River Ock

[muppetman0]

Hi all. This is my first post on this forum so please forgive me if it's in the wrong place!

 

I have recently moved from London to Oxfordshire and am after some advice/help. The only afforadle place to fish around here is Farmoor ii and so far I have had 3 fish (brand new stockies) from 4 visits. The river Ock runs past my back door (well it's about 150 yards away really) and this seems like much more fun! The house I live in is owned by the farmer whose land the river runs through. What I need to know is how I can find out if there are any restrictions on me fishing this river, or is it just a case of me getting permission from the farmer?

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

You will need permission from the owner, a rod licence, and you should check out the local fishing by-laws on the Environment Agency website. Good luck!

Thanks for all the advice FF2, I have had a word with the farmer and he is happy for me to fish!!! Just waiting for my new 7' #4 rod to arrive . I'll report back on any catches:D.
