Luton AC winter memberships are available from 1st November 2010 and allow you to fish through until 31st May 2011. Prices are Adult £35, Husband and Wife £55, Disabled/OAP £17.50 and Junior £10. These prices are fully inclusive of the joining fee so there is nothing further to pay.
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.
Woodlands Lake and Barretts Mere continue to fish well with the Mere producing a 7lb koi to Reg Blythe with several ghost and common carp coming out around 4lb, the odd golden tench is also making an appearance. On Woodlands carp to 5lb along with the odd tench are being caught plus roach to 10oz and bream to 3lb.
Thomas Pashley age 12 fished Beckerings Reservoir where he caught a lovely 23lb 10oz mirror.

Following on from the theft from the Woodlands container Luton AC are asking that anyone with any spare tools eg spades, shovels, hammers etc that they would like to donate to the club should contact me Steve Sharp on 07704462635 and I will pass your details on to the Fisheries Management Team to arrange collection. Anything would be gratefully received as most of the clubs vital equipment has been lost.
Please phone/text your catch reports from Luton AC waters to 07704462635 or email catchreports@lutonac.org and if you have pictures taken on your phone send picture messages to 07704462635. Remember to always use an unhooking mat when targetting specimen fish, keeping the fish as low to the ground as possible when taking photos.
