Got the Roach bug...

Post by Graham R »

Since the onset of "winter" the lower river has been more than just a little out of sorts, this means my normal winter piking just hasn't happent this year, but Fortunately the upper river has good numbers of Roach and I'm a sucker for a little trotting with the pin:) I thought I'd share a couple of recent snaps(top fish was Tuesday), I'm hoping to up my PB before the season ends but happy being able to get out and catch fish, especially when they're this gorgeous :Thumb:

Absolutely splendid, Sir. :Hat:
