Luton Angling Club Weekly News Report for the Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire & St Neots Cambridgeshire Area - Week Ending 18th December 2022

With the snow and ice this week we have received very few reports with most anglers staying at home in the warm.

Beckerings, North House and South Lagoon along with the canal have been mostly frozen over all week with only very small areas fishable if any at all. A member said that even the margins on the river at Biddenham were frozen late in the week. Hopefully with milder weather being forecast things will be back to normal soon.

Beckerings Reservoir
Water levels are slowly on the way up at Beckerings.

Wyboston River Ouse
The venue bailiffs report a few anglers braved the sub zero conditions and were catching plenty of silvers. The river at Wyboston holds specimen sized Chub, Perch and Pike and some quality roach so well worth a visit while our other waters are frozen.

South Lagoon
Dean Brittain spent 2 different days Piking on the lagoon recently in his quest for a 20lber.  He had a Pike of 13lb 1oz on his first visit and then on his second visit with the majority of the lake frozen over and snow on the ground he took advantage of the small area of the lake by the river inlet that was not frozen and had another smaller Pike. His quest for a 20 continues.

Wednesday Match Group
The Wednesday match was cancelled this week due to snow, a frozen solid canal and extremely cold conditions they had planned to visit Biddenham instead to do some more swim maintenance but this plan was also abandoned because it would have been dangerous to work with lying snow and Ice on the ground.
This week is the groups last match of the year which is their Christmas match, which is members only and is fully booked. Then the group have their January break, resuming the Wednesday outings in February.
