At Beckerings Reservoir James Muncaster managed a couple of doubles as did a few other un-named anglers. Bream are still being caught in the 6-7lb range mostly by carp anglers.
Little action this week on the Wyboston Complex with just a few small bream to the carp anglers.
Chris Barnet caught a jack pike from the South Lagoon and last weekend Mark Simmonds had a couple of jacks from North House Lake.
On the Grand Union Canal the wind and rain seem to have kept most anglers away but those that have ventured out have been rewarded with plenty of roach and perch with the most productive area being around the steep steps at Chelmscote and the Stoke Hammond Layby. The Ledburn Brook which runs into the Town South section has made the canal very coloured right through to the Globe which has kept weights on the low side.
Januarys competition winner will have the choice of 10kg of the new Starmer Baits Coconut Fish boilies or nearly £100 worth of Nash IC-1 and Nash Terminal Tackle. It is open to anyone (members and non members) submitting a digital photo taken on any Luton AC controlled water and it can be of absolutely anything eg a sunset on the canal, a nice fish, wildlife etc. The photos submitted cannot be over a month old, the judges decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into regarding the result. So get snapping and forward your pictures to our usual email address catchreports@lutonac.org or send from your mobile to 07704462635.
Dave Oxborough from St Neots sent a picture of a friendly Robin taken at North House Lake this week. Anglers should note that ULTRArace is back on the canal towpath for a second year over the weekend of 22nd & 23rd January 2011. The route is from Northampton to Tring and back again. Anglers would be wise to avoid the canal on those dates, for further information visit the UltraRace web site www.ultrarace.co.uk

The Luton AC Board have voted to allow keepnets to be used again on the canal during the months of April and May which is great news for the local match scene as well as pleasure anglers.
With immediate effect Luton AC members can no longer fish the River Great Ouse at Haversham as the land has been sold.
