Luton Angling Club Weekly News Report for the Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire & St Neots Cambridgeshire Area - Week Ending 22nd January 2023

There was no report last week due to a lack of reports coming in which is not unusual for this time of year. This report covers the period from 9th January.

This week's report will also be short and sweet with the recent wet weather meaning rivers have been in flood and this week the very cold weather has resulted in our Stillwater venues becoming frozen over.

The bailiffs have reported that despite having no ice at all on Saturday, Beckerings has now frozen over with only a few small areas around pegs 1-8 just about fishable to a couple of rod lengths. North House and South Lagoon are frozen solid.

Some good news is that the rivers have returned to their normal levels and have a nice steady flow.

Beckerings Reservoir
Water Level Update:- The reservoir is now almost full with less than 6 inches to go.There are a couple of afternoon and all day closures for shoots coming up before the end of January so please check the website events calendar to avoid a wasted journey. 

Neil Cox managed to get out for a day session on Saturday at Beckerings and a cracking winter Common, A repeat capture as he had the same fish in the summer. It was very welcome on a very chilly day - weight in the low double figures, but who cares a proper winter fish, Madbaits doing the job again.

River Ouse Biddenham
Fergal O'Kane fished on Sunday and had jack pike of about 5lb, and a couple of dropped runs.  He saw the unmistakeable blue and orange of a kingfisher darting about and had some friendly Robins trying to get into his bait box. He also saw another angler returning a chub which he estimated at 4lb plus.

South Lagoon Wyboston
