Here is this week’s news and catch reports from Luton Angling Club week ending 19th September 2021. A slight slowdown in catch reports this week so please do keep sending in all your catch reports and pictures.
South Lagoon Wyboston
**ANOTHER CLUB RECORD** Following Ethan Griffiths beating the club record for carp last week this week but Wojciech has beaten the club record for Tench with a specimen weighing in at an impressive 8lb 10oz. That’s 2 records in the space of a few days and both from South Lagoon!
River Ouse - Eaton Ford
Dean Brittain fished with his partner Stacey at Eaton ford last week and had lots of dace a few chub, perch and even a pike on pop up boilies during the day and then these two bream at night on 12mm pineapple pop up boilies.
The National Celebration of Young People Fishing - Canal and River Trust
Young Hugo was one of the youngest competitors in the Cadet category at the celebration in Shropshire. Fishing for Luton at the age of just 7 and also fishing his first ever big match he came 33rd on Peg 9 weighing in 780 grams. He unfortunately lost a bigger bream that which had he had landed would have almost certainly got him a top 15 finish. He qualifies for a GUGGS (Grand Union Gobio Gobio Society) mug for the gudgeon and a perch bag and a number of other prizes. He put in a storming performance and is just made up about his achievement. We are proud to have had him represent us. We also hear he cannot wait until next year.

Match Report Grand Union Canal - Three Locks 15.9.2021
On a day that started a little overcast and developed into a truly beautiful autumn day, it was pleasing to see old friends and first timers among the 11 anglers that met at Three Locks.
It was especially nice to welcome Eddie Allen who came to join us for the first time in many years.
With little wind and pleasant temperatures with the canal having nice colour we hoped for a good day. The crab apples from the trees at the back of the towpath were falling off the trees making occasional loud splashes in the water as we walked to the pegs. It was pleasing to see a large quantity of this year’s fry in the Canal, but the constant scattering of the fry shoals showed they were being heavily attacked by the resident Perch.
There were several boats and locking movements as is expected in holiday season and some heavy towpath traffic at times during the day.
It turned out to be a day that started brightly for most while the overcast persisted, but the fishing seemed to slow later as the sun came out, and for some the bream were to prove elusive, although numbers of big Perch to nearly 2lbs were taken in the catches.
Most methods were tried, Pole Tip, and Waggler were fished, and most baits were tried, the most successful being pinkies and worm, although bread, caster and big maggot all took fish.
Chris Howard and Jim Tookey who had the end pegs took most Bream today, Perch coming out all along the length.
A lovely day in the autumn sunshine in great company.
