After the match on Wednesday at Ivinghoe (see match report below), Chris Howard decided to fish on, and was joined by his son and Grandson.
Chris reported that there was a huge rise of fish to flying ants, and as a result they bagged up on the Roach, Chris sent a photograph of his catch.

Alan Lidgley also caught one of 2lb 12oz he had it on the float with sweetcorn fished over hemp on 3lb line and a size 14 barbless hook.

Damon Smith just had the one carp on Friday night it weighed 18lb 6oz he had it on a skerkro whisky-liver boilie. He also had 4 or 5 large bream and lost a cat to a hook pull after a mammoth 25 minute scrap - he's gutted about it as he had geared up specifically for a cat and used a specific large bait to deter any other fish.

The latest C&RT “Lets Fish” run by Luton Angling club took place on Tuesday 8th August on the Luton controlled section of the Grand Union canal at Slapton near Leighton Buzzard it was a very busy and successful event with all the participants catching fish on the day.
The day started well and the children were catching straight away, mostly close in on short pole and whip tactics with pinkie as hook bait.
Small Gudgeon, Roach and Perch made up the majority of the catches with some small bream putting in an appearance and there were also a few better Roach of around six inches plus.
You can find out more about these free events which are hosted by many angling club's around the country via the canal and River Trust website.

Match report Wednesday 9th August GUC Ivinghoe
11 anglers turned out for this week's Wednesday match on the GUC at Ivinghoe. This included two of our junior anglers (Dylan and Daniel) who acquitted themselves very well on the day.
Thanks to Bart for arriving early and pegging the match length, weighing in at the end and for also providing the comedy moment of the day when he dived into the canal like olympian Tom Daley to rescue his pole section. Bart also turned into "Mystic Meg" pre-draw and predicted that pegs 12 and 11 would be good draws.
That turned out to be true.
Sean Leatherland drew peg 12 and made good work of the fancied end peg. After 40 minutes catching fish on the whip close in, a switch to long pole paid off, and he was soon into a run of decent bream fishing at 12.5m with caster. Following a run of boats, his line slowed, and he spent the rest of the match switching between whip and long pole to end with a match winning weight of 13lb 5ozs.
Simon Foulkes on the next peg fished similar long pole tactics using worm and caster and again had a lovely mixed next of some decent bream, roach and perch for his second placed weight of 12lb 6ozs.
At the other end of the match length, Tim Watts focused his attention on the smaller fish and kept fish coming all day to finish with over 140 fish for a superb 9lb 15ozs. Fishing pole and pinkie.
For the other anglers, it was a good day's fishing with a lot of small gudgeon and roach caught along the match length and odd decent perch making an appearance.
The canal itself was alive with small fry fish, shoals of which spent the day scattering from the abundance of perch chasing them.
Special mention to the two juniors in the match Dylan and Daniel who both fished very well for their catches. It was great to see these young anglers on the bank.
