Here is this week’s news, catch reports and information round up from Luton Angling Club.
This bank holiday weekend has been another fantastic one for the Luton Kingfishers. Leo fished the CRT Regional match on the Canal at Solihull and continued his winning streak taking first in the Cadet Category. Leo, despite some very heavy rain managed to fish for 3 hours and managed to weigh in a creditable 1Kilo 600grams consisting of some decent Perch and an Eel. His Mum sent us a picture of Leo’s trophies, they are stacking up now and he can’t wait to fish the CRT Celebration match in a few weeks.
Some of our other Juniors had a great day at How End on Saturday afternoon and despite the heavy rain all really enjoyed themselves catching plenty of fish. Alex is pictured with his Golden Tench and Daniel with one of many carp he caught.They also can’t wait to get to the CRT Celebration and represent Luton Angling Club soon.
Well done lads keep it up!

Wednesday Match Report 21st August Wyboston
This week for a bit of fun we held a ’Drawn Pairs’ match at the Wyboston complex with anglers drawing for a partner and deciding which of the pair would fish the river and which the Lagoon.
We had 16 attending including two of our Kingfisher Juniors, who were able to attend as it was school holiday and really enjoyed the day. The weather had a definite autumnal feel, with a colder night and a daytime temperature just about making 20C, with an overcast and at times strong wind which made it feel quite chilly,
The winning pair D were Adrian Smith and Ash Bunnage, While Ash fished the lake with a feeder coming second on the section with 9lb 14oz Adrian fished the river.
Adrian started on worm and maggot over groundbait with a flat float and caught a couple of perch and a Gudgeon at 6m. He then changed to fish his hemp and wheat line for the rest of the match catching roach at 8m ending 1st with 6lb 11oz.
Second Pair C were Colin Holmes and Dennis Hunt. Colin fished the Lagoon using a feeder at around 30 metres to take first in the section with 14lb 2oz. Dennis fished the river using his whip at around 6 Metres using single red maggot as bait. Dennis’ had 80 odd small fish including some bigger Dace which was nice to see, ending 3rd in section with 4lb 7oz.
Third pairing G were Richard Gibbs and one of our Junior anglers Daniel Carr. While Daniel fished the Lagoon, taking 1lb 5oz, Richard Gibbs fished the river. Richard started off on stick float two rod lengths out in 7ft of water and fed hemp with maggot hookbait. He only had 5 small roach and a few bleak in the first hour.
After two hours he went out on the pole at 11 metres with maggot hookbait over bed of groundbait and took roach and small chub straight away, but this line dried as well so he then went bleak bashing with a 5m whip and had over 60 in just over an hour.
In the last hour he fed more groundbait at 10 metres and started getting some better roach, including a few net fish and caught steadily until the end of the match despite some trouble from Mr Pike! Richard ended second on the river with 5lb 4oz.
Perhaps the unluckiest angler of the day was Daniel who hooked a decent Tench just as the whistle blew, unfortunately it proved to be foul hooked and rolled off the hook before it was landed. Well done Daniel and better luck next time.
Many thanks to all who helped with the admin and weigh in, without the generous help and support running our weekly Wednesday matches would be very difficult.

Last sunday staged the fifth round of the LAC Sunday Series on the River Ouse at Eaton Ford.
This is an excellent venue for the club, and Stewart, the head bailiff and his team, do an amazing job.
12 anglers attended the match on a warm and sunny day.
This week's winner was Liam Willis. Drawn on peg 16, Liam fished two lines at 6m and 13m. He balled in groundbait on both lines at the start and loose fed hemp. Swapping between maggot, worm, and caster hookbaits, Liam caught a mixed bag of fish, including a chub of about 1.5 lbs and a nice skimmer for a total weight of 7 lbs.
In second place was Dave Smith. Having drawn peg 11, Dave fished a stick float at 4m and 6m and fed using a bait dropper. His maggot hookbait accounted for over 80 fish for 3 lbs 5 ozs.
Third place went to Myles Tommey on peg 7. Myles weighed in 3 lbs 8 drms of small skimmer and roach caught on a pole line with maggot over groundbait before swapping to a shallow waggler rig for bleak and tiny chub.
Generally, the venue fished well for the conditions, and the weights outside the winner were close all round.
The next Sunday Series match is Sunday 22nd September on the River Ouse at Lavendon. Meet at the venue for the draw at 8.30am am. £1.00 peg fee and £5.00 optional pools, fish 10am till 3pm. The pegs are limited so please book early. Also, as the pegs are limited, please only book if you are certain you will attend.
For anyone thinking of joining the Series, there are 8 rounds with the best 5 results counting.
