Roach

[Dave Quinn]

Well done Mark, I remember talking to you in that swim a few years ago when you were trying to catch one of the big roach that were still in there. Good to see the cormorants haven’t had them all

I rejoined at the weekend as well, I had a lovely day on the long walk today.

What a wonderful post Mark. Thanks for taking the time to share and great angling!

Dawn start for a change today. It was lovely until the rain set in. Best roach was 1lb 4. There seem to be quite a lot around at the moment which is great.

Mark, that was lovely reading that, almost as if Keith was fishing it, God rest his soul.
Keith even had a 12ft chrystalight.

Out on the 12th with one of my sons, river looked fantastic. fished maggot feeder for a dozen small roach and a bream
Here’s to the next time

What fabulous roach fishing looking good for the next couple of years, one very special little bit of river.

 

[Simon Burt]

Another early start. Snapped off by something chunky first cast but made up for that with a pb an hour or so later. 1lb10oz. Creeping upwards.

I'm on the Roach Fishing closed group on FB. There are several well known roach anglers that contribute but, occasionally an image or two is posted up that I find disturbing and unacceptable. I feel that the admin have a responsibility to filter out such images as this one. What are your thoughts guys?

Those roach don't look like they enjoyed their time in the keepnets, that's for sure.

That's more roach than I catch in 5 seasons! Not keen on keepnets or tarmac.

Wow, what’s with the fish on the floor behind him?
