Here is all this week's news, information and catch reports from Luton Angling Club.
Bait and Water Quality
We ask all anglers to carefully consider how much bait is being used, please don’t put too much bait in the water. If it isn’t eaten, it will go rotten on the bottom and takes vital oxygen out of the water, not to mention causing potentially harmful algal blooms due to an overload in nutrients. This could lead to venue closures and, worse case scenario a severe oxygen crash and fish mortality.

This could lead to venue closures and, worse case scenario a severe oxygen crash and fish mortality.
As temperatures have increased significantly, please remain vigilant when visiting our fisheries. With the added risks of Algal Blooms and localised thunderstorms following the hot weather, this can lead to some serious incidents, particularly dissolved oxygen crashes. Don’t forget, if you spot signs of dead or distressed fish then please call the EA incident hotline number immediately (0800 807060) as the area fisheries teams have a dedicated Fisheries Duty Officer (FDO) on standby 24/7 ready to attend any fisheries incidents.
River Season - Starts 16th June.
From Friday 16th June we can all start fishing all the River sections again. Our bailiffs and work party teams have been hard at work getting all our stretches tidy, clear and ready for the new season.

Wednesday Match Group Report and Results 7/6/23 - South Lagoon
12 anglers assembled at South Lagoon Wednesday morning for their weekly match. The drop in temperature overnight ensured the day began with a definite chill in the air and overcast. There was good colour in the water but with a north east breeze causing a ripple on the water, it was going to be a challenging day, and so it proved with low weights for many. The cloud broke cover around midday with the sun making a welcome return for the rest of the day.
Most opted for a feeder or waggler approach with the pegs facing the breeze being the most productive.
Jim Tookey on peg 16 spent time baiting up and then fished a window feeder with worm or dead maggot on the hook for a winning weight of 9lbs 2ozs of Bream and Roach. Second placed Steve Lathwell next door on peg 17 fished similar tactics using maggot or corn on the hook for a 7lbs 10ozs bag of Bream and Roach. Third placed Sean Leatherland on peg 11 fished a waggler float for 4lbs 9ozs of Bream and Roach taken on maggot over groundbait.
1. Jim Tookey 9lbs 2ozs
2. Steve Lathwell 7lbs 10ozs
3. Sean Leatherland 4lbs 9ozs
4. Barry Roper 3lbs 12ozs
5. Richard Darbon 2lbs 15ozs 8drms
6. Andy Norgate 2lbs 7ozs
7. Terry Vickers 1lbs 8ozs
8. Richard Gibbs 0lbs 9ozs
9. Malcolm Ogden 0lbs 4ozs 8drms
10th Roger Baker & Ray Burton 0lbs 3ozs
DNW Les Burton
