Here is all of the news, information and catch reports from Luton Angling Club for the week ending Sunday 10th December 2023.
Very few reports again this week. Due to recent and persistent rain, the River sections are all high and pushing through with the bailiffs reporting that the water up over the swims on the South Lagoon by the end of the week. River levels are falling, but with more rain forecast on Tuesday and the ground already very saturated there are EA Flood Alerts in place for the River Great Ouse.
No catch reports sent in by members this week however looking at the bailiff reports, Anglers are catching the Roach at Beckerings some of which were around the 1lb mark.
The five members of the Wednesday match group really struggled with no fish being caught during their match however they still took the time to provide a nice report on the days events as they always do.
Match Report 6th December 2023 South Lagoon
The Wednesday boys don’t seem to be having a lot of luck fishing our river sections this year, having had to use alternative venues on quite a few occasions. This week we were going to fish the River at Wyboston, but due to the recent heavy rain the river wasn’t fishable, so we transferred to our reserve Venue South Lagoon.
Many of us had left home after a severe overnight frost, scraping ice from our cars at -2C. By the time we arrived at South Lagoon the temperature had risen to a heady 0C and we were treated to a spectacular sunrise. The lake was free of ice, ripple free, and there was little wind, a nice clear day that was warm in the sunshine with the temperature continuing to rise until midday peaking at 4C, before falling rapidly again as the sun began to set. The five fishing were optimistic and tried a multitude of methods, Feeder, Waggler and Pole, using Pinkie, Maggot, Caster, Worm and more besides as bait, but all unfortunately to no avail, no bites being detected by anyone during the match.
Richard Darbon says he saw fish roll in his swim 15 mins after the whistle, but this may of course have been a flight of fancy.
As there were no fish to weigh, this was of the quickest weigh in ever, and we were on our way home again as the temperatures plummeted.
Better luck to everyone next week, we enjoyed the day, and it didn’t rain.
Hopefully we'll do better next time.
