Here is this week’s news, catch reports and information round up from Luton Angling Club for the week ending 14th July 2024.
Lavendon Mill
Bob Burdiak fished Lavendon upstream yesterday morning, he found the river with a good hint of colour, with slow flow unlike the opening morning on 16th June when it was rather clear.
With a north breeze behind him fishing before the bend, he set up with an Avon type stick float set tripping the bottom in 11’ of water. As he set up fish were topping which was a good sign.
A most enjoyable morning and peaceful as no one else was about. Picture below is an example of the stamp of the fish he caught - The 2nd picture of fish is his catch from 1the opening morning on the 16th June

The work party team were at Beckerings on Saturday and carried out some essential maintenance and repairs. It was a good turnout, the best attendance we have had for a few years with 18 volunteers. It was nice to see some new faces joining us. We want to say a massive thank you to those who came to help.
We sorted the erosion out at the back of some of the platforms, and as a result, a couple of the platforms have now been enlarged.
Some tree pollarding was also carried out and undergrowth trimmed back beside the platforms. There are still a few platforms that require attention, and we'll arrange another date soon.
Thanks to Dave Murdoch, Fergal O’Kane, Dave Nicholson, Roger Bland, Mark Sessions, Colin Holmes, Barry Stevenson, Rob Dunthorne, Alex Chrzaszcz, Vasile Ungureanu, Nebojsa Gal, Graham Else, David Willis, Nick Lynch, Damon Smith, Jason Lapworth, Dennis Vivian, Steve Emery and Andy Murphy - we hope we haven't missed anyone out!

Match report from Wednesday 10th July
This weeks Wednesday match saw the first foray on the river for 2024. The venue was the River Great Ouse at Eaton Ford.

Winner on the day was Keith Ward, who not only wins the prize for the longest drive but also weigh in 2lb 10ozs 8 drms from peg 9 to win the match. Keith fished groundbait feeder with red maggot or worm and then a maggot feeder for the last 2 hours of the match to catch a mixed bag.
Second was the in form Myles Tommey on Peg 5 who also caught most of his fish on the quivertip. Myles weighed 2lb 9pzs of Road, Rudd, Gudgeon, Dace, Perch and small skimmers.
Third on Peg 18 was Barry Roper who caught a mixed bag of mainly roach on the pole fishing maggot to weigh 2lb 0zs 4 drms.
Special mention should go to Tony Hickmott who caught a barbel of about 8ozs on maggot.
All agreed it was great to be able to fish on the river again and look forward to the next match.

Match Report Wednesday 3rd July Lakeside Cublington
On 3rd July the Wendesday group fished the bottom lake at Lakeside Farm Cublington.
The weather was very mixed in the previous few days, but Wednesday started cool but fine but as we started fishing the drizzle and the wind got up, making conditions for some at the top end of the lake with the wind blowing directly at them quite unpleasant.
Adrian Smith caught his bag on worm and double maggots fished over chopped worm, caster, maggot and pellet mix.
He took most fish on his pole at fish at 7m but the Ide in his catch was caught by the nearside tree.
Simon Foukes fished 2 lines, one down the edge to his left and the other at 13Mtrs straight in front. Both lines were fed with small pots of micro pellets and pinkies, with 90% of the fish coming to the line away to his left and took single pinkies. Simon’s catch consisted of 15 small perch and a good bream.
Sean Leatherland Caught all his fish on a pole at 10 Mtrs. Sean fished over a bed of groundbait and caster to take a Tench of 3lb, with the rest of his catch made up of small roach and Perch.
Several anglers hooked and lost bigger fish during the day, but unfortunately those don’t count!
