Here is this weeks News, Information and Catch Report round up from Luton Angling Club.
River Ouse
David Howell has been targeting the Carp in Luton stretches of the Ouse. He had success catching two carp, a common of 22lb 5oz and the other 18lb 8oz. We've not mentioned the exact stretch as a lot of work and effort goes into these catches. Most of our River Ouse sections hold large carp so well worth a go.

South Lagoon Wyboston
The swim refurbishment works around the lagoon are progressing well and what an improvement improvement with the quality of the swims. They are now much safer to access via new steps and more comfortable to fish from. Unfortunately though someone does not respect the club or other anglers and obviously does not appreciate the money spent and efforts made by the club as they felt it acceptable to leave a huge pile of rubbish for the bailiffs to clear away. The Wyboston lakes complex has excellent CCTV coverage so we hope to identify those responsible and they will no longer be welcome at the venue.

Wednesday Match Report - 17th August River Ouse Wyboston
Many regulars are still on holiday, and others had prior appointments, so our attendance was down to 12 this week. Wednesday’s forecast was storms and heavy rain, the temperature at 18 C and a heavy muggy atmosphere seemed to indicate it would indeed rain later. The river temperature was a steady 22C throughout the day and the water had a slight flow after the heavy rainstorms locally the day before, but nothing like what would normally be expected at this time of year.
As the anglers set up the wind picked up and we had a rain shower, which then passed over.
The wind picked up a few more times during the day, and at one point the overcast became very threatening, but thankfully no more rain materialised.
As usual numbers of methods Whip, Pole, Waggler and feeder were tried, and baits used were Maggot, Pinkie, Hemp, Tare etc. The most successful baits were Maggot and Pinkie. The fish seemed to want hemp fed but seemed reluctant to take the hemp and tare on the hook although some odd fish were caught on these baits when tried.
All the anglers enjoyed the day out and appreciated the fact that despite the damp forecast we didn’t get wet!
A big thank you to all those who helped as Stewards on the day both with the draw and weigh in.
