My most recent of 2lb Roach caught in March at 2lb 2oz. |
As of the beginning of the 2014-15 I started the season of 21 Roach over the magical 2lb mark, 3 from lakes and the remaining 18 from rivers and my personal best of 2.15 was taken on the River Thames at Walton in 2004. One of my Autumn/Winter wishes will be to achieve one of my ultimate angling goals and land a 3lb Roach, for me it is the "Holy Grail" of angling.
ReplyDeleteYet another cracking haul, James keep it up. Tight Lines.
