On Sun, 3 Dec 2006, Gene Kelly, gave forth these words of wisdom:
Now that our fishing season is winding down, maybe you want to start
thinking about releaving the winter blues by going fishing someplace warm.

No thanks mate,
I think I'll just have a day out with Andy at Farmoor! :-)

I used to fish Farmoor 2 in the winter - somtimes you could find a shoal
of rainbows close to the bank and cast to individual fish - (some were
5lb plus but I only caught the smaller ones) - moving around kept you
warm(er)

Cheers mate :-(
I'll have you know that we do catch in mid winter at Farmoor!
Mind you the best bit is probably the lunch sitting round a roaring fire
at the local Talbot Arms :-)
Whoever said that winter fishing was all about getting wet, cold and
miserable!

Wasn't it Alec Powell who retorted:

Yep! Thems don't know nuffin do they mate? ;o)

4 year's 'ish ago, we went to Farmoor few days after Christmas. Beautiful
sunny day although still snow and ice on the ground and all around the banks
of Farmoor 1. Yet we had a great time. We both caught some good sized
Rainbows and as I recall you had some good 'uns for the freezer ;o)

Mind you the best bit is probably the lunch sitting round a roaring fire
at the local Talbot Arms :-)


Yep again! Cumberland sausages, mash & gravy... lurvley!

I seem to remember a certain buxom barmaid leaning over the bar towards us
as well while writing the display board for the evening? She would've stayed
there as well if it hadn't have been for the flipping landlord noticing us
spilling our drinks from oggling, so he suggested to her she continued the
writing elsewhere!! Spoil sport... not very good for customer relations eh?
Mind you, not sure, but it might have been his daughter!!
