Luton Angling Club Weekly News Report for the Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire & St Neots Cambridgeshire Area Week Ending 6th December 2020

Here is all this week’s news and catch reports from Luton Angling Club.

 

Beckerings Reservoir

The largest (and greediest) known Pike in the reservoir known as Yellow Spot was caught again this week by Les Bolland and weighed 20lb 1oz. Despite being caught regularly the fish is in excellent condition. 

Jason Wilson was on Beckerings for 48hrs fishing for carp which didn’t show however he did have a good sized Bream which saved a blank.

South Lagoon and River Ouse Wyboston

After messaging us via the facebook page for some advice on where to go Pike Fishing – Paul Nash and his mate Rory fished South Lagoon and the River Ouse at Wyboston for the first time and both caught. First cast on the lagoon resulted in an 11lb Pike for Paul and then Rory’s last cast on the river produced a slightly smaller Pike at 10lb 8oz both were caught on dead baits and the pair said they will be back soon to spend some more time targeting the predators on the River.

 

Grand Union Canal

Jack Rose has been after the Perch on the cut and after the disappointment of losing a monster of a Perch he reckons was nudging 4lb during a previous session, he was back out again and this time managed to get a 2lb 15oz Perch in the landing net – his mate had one at 3lb 3oz but this was not photographed. Jack said he will be back after the one that got away soon.

 

Trevor Bunnage has also  has been having some good nets of fish from the canal using Bread Punch and Single Pinkie.

Lavendon River Ouse

Dennis Hunt and Trevor Bunnage were at Lavendon on Wednesday they had a good day with a roach a chuck at the start. The usual numbers of bigger roach failed to make an appearance and only a couple of better sized Roach were caught. These Roach along with a nice Perch of around 2lb and lots of small roach made up a final weight of around 5-6lb. Dennis hunt fished using his old Daiwa TDP whip and said the 2lb Perch went quite well on a flick tip!
