Welcome to the forum. I live about 3 miles from the Cotswold farm park .
Not much day ticket on the doorstep but a few 10-20 miles away.

Salford trout lakes Nr Chipping Norton is ok. Two lakes both well stocked. Salford Trout Lakes - Fly Fishing in the Cotswold Areas

Blenhiem Palace is about 45 minute drive and worth the effort. Plenty of info on here about how it's fishing.

River Colne at Fairford-see this months Trout and Salmon mag page 52 for more info.

Donnington trout farm is close (2miles) and has a small lake but look before you pay it may be covered in weed by now. Hopeless if it is. Not open sunday or monday!

Witcome Waters Nr Gloucester has 3 lakes but check with the gadgy (fishery manager) how it's fishing, it can be cr£p this time of year but good in September.

I believe there is a concrete bowl somewhere near Oxford but I can't rem the name of it.

If you need any help, directions, send me a pm. Today-Salford would be my choice-take some mayflies.

Chris.

farmoor 2 is fishery near oxford think a bit rough up there due to windy day, you can get some good fishing and out of wind if you stand below roadway.
