I've got the chance to fish a stretch of a chalk stream that's reputed to hold some decent Roach. It's quite fast flowing water and there are lots of little sluices and weirs, and it's also rammed full of trout. The only slight problem is that I'm only allowed to use 'vegetable' baits - i.e. no maggots, worms, casters etc.. The obvious baits would be bread or sweetcorn, however in my experience both are exceptional baits for the trout as well... I've read about using hemp and tares for Roach but never done it myself. Any tips?
