Here is this weeks catch reports, news and information from Luton Angling Club.
New Junior Club Record for Roach
Many of our club records have definitely been beaten over the years however have not been officially claimed, Our Roach record has stood at 1lb 8oz since our 1968/69 membership year. Junior member Kenzie Lynch caught one at 1lb 10oz from Beckerings recently and submitted a record claim following the correct precess in his membership book (page 44). Following verification of the accuracy of the scales used to weigh the fish we are pleased to announce that Kenzie is a new Junior club record holder for a Roach.

On Sunday work started on a new members car park for Lavendon Mill Upstream. This will provide a large secure gated and fenced car park for the upstream section of the river it will provide easier access to the river via a 5ft pedestrian gate into the field, so no more struggling to get tackle through the kissing gate from the layby. We hope to open this car park for club members in the next few weeks, so watch this space. A couple more work parties will be needed to complete the fencing and lay grass reinforcement matting before we can open it. Thanks to all the volunteers that assisted us with the work
14 anglers from the Wednesday met in the car park at Lakeside this week on an overcast, warm, and very muggy morning.
We had arranged to fish the bottom lake which is approx four acres at this very picturesque fishery, with depths between four and seventeen feet. After drawing our pegs, we set off along the bank to find our swims and set up.
The venue had good colour, and on arrival we could see fish bubbling. The wind was fitful during the day, at times blowing quite strongly down the lake and at others falling away to a flat calm. The overcast got very dark several times, threatening a heavy storm, which fortunately didn’t materialise.
We were all hopeful of a good day on this fishery which is known to contain numbers of nice tench, but the change in weather conditions and a shift in the wind direction seemed to depress the weights on the day, the fishing being patchy and some of us unfortunately recording a DNW. However, we all very much enjoyed the day and agreed we will return on another occasion.
Top dog this week was Steve Lathwell, who opted to fish a tip rod, with most his fish coming at about 25 metres, He was fishing caster and feeding 6mm pellet over the top. When this line slowed, he switched to fishing a pole, at about 10 metres again using caster to end with a nice net of fish for 21lb 14oz.
Adrian Smith caught three bream and a couple of small roach on the pole at 10m fishing dead depth in about 9 to 10ft of water. The first two were on double maggot, a combination of red and bronze. His largest bream was taken on double caster. He was feeding groundbait and loose feed to keep fish interested. He then swapped lines and went under a near bank tree and caught a large roach and a lovely chub under the on double caster where he had been regularly feeding maggots, ending with 12lb 2oz for second place.
Third this week with 11lb 2oz was Andy Frankum who feed micro pellet at 15m with ground bait and corn to take 3 bream and some silvers on caster and pellets, weighing 11lb
Chris Howard changed to a pinkie rig at the end and had a very angry Tench it was the best Tench of the day and it led him a merry dance on light gear.
