Luton Angling Club -The Grand Union Canal

Canal fishing from Pitstone to Stoke Hammond

NO NIGHT FISHING FOR NON-MEMBERS, NO KEEPNETS DURING APRIL AND MAY

Fishing on the Grand Union Canal has been available to Luton Angling Club Members and Day Ticket Anglers since 1922 and up until the 1960's constituted 95% of the clubs fishing. The club has just over 12 miles of continuous fishing along the Grand Union Canal. this part of the Grand Union canal is considered by many to be the best canal fishing in the country in fact it has appeared in many of the angling magazines and newspapers and has been featured on many DVD's and TV shows.

The average depth is about 1.25 metres in the boat channel although some stretches are deeper with the marginal shelves being considerably shallower.

During the summer months there is a relatively high level of leisure boat traffic which can disturb the water, however when the boat traffic quietens down many anglers enjoy the good stocks of Roach, Perch, Bream, Carp and Gudgeon, During 2007 Chub to 6lb and Rudd to 2lb 8oz have been caught on some sections

The milder spells of weather during the winter months can provide double figure bags of Roach, as well as good Bream and Perch, whilst The carp angler will find that the carp are active at any time of the season and Carp up to 42lb were caught in 2007!

The Clubs right to fish is exercised from the towpaths only and the offside bank where accessible legitimately by the public.
