Here is this week’s news and catch reports from Luton Angling Club week ending 26th September 2021.
North House Lake
Kyle Thompson Parkinson hammered his dad Paul by catching this 15lb 7oz Carp on North House last Sunday he was using fake sweet corn and 3 fake maggots. This looks like another of the stockies (9) that weighed 5lb 4oz a couple of years ago. We don't recall this one being reported yet so Kyle has asked us to name it "Kyle's Linear"

Brad William Evan-Hart is helping his young son William get into Carp fishing on North House Lake and on their 3rd overnight trip he caught his first carp - a lovely Mirror followed by his second which was a Common.
They had the two fish in the morning and both were caught on Korda constructed stiff hinge rigs with 9 inch booms with a size 6 Klor hook with Dna baits S7 pop ups fished with a few handfuls of freebies. A very happy father and son team!
Dean Brittain tried North House for the carp and after seeing three nice carp in his swim thought it might happen but it didn't. But thats carp fishing for you. He did send one of his lures out and had had this pike which beats a blank anytime!
Beckerings Reservoir
Craig Mahoney did a couple of nights up at Beckerings and had 6 fish, here’s the best of them - 2 Mirrors at 25lb 4oz and 23lb 9oz and 2 Commons at 19lb 3oz and 16lb 10oz
Robbie Sweet had a superb pristine looking Mirror at 06:30 in the morning.
Lavendon River Ouse
Lavendon Bailiff Roger fished the upstream section Thursday morning he got there at 8:30am and there was good cloud cover and a nice breeze putting a chop on the water. He started fishing at 8:45am and by 10:00am these 5 fish were in the net, all on lobworm. The cloud then cleared, the sun shone bright and the fish stopped feeding. He got Bob the other bailiff to come over to take a photo of the largest bream which went 6lb 11oz. Had the cloud cover remained he is sure he would have had a good netful.
Biddenham River Ouse
On Sunday the Work party team were at Bidddenham raking some of the small lilies that were in front of some of the pegs in readiness for the John Morris memorial match next week (3/10/21). After the work was complete the barbecue was fired up and Burgers, Bacon, Sausages and Black Pudding was enjoyed by the volunteers. Thanks to Fergal O'Kane, Dennis Vivian, David Murdoch, Barry Stevenson, Roger Bland, Bob Burdiak and Des Saunders. Following the work party David, Fergal and Dennis stayed and fished the far end past the second bridge and had a number of Perch, Roach, Small chublets and Gudgeon.
Wednesday Match Group
With several of the regular Wednesday attendees still in Shropshire after the CRT Celebration weekend and others having prior engagements the 3 members that attended at Eaton Ford on Wednesday didn’t fish a match but instead opted for a day’s pleasure fishing on the river instead.
Weights were good with Steve Lathwell taking 9lb 4ozs of Roach and Perch, Colin Macbeth taking 5lb 4ozs and Ray Burton weighing in 1lb 8oz.
All report they had an excellent day out at a super venue.
This Wednesday they will fish Beckerings and this will be a members only match.
John Morris Memorial Match - Biddenham 3/10/21
On Sunday 3rd October we will be holding a match in memory of John Morris our former club secretary who passed away in early 2020. This is to be held at John's favourite Luton AC river section at Biddenham.
