Not 100% sure of the facts but just shows you that the Roach here definetly do have potential.<br /><br />SAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997330909934674747.post-87840209234262543932011-10-27T09:01:54.838+01:002011-10-27T09:01:54.838+01:00Cheers Paddy.

Most of the fish stocks are recovering but the roach (and perch) seemed to get hit the hardest.<br /><br />I was told there were two 2lb roach caught last year, both from the same spot and that's the spot I'm targeting. It's a shame I lost the two bigger fish on Tuesday, I'm pretty sure they would both have been over the pound mark... So fingers crossed for next time...Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282379823630036037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997330909934674747.post-79118251995859832082011-10-26T22:30:50.706+01:002011-10-26T22:30:50.706+01:00Thats a good fish Brian,
