Luton Angling Club Weekly News Report for the Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire & St Neots Cambridgeshire Area - Week ending 5th September 2021

Here is this weeks news and catch reports from Luton Angling Club.

River Ouse 
Tomasz Pawlik caught a lovely 97cm long pike weighing in at 13lb 1oz while lure fishing on one of our River Great Ouse sections 
Eaton Ford 
Dean Brittain had a great day fishing the river at Eaton Ford with his 7 year old daughter Lilly. He said it was a lovely spot to fish and he will definitely be back there lots of big Dace , Perch and Roach and a Jack Pike on double red maggot. Lilly also lost a very big roach in the margins they also had a nice picnic and a thoroughly enjoyable day.

Beckerings Reservoir 
Carlo Borromeo had a great night on Beckerings arriving after work he got the Rods out quick sharp as the fish were clearly in front of him. He had a Cat at 33lb and is a fish known as “Freddy”.
He lost a fish at 5am and managed another one a couple of hours later, a 23.2lb Common.

Neil Cox caught a beautiful Mirror just under 16lb and another immaculate common at just over 24lb with madbaits doing the business.

Grand Union Canal and Wyboston River Ouse.
One of the club bailiffs sent us a report on some of his recent fishing trips on the Canal he has been fishing the waggler across in 2-3 feet of water.
 
It is such easy fishing and he says he is amazed that other people just dont seem to be doing it.

On the rivers he has been float fishing down the middle with a 4 gram float and loose feeding hemp and wheat.

So many fish to catch. But as with most venues it's a slow first hour, then 3 hours of catching then a slow 5th hour as you run out of fish or scare the others off.

He had 10lb 7oz at Wyboston last week they were all Roach taken on wheat"

Wednesday Match Report 1st September 2021
Wednesday, officially the first day of Autumn, dawned grey and slight murky, with drizzle in the air and a distinctly chilly early autumn feel, the air temperature struggling to make 14C.  The day remained grey with darkening sky and occasional sun, threatening rain at times, although warming slightly as the day wore on. 

Those at Braggenham Side thought this might be good breaming weather, so were looking forward to bagging up during their day on the cut. 

As was to be expected during holiday season there were a few boats through during the day, all generally sticking to the rules of slow and down the middle. The ten anglers present wished Steve Lathwell a ‘Happy Birthday’ and walked off to select swims with high hopes of a good day on the cards.

The day proved good for some, especially Steve who celebrated his birthday in style, the Bream rejecting his float fished worm which he had specially selected in favour of pinkies, and he managed to put a few in the net! 

Dudley Frankland had the opposite experience only getting bites on his tip rod to worm. 

Ray Burton was delighted taking his best bag to date fishing a waggler to weigh 8lb 3oz of bream and bits to frame and take some coin,  very well done to Ray, who only really started fishing earlier this year. Most anglers took decent weights with Dennis Hunt taking a decent Perch of 1lb 14oz on caster over.!

All present enjoyed the day with some decent nets of fish, and good banter among the anglers. 

Chris Howard got camera shy and hid behind the scales.
