Here is all this weeks news, catch reports and information from Luton Angling Club. Our 2021/22 membership for the year 1st June 2021 - 31st May 2022 was launched on Saturday 1st May and as expected sold out very quickly.
We are very sorry if you missed out but angling club membership has been in high demand during the pandemic as angling in some form has remained one of the permitted activities during the majority of the lockdowns.
Our membership team are processing the membership applications as quickly as possible but please allow a little extra time for your book and key to arrive.
Beckerings Reservoir
Neil Cox popped down to the reservoir for a few hours and he is glad he did. He managed another pB catching the stunning "Half Lin" at 36lb 3oz. He caught her tight in the margins on Madbaitz Nutz and at one point weeded him up but steady pressure got her out.

Dennis Hunt and Trevor Bunnage went to Beckerings on Saturday, a nice day with a chilly north wind. While Dennis caught a couple of fish "Golden Balls Bunnage" as Dennis refrerred to him as, did rather better. Trevor ended up with a Bream of 7lb 6oz, a Roach of 1lb 12oz and an Ide of 1lb 8oz. All taken on a Feeder quiver tipped at 30 Metres just over the second shelf.
Those big bream look stunning in the water at the moment as it's so clear.

After her mum contacted the club for some advice and tips, 9 year old Harriet tried her hand for the first time at fishing on the Grand Union Canal. Harriet is very pleased to report that she proudly caught two Perch in less than 40 minutes!
It looks like there’s a new recruit to Angling as a hobby!

Weds Match Report
Match Report Wednesday 28th April South Lagoon Wyboston
John Gray had a day of mixed fortune on a moody day at South Lagoon on Wednesday this week. We had arrived to find a light breeze with an air and water temperature of 12C, so he as did others set up a Pole with some opting to fish a feeder from the off.
During the morning, the wind rose considerably and backed so it was now blowing directly towards the anglers.
Several of us lost pole rigs and tangled feeders in the vegetation while the wind rose, and large waves appeared on the lake, making tackle control and bite recognition extremely difficult.
After not tempting a bite for the first hour John finally managed to contact some fish, when towards midday a sudden extraordinarily strong gust snapped his pole No 4 section in half, forcing a change to feeder tactics so he could continue.
John however was on a roll and continued to catch on the feeder, tempting a bream and skimmers on worm.
Nuala Gray lost what was believed to be a decent Tench when she was smashed on the Pole line, and others were frustrated struggling to see bites in the wind, which abated slightly during the afternoon.
At the end of a challenging day despite his troubles John weighed in 4lbs 8oz to win, and behind John weights were close for the remaining places.
1st John Gray
4lb 8oz
2nd Dudley Frankland
2lb 15oz
2lb 10oz
4th Naula Gray
2lbs 9oz
Next week The group will fish the canal Town South Leighton Buzzard, meet for 9 am draw, £5.00 optional pools non members welcome to join in by purchasing a day ticket.
That's all for this week
