Fabulous roach Rich! I’m intending to make my first visit as soon as we’re allowed to travel and after being inspired by this, I really can’t wait!!! Thank you. John Witney Oxfordshire
Just finished watching this mate. Great watch, great roach and great venue. You have brought back great memories and my introduction to big roach. Now its made me want to return. Keep it up pal 👍
Cracking fish and great tactics, definitely inspires me to try a different approach I other wise wouldn't of, very watchable guy, a big grayling episode be very nice to see 👌
Cracking video, always good to see different methods of catching fish, roach are such stunning creatures, strange how irrigation reservoirs always seem to be Cracking big fish waters too, never thought of using Pacific tuna type baits for roach, think I get stuck in the sweet, savoury, or traditional like bread etc, loved the video, stunning immaculate roach, good health and safe travels, cheers craig
Absolutely fantastic fish ,, would these tactics work on rivers ,, i fish river ribble n there are some big roach , just wondered if bolt heli type rigs would be good on rivers
I've found the Guru QM1 hooks to be really good for big roach and bream on the ledger when using braid hooklengths, fine wire but strong and once they go in they don't tend to come out
I know that Rich is a very good angler and I always enjoy seeing big roach, but isn't this really just scaled down carp fishing with boilies, bolt rigs, spodding etc ? Rich himself states that he's caught big carp on these rigs, so it's hardly specific. Personally, I'd much rather see Rich catch big roach on a river using more traditional techniques. This is just my opinion. No need to have a go at me.
