Coaching - Let's Fish

The Luton Club coaches were at a Let's Fish event on an away venue earlier this week. They ran it on the LAA (London Anglers Association) stretch of Canal at Bullbeggars lane in Berkhamsted it was a good day and enjoyed by all. One of the participants sent in a message having thoroughly enjoyed the experience."Thank you for a lovely morning we booked onto free let's fish today in Berkhamsted Bullbeggers Lane. My 6 year old Kaiya had so much fun so did I. We had a lovely guy teach us called Dennis and caught a few fish. I did say I would send pictures so here they are. Thanks again"

Wednesday Match Report 4th August 2021.

Nine Luton members met yesterday at Biddenham for our Wednesday match. It was a warm morning with a slight autumnal feel, but the temperature rose, and it became a very pleasant day. The river had good colour and flow and looked extremely inviting.
The anglers fishing used a variety of methods, Feeder, Long Whip, Pole, traditional rod and line and Bolo.

Richard Gibbs started slowly in peg 11 on a long whip and then switched to the Pole. After the switch he hooked one of the resident Biddenham Pike and at one time had over 30 Ft of No 7 Elastic out before being bitten off. Chris Howard fished peg 14 using an 18ft Bolo rod and a centrepin to take his bag of roach on Tare to beat Rich Gibbs by 4oz.

Dennis Hunt fished a pole in peg 12 with a 1 Gram float with an Olivette down, feeding hemp and fishing red maggot to win this week. Dennis also hooked a pike 5 Mins from the end of the match which eventually broke his hooklink, while Kevin Chadfield lost a large fish on worm which broke a 5lb hooklink on a feeder during the match.

The fishing while starting slowly picked up during the afternoon and the roach were generally getting bigger the longer the anglers fished.

All the anglers thoroughly enjoyed the day and would like to thank the Bailiff team for such a splendidly kept venue.
