11 fish 🎣 to the net at Farmoor today, the wind was absolutely horrendous, made fishing very difficult, not a single fish on nymphs all on lures ( orange blobs & damsels ) , anything more than a single fly and it quickly became a birds nest. A challenging but still enjoyable day.

@@beardybrosflyfishing3736 I fished F2 at the top of the West Bank and around the corner on the causeway, FAB on the point with 2 crisp packet buzzers, had about 15 fish 🎣 mainly on the middle buzzer, BUT ! the action really kicked off when I moved away from the other anglers and walked round the corner onto the causeway, I swapped the FAB for a Red Fritz squirmy worm and 2 Buzzers, a bite every cast for 90 mins before I sadly had to go home, every fish on the squirmy, they were just running off with it, the wind was tricky on the causeway, flat calm on the West Bank.

@beardybrosflyfishing37367 ай бұрын
I’m glad they’re useful! Things should start picking up now off the bank and you should get a good couple of months. As it gets really cold the fish go deep and move out from the banks so better to get a boat - probably mid December to late March. As it warms up the fish will move back close to the banks. I think a boat is £20. Might see you on the bank sometime. I’m not far away from Winchester!

I’m probably up there on Sunday, had a really good day on the North Bank F1 Sunday gone, nothing for 4hrs, switched to a small lure casting up and down the drop off left and right and it went relatively crazy, I fished the dries for 90 mins in bright conditions with a bit of right to left chop and had a lot of hits but couldn’t make any stick, very frustrating. I’m an ex course match angler who’s only just switched codes so I’m on a steep learning curve, absolutely love the fly fishing.

Great to see some info on fishing Farmoor. There seems to be very little out there in regards to very early fishing (Jan/Feb). I'm hoping to try on the 2nd/3rd Feb from the bank. Any pointers or tips? Would F1 or F2 be best? I did manage one off the Bank (West side of F1) on 31st Jan but other than the 2 knocks and the fish i landed there was nothing happening. Admittedly it was quite fresh and cold with a bit of sun.
@beardybrosflyfishing37362 жыл бұрын
It’s tricky from the bank at this time of year - the fish go deep and it difficult to get out far enough and deep enough from the bank. I’d target the brownies on F1 from the east bank (by tower) or causeway - they seem to maintain position in the colder months rather than going deeper like the rainbows. Otherwise get a boat on F2 and get down deep with a booby - lots of fish happy to take a fly fished slow. Either way, its all about getting the depth right.
