Farmoor Reservoir info
Farmoor is a man-made reservoir split into two lakes. It covers a total of 400 acres and sits in the heart of the Oxfordshire countryside.
Farmoor Reservoir is split by a long causeway, creating two reservoirs to fish in. Lake one is the ‘catch and release’ lake most noted for its specimen-sized brown trout, though there are some very big rainbows present too.
Most fishing here is from the bank. There is one boat available, which requires advance booking. Lake two is the ‘take-out’ lake. Farmoor trout have a reputation as being among the tastiest in the country.
