On the Grand Union canal there were hardly anyone out during the week but the fine weather had some out on Sunday with 12 day ticket anglers fishing between sections 8-15.
The carp boys were out in force at Grove and Slapton with carp up to low doubles being caught by day ticket angler Mr Phillips at Grove.
Elsewhere Mr Evans pole fishing under the railway bridge at Pitstone reported catching tench to 2lb. At the lay-by, members Mr Bird & Mr Quick were seen catching small fish on the pole.
On the 26th April Luton A C in conjunction with Team Beds & Luton and the Leighton Buzzard Observer are having a 'Give it a go' session on the canal to the right of Tesco's in Leighton Buzzard. Tuition starts from 10.00am. More details are available in a supplement within the Leighton Buzzard Observer on Tuesday 8th April. This is open to anyone interested in taking up fishing.
At the recent AGM it was passed unanimously that treble hooks or multiple hook rigs be banned from the canal, this was deter fish theft and takes immediate effect.
Also at the AGM it was passed that bait boats be banned from North House as the size of the lake did not warrant them, this again takes immediate effect.
