Roach Fishing

That's my boy. Ezra cutting his teeth with some roach fishing. Feeding the swim little and often, we tempted a shoal of roach and the odd rudd to our swim. A fish every cast from late afternoon until dusk was the order of the day. Single and double maggot never failed to produce fish. Light tackle and delicate shotting pattern produced fish on the drop as well as on the bottom. The water was very low due to lack of rain but the fish were still present. We lost count of how many fish we caught. We didn't want to finish but the light was fading fast. We decided on our last cast.. Ezra's last cast of the evening produced one of our best fish. The perfect days roach fishing and one we will never forget. Tight lines Comrades.
