Farmoor II Reservoir continues to fish well, with the more mobile anglers catching greater numbers of trout.

Plenty of fish are being caught from boats, mainly deeper down on boobies, although floating lines and nymphs are still taking limit bags.

A few anglers are starting to fish Farmoor, with some reasonable results. Rod average is hovering around the 2.5 mark, with fish mainly being taken on small white or black lures fished on a slow sinker.

There is an excellent article by Charles Jardine in December’s Flyfishing & Flytying magazine, focusing on indicator fishing as perfected by Farmoor stalwart Paul Troth.

Around 40 anglers have put their names down for Farmoor’s Xmas match on December 19, but places are still available. Details on 07747 640707.
