Luton Angling Club Weekly News Report for the Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire & St Neots Cambridgeshire Area - Week Ending 26th June 2022

Here is a round up of all this week's news, information and catch reports from Luton Angling Club.

River Ouse Wyboston
Avid Roach hunter Nobby Clarke has been on the River at Wyboston a couple of times this week. On Monday he fished from 3.30pm until 8.30pm it was hard going and he needed to keep at it feeding constantly with 4 grains of hemp with a giant hemp on the hook , until gone 5pm he had only caught 1 roach but knew it would turn around so just had to work at it. He ended up with a nice bag of roach which included a few quality ones the best 1lb 2oz and a couple of around 14oz a very enjoyable 5 hours.

On Friday he was back this time fishing a swim he had never fished before and he fished rom late afternoon until 9pm, unfortunately this session didn’t quite live up to the past couple, he thinks we need some prolonged spells of rain to get the better quality Roach on the move however he can definitely see this new found spot producing a nice bag or two of lovely red fins and he'll definitely be back after some rain.

Edward Allen had a Beckerings Bream of 8lb 6oz and his son Dexter had a Bream of 7lb 8oz, they both were happy to increase their PB Bream by a couple of pounds even though they were almost "accidental" captures as they weren't specifically targeting the Bream. They were using halibut pellets over a small bed of partimix, pellet and a few boilies. Edward said they'll try some different methods next time round.

Bailiff Rob improved the latching system on the otter fence gate as it had started to play up. His improvements have resolved the issue - Thanks Rob!

Rod Gladston and Grandson Charlie spent another Friday night on the lake and this time it was Charlie who was successful. Fishing no more than two rod lengths out on a short rig with a cut down pop up and 6mm pop up to top off, his rod went screaming off around 7am Saturday morning

Wednesday Match Group Report
Wednesday 22nd June 2022 - River Ouse Wyboston
The group were all looking forward to our first River match of the season but with a few regulars on holiday or having prior appointments only 15 of the group met on the bank at Wyboston this week,
The morning temperature was 17C with the sun already shining in a nearly cloudless sky promising a very bright day.
The temperature climbed to 26C at midday and this week and umbrellas were pressed into service as sunshades!
The bailiff and work party team have done a great job and the swims were easily accessible, the river being quite clear, with some flow, and this year’s fry hatch showing clearly in the margins.
There were a few boats, only one charging up and down creating wash, the others offering little disturbance to those fishing.
All the usual methods were tried this week, those fishing long whips and Bolo rods seeming to have the greatest success. The larger fish didn’t seem to want to show in the hot bright conditions, so weights were not huge.
Ian Orbell showed his class fishing a whip at 6 Metres to take a fish every 90 seconds through the five hours ending with over 200 Bleak and small Roach to win with 7lb 7oz.
Richard Gibbs took second fishing a 20Ft Bolo rod using a 3 Gram float rig to take 4lb 8 oz.

Dennis Hunt using a long whip at 6 metres and a 1Gram float rig in a 12ft deep swim chose to feed small balls of heavy Groundbait and introduce maggot through a bait dropper, with loose Hemp over the top to take a bag containing no less than 9 different species of fish for 2lb 10oz and Third place.
Many thanks to all who helped organising the draw this week and helped weighing in we all enjoyed our first River trip of the year.
