I'm wondering how instant pellets would be for Roach on a stretch of River that doesn't get fished much.

Not as instant as bread or maggots. ;)

Little tale that still amuses and pisses me off in equal measures.

A good mate and myself were at a local stretch of the Tees a few years ago, sat pretty close to each other. I was fishing liquidised bread in an open end feeder with a small pinch of flake on the hook hoping for a decent roach. My mate was fishing halibut pellets hoping for a barbel, I guess you can see where I'm going, he had a 2lb 14oz roach on a 14mm hali':mad: so pellets can be quite instant for roach;)
 
Nice trip today on a bit of the BA that I haven’t fished before. Lots of decent sized roach - probably more than I caught in the whole of last season. Unfortunately lost something that felt big but roachy and broke the 1/2oz tip on my bomb rod when the line got twiddled round it while unhooking a trout. I’ll be back for more when there’s some colour in the water.
