Wednesday Match Report
Wednesday's match saw the group return to the canal. With recent match results being difficult on certain canal sections, the Wednesday group switched the match to The Globe.
Thanks again to the committee for accommodating the change of venue and to the The Globe pub for allowing the anglers to use the car park and for being the perfect local for them to have a pint at the end.
This week's winner was Sean Leatherland. Having drawn fancied Peg 1, Sean made no mistake. Starting at 3m and occasionally switching back to it, Sean caught around 50 small fish on squat over groundbait. Feeding a line at 11m with groundbait, caster and micropellets, Sean caught two large bream, some skimmers, nice roach and perch swapping between caster and red maggot to weigh in 11lb 14ozs 4drms.
Second was the inform Simon Foulker on Peg 12. Fishing 3 lines at 10m, 13m and 14.5m, Simon found all his mainly skimmers catch at 13m fishing pinkie over groundbait to weigh in 8lb 14ozs..
Syd Wilson showed his class taking 3rd place on Peg 10 with 7lbs 2ozs 12 drms. Fishing 2 lines at 11m and 13m with double dead red maggots before switching to small pieces of worm, Syd caught most of his mainly skimmer catch (including one around 1lb 8ozs) at 11m.
One of the biggest cheers of the day went to 4th placed Ray Burton on peg 18. Ray prefers to float fish with rod and reel and caught two decent bream 2/3rds the way over the canal feeding pinkie and fishing worm and maggot. He backed this up with some small fish close in to end the match with 6lb 7ozs 8 drms.

Luton Coaching activity update
Last Saturday Luton hosted the CRT Regional heat at Three Locks on the GUC. These matches are designed as a fun practice opportunity for those going to the CRT Celebration held in September.
We had 9 young anglers including two of our very new Cadet anglers, Alex and Anthony Fishing, Anthony who was fishing his first match thoroughly enjoyed the day and did extremely well.
The Canal fished very evenly along the match length; weights were not high but all who fished enjoyed the day. Our anglers did very well, Cody coming first in the Juniors with Jack second and Dylan third.
We would like to thank our friends at Spotted Fin in St Albans for their very generous donation of goodies for the prizes and CRT for supplying the trophies.
Results
Cadets
Anthony 2lb 2oz
Alex 1lb 14oz
Juniors
Cody 2lb 13oz
Jack 2lb 4oz
Dylan 1lb 11oz
This Saturday 20th we held a successful coaching session at South Lagoon where we introduced several of our Kingfishers to feeder fishing, a new method for many.
We demonstrated some setups they can use, gave some casting instruction and then practiced casting until they were all confident in casting a loaded feeder rig. By the end of the session most were able to cast well and could fill the feeder and position the rod correctly after tightening up, all spotted bites, and some even managed to bag some fish!
With the school summer holidays starting this week our coaches are going to be busy running two ‘Lets fish’ taster sessions a week, on Tuesdays around Leighton Buzzard, and on Thursdays around Berkhamsted. This is regarded as the first step and if there is further interest many enter our coaching program. Slots are selling fast (there is a small charge this year) but spaces are still available to book.
If you know anyone of whatever age who wants to give fishing a try why don’t you encourage them book on via CRT Eventbrite https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/things.../fishing/lets-fish and look for Local events run by Luton AC.
