A few Roach Books

Post by Mark »

I have been lacking a good roach book in my angling library so this week I treated myself to a few, they have all arrived and after quick flick through they do look rather nice books. That's some reading I have over the winter months.

The Complete Book of the Roach by Mark Everard
Chalk Stream Roach by John Searl
Big Roach by Mark Wintle
Big Roach 2 by Mark Wintle

You'll have many a troubled night when you start reading about big roach Mark. I dare say that come February you'll be stood by a river with hope in your heart ..... and cold fingers.

Enjoy your books :Hat:

Oh you’ve got some wonderful books there! Endless, endless images of monster roach (my favourite fish by a country mile!).

We’ll find you down at Wilton Bridge this winter I suspect Dave, after reading that lot?

I need a magnifying glass to read the above -- but an excellent and rare book.

Just looking at the cover illustrations invites you to delve deeper into them. :Thumb:

Here’s my winter read on roach inspired by this thread and picked up on the bay for a very reasonable price

Just looked at that - without my magnifying glass --- But picked it up again to read the adjoining book on the shelf -- "The Book of the Roach" by Grenville Fennel from 1884! Very small book - small print as well!

Sorry but must have mixed up the books in my previous post -- old age!
