A Great Month For Roach

I went back to Willington on 8 March for a few hours of drop-shot fishing, but the water was very cloudy, and it had been cold the night before, so I didn't even get a nibble!

On 16 March I was at Springwood Fishery on a sunny Spring day, 9 degrees, and I had a relaxing day catching loads of Roach and Ide.

I blanked on the canal on 23 March, but on 29 March I took my nephew to Longford, where we had a great day catching Roach and Skimmers in the margins, and he managed a small Tench that gave him a good fight. We started on mixed maggots for hook bait and loose feed, but I took some bread, which we used on size 16 hooks and managed to catch a few Roach. I was pretty chuffed as I’ve never had much luck with bread.
