River Roach 31-7-15

So me and Chris headed to the river and we fished below where we fished last time.With all the rain we had this week saw the levels rise then drop to a slightly higher level than last week.

Last week we mentioned while the river was low fishing a feeder rod with lighter gear would be great to catch other species.

My tactics were simple,barbel and chub and Chris decided to fish a single barbel rod and a feeder rod.Anyway my session saw four twitches, over to Chris....

Chris was fishing a small feeder with black ground sit and a few offerings of corn, it wasn't long before he was into a small roach and a chub , it was his next bite that provided the icing on the cake and his favourite fish, The Roach and what a cracker and a new PB.

1 lb 10 oz of absolutely stunning river roach, well done mate, after all the knocks he was getting he caught an eel in to darkness on pellet.Till The NextTime  Bloggers.
