The water itself is an artificially created and lined agricultural reservoir, free of predators and dominated by large Carp. The Roach are caught mostly by accident by those in pursuit of Carp.
I cannot for the life of me get enthused by the prospect of catching a fish from this water as to me its more like an experiment in growing large native species of silver fish than anything to do with being a natural water and as a consequence a natural Roach. Has the time come for the record books to be formally re-written around river and still water species as they seem to be heading that way with actual records almost losing their meaning? Does it matter?
