Wednesday Match Group Report
Match Report, Tuesday 22nd February 2022
Inter Club Mill Cotton Wellingborough
The Wednesday group fished on Tuesday this week in an inter club fixture against our friends in Wellingborough.
We had intended to fish the Nene at Ringstead, but due to recent heavy rain causing flooding we had to transfer onto the Wellingborough Snake Lake, Mill Cotton, a fabulous fishery. We decided to fish ‘Silvers and Crucians only meaning bigger carp didn’t count.
The day was one of four seasons in one day, starting with high blustery winds, later morphing into rain squalls and ending in nearly flat calm and sunshine. Due to members having Covid and isolating, others being on holiday etc we were only able to field a team of six which was extremely disappointing, as others had really wanted to attend.
Initially the high winds made fishing difficult holding tackle at times being extremely challenging.
Dudley Frankland decided to fish down the track, the anglers to his right were fishing over having said the track hasn’t been that good. Dudley fed chopped up dead reds which he cupped in, his hookbait varied consisting of dead reds, live red & white maggots & pinkies. He put in a great performance and caught skimmers, 2 bream, 1 nice crucian carp nice roach plus bits to weigh 9lb 10oz.
Bart Bonito started slowly and struggled for the first half of the match, then he changed tactics to fish tight to the far bank and stepped up the feed. After doing this he never looked back, eventually taking 64 fish to weigh 6lb 10oz for 3rd overall
Steve Lathwell Fished down the track all day caught small roach, good Rudd, small chub and a crucian all on pinkie, His bites picked up when he fed heavier, and he eventually finished with 3lb 10oz.
The rest of the team struggled and failed to contribute any significant weight to the result.
Despite coming overall first and 3rd and weighing 21lb 15oz overall we were well beaten by our hosts who’s top six anglers weighed 32lb 4oz overall.
Thanks again to our hosts for making us feel so welcome.

Wyboston
Dave M, Mark Brooks and Warren Griffiths spent a nice sunny Saturday morning in the sunshine dealing with the recent storm damaged and rotten trees around South Lagoon and along the River at Wyboston good progress was made but still more to do.
Eaton Ford
After working on the fallen trees at Wyboston on Saturday I popped up the road to Eaton Ford to have a look at the backwater to see how it was progressing as it was a bit of a muddy mess the last time I saw it as it had just been excavated. You'll see from the pictures its now starting to look amazing!The bailiffs have asked me to reming members that the ground in the car park can become boggy after very wet weather so please avoid parking inside the second gate if the ground is boggy.
Annual General Meeting
It's looking like we will finally be able to hold an AGM after COVID prevented us from holding one during 2020 and 2021 it will be held on 24th March 2022 at Stopsley Working Men's Club, 3 Putteridge Road, Luton LU2 8HG. Members are encouraged to attend.
That's all for this week,
Tight Lines
