Roach

Howard. Fantastic catch.

Steve
I reckon a few of us BFW's should pop down to Britford (not where i went!) early November for a day or two.

Anyone interested send a pm and we will try to set up a midweek date.

Excellent catches guys - this is what we need - a bit of encouragement! I'll be out next week some time & have my eye on a few swims on a Thames trib - will report back! Would absolutely love a 1 and a 2 would be unthinkable, but have seen 1 big 1 there.
 
Congratulations Graham! Well deserved, but you must have wondered if it would ever happen. I'd fancy a return to Britford but after some expensive and mostly fruitless forages to the south of England, I think I'm going to concentrate on local waters for a while.
 
Nice one Graham proper fish.
 
Thanks again fellow anglers. It was a possibly never to be repeated days fishing that will remain in the brain cells forever, or until dementia sets in.:eek:

Well done on the roach. Dave and I will be in touch when conditions have improved [colder and coloured water] and you must join us for a trip or two [locally and distance]. Don't say 'a never to be repeated day' as I hope to improve it for you

Take care

Mike
 
Mike. For the pleasure of fishing with you and Dave I don't really care what we catch.


Let me know please.

It will be a wonderful experience.

Very enjoyable 2 days at Britford with some Pals.

Must had over 80 dace, including some crackers, quite a few smaller roach 4 - 8 oz but the river came good last 2 hours today with some cracking roach over the lb the best
1lb.9oz but looking bigger!!!!!

Another great day at Britford last thursday, liquidised bread with bread punch on the hook, a big 6 gram float,35 roach, 9 over 1lb , 2 pike,6 dace and a bream.Sadly an absolute monster roach snagged me and got off. Would have caught more if i did not keep returning them. A lad came back early saying he was knackered, he had caught 102 dace.What a silverfish fishery.
 
Oh to live in the Salisbury area instead of 90 miles away.It just shows what good quality water, a quality bailiff and good fishery policy does.
 
I love Britford !! It's by no means an easy water and the conditions need to be right (I've fished it when it's been HARD), but it is a fascinating place and really does have something for most anglers.................
