popped to North House this week for a quick session after work and was over the moon when a 16lb Common was in the landing net within an hour of his arrival.
Grand Union Canal
13 year old Brandon was fishing on the canal this week and just as the light was fading and the session was nearly over he hooked one of the canals larger resident carp – After a good fight a 31lb 6oz Mirror was in the net – Great Angling and what a fantastic fish to add to your catch list at only 13 years old!
Dennis Hunt fished the Town North section on Wednesday as he thought it would be a good option and fish well after the heavy rain and it would also be less susceptible to the wind. He was right about one but not the other as a strong gusty wind was blowing down the canal making it quite unpleasant at times. The water was the colour of tea and there was a significant flow due to all the recent rain but despite this it fished quite well he had Bream, Perch and Roach using Punch, Squatt and Pinkies and in total had an estimated 7 or 8lb.

River Ouse
Despite the Rivers still being high and pushing through we have received a few reports this week. Jack Rose was back out after the Perch and managed a good sized Perch though disappointingly lost a few others that felt much bigger during the session.South Lagoon
Vehicles are getting stuck on the grass around the lagoon as it is extremely waterlogged – Please keep your vehicles off of the grass as the damage caused is costly to repair The complex owners are not very happy about the damage being caused and further action may be taken by them. Consider carefully where you drive and park your vehicle at our venues at this time of year as it is extremely easy to get stuck but not easy to get back out again without causing lots of damage.Bailiff Des Saunders accompanied by Alan Armstrong were at Biddenham again this week continuing their work to replace the damaged sections of barbed wire perimeter fencing – Our thanks go to them for doing this work as they have done a great job of it.
Tight Lines Until Next Week
