Hi,
Farmoor reservoir, Oxford, Tues evening - cold, moderate wind, few
buzzers coming off but no action (some being taken on Boobies). Fishing


I was going through all the Oxfords I know here in the states and got as
far as Oxford, Mississippi (the only one I know) before realizing this
was Oxford across the pond; Inspector Morse's Oxford. I also remembered
I fished that reservoir in the early 90s with boobies and fast sinking
lines and had some fun despite an unrelenting headwind.

Lessons to be learned??


When fishing buzzers hold on as tight as when stripping muddlers?
Seriously, I am not sure what lessons there are. Fish feeding
in still water are always moving, they can accelerate
really fast and the buzzer may have caught its eye resulting
in an instinctive and aggressive take. It does seem unusal though.

Just my tuppence.
