Here is all this week’s club news and catch reports from Luton Angling Club.
Storm Bella arrived this week bringing very strong winds and further heavy rain and with the already saturated ground and high water levels this resulted in the worst flooding I have ever seen at our river venues. According to the EA gauging stations the water levels rose well above the highest levels ever recorded which meant that most of our River Ouse venues were inaccessible – At Biddenham the water was way up the track meaning you could not even get to the main gate into the car park.
At Lavendon Mill Upstream the water was almost up to the layby and on the Downstream the weir itself almost under water.

At Eaton Ford the water was almost up to the first (Swing) entrance gate.

Similarly at Wyboston the water levels on the lagoon were over the banks and the track between North House and the river was completely under water on Sunday afternoon meaning access to North House Lake was also not possible during most of Sunday.

I flew my Drone over Wyboston, Eaton Ford and Biddenham and the video footage is available on our Youtube Channel https://youtu.be/SJViXkEXZ5U or search for Luton Angling Club on YouTube.
Thankfully the water levels are now slowly dropping – Members please be aware that the grass areas around South Lagoon and along the River and also in Biddenham Car Park will be very waterlogged and you should consider carefully where you park your vehicle to avoid getting stuck.

on Tuesday and before the Flooding Janusz Kansik had a great day beating his PB with a Pike of 22lb 7oz and measuring 109cm in length.

Later in the week despite the high and rising water levels a few anglers were predator fishing on the accessible areas of the lagoon. Filip Dunaj lost a possible low double figure Zander at the net and Wojciech Weremij caught a small Jack and lost a few pike.
North House Lake
Certain older sections of our otter fence which are due for imminent replacement suffered during the high winds and the integrity of the fence was compromised – Patching up was done quickly by the bailiff and then some additional repair work was carried out on Sunday during a short COVID Safe work party. Thanks go to David Murdoch, Paul Sweet, Wojciech Dunaj, Daniel Crook, Sam Kite and also Bailiff Brian Turner and the other work party volunteers that offered their assistance if any further work was required.
Following the repairs to the Otter Fence Wojciech Dunaj fished for Pike on North House and had a small pike which wasn’t weighed.
Beckerings Reservoir
Last weekend Neil Cox fished the reservoir and only had one fish during his session which was a nice looking Common at 22lb 12oz. This was his first (of hopefully many) cracking winter carp.
Finally Luton Angling Club wishes all its members and contacts a happy new year!
That’s it for now – Tight Lines until next week!
