Thumbs up Farmoor What a rise.

Fished Farmoor yesterday what a day I had. Turned up at 10:30 and left at 8pm. I took 6 fish troughout the day on daiwl bach's missed another 4 and the part of the day that I am a little annoyed with is I left flies in 4 fish. I was using some fluorocarbon instead of my normal leader. I got broke off at the droppers all the time. So if any of you have any tips of tying on droppers on that stuff please advise. And yes one fish did take the booby that I was using as an indicator. I left at 8pm and there was a spectacular rise going on lost two fish in that one took as I was answering a text message, the phone nearly got fired into the water. Who said that when it is flat calm you can't catch fish?
All the best guy's

Talking Areas fished.

The wind what there was of it was coming from the north but died out by about 2pm then bright sunshine. I fished halfway from the valve tower to the first carpark. I parked in the carpark 1 and walked back. I fished there the morning and early evening. Walking back to the car at 7:30 it seemed that the water was alive by the bend to the carpark. Clothesline style booby on the point 1 fish, middle dropper cheeked diawl bach 3 fish, top dropper plain diawl bach 2 fish. I think a red ribbed version may have worked on the rise but was all packed up and fished what I had on. Have a good time. The guy in the office is a great help listen to him and you won't go far wrong.
All the best,
