Ian Fisher caught 16.10.0 of chub and skimmers to win North Oxford AS’s summer canal series match, fished by 16 anglers on the Oxford Canal at King’s Bridge.

FOR this month only, Thames Water’s trout fishery at Farmoor will allow coarse anglers an opportunity to fish the fly with their course fishing gear.

Buzzers below a waggler or blobs on a ledger and quiver tip can be used.

Fishing will be ‘catch and kill’ only.

The aim is to help anglers understand how artificial flies really do work for trout and to enjoy some terrific sport in doing so.
