Venues at Wyboston - Electricity Pylon works
If you intend on fishing any of the venues accessed through the Wyboston complex (South Lagoon, North House, River Ouse) please be aware that maintenance work on the electricity pylons that cross South Lagoon has now started and will be ongoing for some time. South Lagoon and the other venues remain open for fishing. There will be times when access to some areas and pegs on South Lagoon will be unavailable. Please follow any diversion routes, take note of, and follow any signage or instructions from the workforce on site. DO NOT OBSTRUCT THIS WORK OR CAUSE ANY ISSUES!
Fishing for Pike in hot weather.
WIth the hot weather this week a reminder to all anglers that targeting Pike is not recommended when water temperatures are high. Pike are very poor at oxygen recovery following extended levels of exertion i.e., from being caught on rod and line and when they are returned to oxygen poor water they can die. Pike are also quite fragile creatures and extended handling and time out of the water can make this situation much worse. Fishcare for all species should be an anglers number one priority at all times.

Wednesday Match Report - Grand Union Canal, Cooks Wharf
13 anglers turned up for Wednesday's match on the longest day of the year.
After the recent thunderstorms the weather was warm with a fresh cooling and welcome breeze. The canal looked to be a good colour and warm at 21 degrees, and thankfully free of the recently reported floating weed. There were a few fish topping here and there, and the presence of tiny fry in the margins was a welcome sight. Pegging was difficult because of the presence of many moored boats and there were long walks for many. It was a day when the usually favoured early pegs between the railway bridge and the swing bridge failed to produce with todays winner Sean Leatherland, taking 8lbs 5oz of small skimmer bream and perch at 11 metres on red maggot and caster over groundbait from a peg beyond the swing bridge. Second on the day was Simon Foulkes with a level 5lbs fishing similar tactics on a peg below the lock.
Full results:
1. Sean Leatherland 8 - 5 - 0
2. Simon Foulkes 5 - 0 - 0
3. Bart Bonito 3 - 15 - 0
4. Dave Abbott 3 - 2 - 0
5. Tony Hickmott 1 - 8 - 0
6. John Grey 1 - 5 - 0
7. Sid Wilson 1 - 3 - 0
8. Nuala Grey 1 - 1 - 0

Thanks to Les Burton and Andy Norgate for doing the very challenging pegging, and for weighing in.
Next week sees us fish the lower lake at Lakeside, Cublington which Chris Howard has kindly offered to peg. There are 25 pegs available and very few spare, so for anyone considering joining us please remember to message so we know you are coming before turning up. This enables us to better manage the pegging.
Meet at Lakeside ready for an 8.30am draw. £5 optional pools and £1 Wednesday peg fee.

If you would like to send us a catch report from a Luton AC Water you can send reports and pictures via our facebook page and other social media accounts, the club website or via what’s app message to 07940 229071. Don’t forget every picture we receive is automatically entered in to our monthly photo prize which is judged by the committee and you could win £25.00. It’s not always the biggest fish that wins so well worth sending in any of your catch reports.

Tight Lines Until Next Week!
