Well, what a fantastic day on the bank! Today ( Saturday 15th July) was the day of our Regional CRT Celebration Match at Three Locks, for which many of our young anglers had spent a lot of time preparing.
After a dreadful weather forecast, which included thunder, heavy rain, and very high winds which we believe put some competitors off attending, (we had 20 anglers booked and only 13 came) we only had about 30 minutes of heavier rain early on, and the really strong winds failed to materialise. The Canal at Three Locks is quite sheltered, and for the most part the wind didn’t trouble the young competitors. Those who didn’t turn up missed a fantastic day.
We had 6 young cadets, 6 Juniors and a Youth fishing, all with differing levels of experience. For some,it was their first match, and others had competed before,we are pleased to say everyone caught.
Winner of the Cadets was Luton’s Leo Levesque with 4lb 9oz, closely followed by another Luton Cadet Dylan Carr, who was defending his title from last year, and weighed 3lb 7oz. Third was Faris Edwards with 1lb 6oz.
The Junior honours went to Maja Davidson of Tring Anglers with 5lb 8oz, with Luton’s Kaden Dixon second with 4lb 3oz. Third was Alfie Hawkes of Luton with 3lb 2oz. Special mention must be made of Luton’s Daniel Carr, who while finishing last in the Junior section hooked and lost two big fish during the match, one on his pole and the other on his tip rod, better luck next time Daniel!
We had John Ellis of CRT doing Facebook Live broadcasts which can be viewed on the CRT Angling Facebook page and Ian Orbell who organised last weeks benefit match, presented the Junior trophies.
Well done to all those who took part, especially those who framed, and thanks to everyone who supported us in running the event today.

Wednesday Match Report 12th March River Ouse Eaton Ford
10 anglers turned out at Eaton Ford on Wednesday to fish the first river match since the opening of the river season, and they found the venue to be in superb order, it was a fine day with the river looking in good condition if a little clear, but with reasonable flow. Bait thrown into the water could be seen sinking for about 4 feet before it disappeared. The water temperature was 20 degrees.

Bait thrown into the water could be seen sinking for about 4 feet before it disappeared. The water temperature was 20 degrees.
We had a very blustery downstream wind promising to be a problem, which increased in strength throughout the match making proper presentation difficult. Many anglers struggled to detect bites in the wind and many maggot skins were retrieved without anglers being aware of the cause!! Not surprisingly, most of us found quality fish hard to come by and many low weights were recorded.
Barry Roper managed to find some chub to record the winning weight, followed by Andy Frankum in second place and Steve Lathwell third. However, the weights were very disappointing this week due to the challenging conditions.
Results
1st Barry Roper 3lb 10 oz
2nd Andy Frankum 2lb 2oz
3rd Steve Lathwell 2lb 1 oz
4th Ashley Bunnage 1lb4oz
5th Tony Hickmott 1lb 2oz,

Lavendon Upstream Car Park
The club is pleased to announce the opening of our new car park for the Lavendon upstream section of River Ouse, A fantastic stretch of River that has in the past produced some excellent specimen fish but has been overlooked by many anglers due to lack of secure poor access and lack of parking. Our new car park is off road, fenced and behind locked gates no more struggling through the kissing gate with your tackle as a new 5ft pedestrian gate provides access from the car park to the field and then a short walk down to the River. Our thanks go to the landowner for kindly allowing us to use the land and the volunteers that helped us construct it.
