Catching fish on lakes, ponds or reservoirs is the ideal way to try out new fly patterns, fly tying materials and fishing tackle.
For years, Draycote has always flirted with me. Tempting me and others over the years to fish its hallowed waters, and why?

Check out the images below.. hopefully they will show the day without too many words! No doubt Fishstalker will be writing a post… keep an … Continue reading Farmoor… Again
