The Oxbow is a very special place. From the last weekend in April to the last weekend in October it’s a retreat from a hectic life. From the early hatches of Hennies, through June with Drakes and Hexes, into July and August swinging mice into the wee hours of the morning it’s a tough but rewarding water. But come September the rods are replaced by shotguns and bird dogs are welcome and rolling back into the club after a long day chasing grouse and woodcock in time for a shower before cocktail hour and dinner is about as good as it gets.
