Nothing for the first 15 minutes, but once the roach got a whif of the hemp I had a steady stream of bites all afternoon long from roach between 6 and 12oz with most of them coming 6 inches off the deck.
Great fun, and I reckon that it will be a great roach venue in the summer months when the fish are up in the water.
Only a couple of others were fishing, (sensibly on the tip) and they were catching small mirror carp on pellets.
How big the roach go - I dont know, anyone know if this water holds a 2lber?

Had a few to just over 1lb early last year in a short session, only around 2 rod lengths out centre peg near bank where it gets deeper, I'm sure there must be bigger ones but bream start to plague the swim after a bit.
There's a nice range of fish in there but people go to bash out the small carp which is a shame.
With such pristine roach as those the size hardly matters at all.
what is the name of this fish. I know about ilish fish. I think it is that. If it is then I want to tell you some thing. It is very testy fish. only you get from river. It is the national fish of the Bangladesh. I have gone Bangladesh one time. There I have eat this type fish.
