Biddenham - River Ouse
Fergal O'Kane fished the River today (Sunday) and reported catching Roach, Dace and 2 Jack Pike.
Our new Friday Club will meet for the first time this week at Biddenham, Most of our "proper" work parties are held at weekends however the idea is to hold these Friday meet-ups once a month where members who are retired or free on a Friday can turn up for a chat, drink some tea and coffee, exchange ideas and fishing stories and advice, as well as get some light exercise doing few hours light work pruning vegetation and clearing swims to assist our water bailiffs. Any member that wishes to attend is more than welcome - Get in touch and we can add you to the Whats App group where the details of each meet-up will be shared.
Wednesday Match Group Report - 30th November 2022
Grand Union Canal - Town North
The sun was setting as the 15 who fished left the water in Leighton Buzzard after an interesting, but enjoyable days fishing.
After an overcast start the sun showed its face briefly around midday, but there was very little wind, almost dead calm all day, with the temperature hovering around 5c and a new cold weather system coming from the east. It felt warmer than the temperature indicated on the bank, the canal had good colour and was full, but the water was much colder. We only had one boat all day, just before we started at 10am. Conditions were not too bad for the last day of November, many of us have fished on worse days! The anglers found the fishing tricky, most bites being very finicky affairs some barely registering on the floats. The line at 5 Metres was the one that produced for most, using bead punch feeding liquidised bread, although odd fish were taken over.
Other baits although tried really failed to produce the expected bites. Catches were mostly roach with skimmers and a few bigger bream.
The weights were surprisingly good for and end of November match, well done Chris Bartlett Howard for the win with 11lb 10oz, which included a lovely Canal Roach at 1lb 3oz (weighed separately) from the end peg by Leighton Lock.
Second placed man was Bart Bonito with 8lb 13oz.
Third was Steve Lathwell with 8lb 9oz.
