2015-16 Season has been brilliant, not even into the 2016 part and already achieved four Roach over the 2lb Barrier, here they are below in chronological order.
 |
| Number 28 and it was the 5th of the season that year. |
 |
| Number 27: Another stunning representation of a Roach, special fish, I'll never forget it either. |
 |
| Number 26: My largest of the season so far at 2.10, what a beautiful specimen. |
 |
| Just missing out on the magic 2lb but made the journey worth it in the poor weather. 1.14. |
 |
| Number 25: Slightly bigger at 2.05, a fantastic fight off this one in the clear water. |
 |
| Number 24: A lovely fish so early on at 2.03. |
These are a collection of my most recent of large Roach that have been caught whilst river fishing.

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.
