THE ROACH ARE GETTING BIGGER

We are seeing many roach catches of 15-20lb plus and they are getting bigger, below is just one of our members catch reports

First session since my carp sessions in spring. Fancied a session targeting big roach. Looking at the wind I fancied fishing just off the back of the wind in the 40s fishing to a spot I had found in the winter/ spring. Had to break out the 13ft feeder and use 70g feeder to get distance accurately in the wind to the clipped up spot which I trickled in some bait the night before. Almost a bite a chuck from the off, most of which required the net, nothing really big but biggest a very respectable size of around 1lb 8oz , with the average stamp of the rest around 10oz to the 1lb mark. Few hybrids and skimmers thrown in the mix as well. Hands smelling like an Indian takeaway I called it a day
