Avon Roach
Yesterday 1300-1400hrs
Matron wanted to visit her sister so let the Fat One have a very short session on the Salisbury Town Stretch:
Just time for these two......not monsters but both just over the pound and good to see
Both came to waggler and punch bread. Could it be I'm getting the hang of this?
Time was of the essence and had to pack to ensure staying in the good books of the beast
Also the promise of a chicken roast dinner was too much for someone as fat as me.......
As ever,.......

Re: Avon Roach
Every Avon roach is a wonderful fish and two over a pound are marvellous. Well done.

Re: Avon Roach
Delicious, Moley (the roach and the roast ) I do hope you left a few roach unmolested for me to catch on my return (tomorrow). Well, maybe not fishing tomorrow, but we do fly back tomorrow.

Re: Avon Roach
Thanks Harry H.......two decent roach in under an hour of fishing with the roast chicken dinner very good as well; not a bad start to 2017Harry H wrote:Two nice roach and a roast chicken dinner your 2017 is off to a flyer
I worry about you Garry.....the chicken roast was delicious but roach? What have you been eating in America? We must get together with JAA and Dave soon, perhaps on Britford. because the town stretches are not easy to park at, as far as I can see.GarryProcter wrote:Delicious, Moley (the roach and the roast )
Also only certain swims are any good
Many thanks for the kind words everyone, I enjoy catching quality roach probably more than any other fish
As ever,......

Re: Avon Roach
Good one Mr Moley. Did you fish right in the City Centre? I look after one of the Salisbury NHS Clinics and it is right beside the river. Very shallow and clear it be. Never seen a fish in it yet? Not sure if it is the Avon or a trib..
