An Anglers Ghost Story - The Watcher in the Woods
Those recent reports of big Warwickshire Avon roach had me salivating at the prospect of catching one myself. Now, just because a couple have been caught doesn't mean it was certain that I would manage one first time out, in fact I think it will be a task to get one before March as they aren't going to be any less common just because of a few fish on the bank. However, just knowing they are around is enough of a spur especially as before these reports I was labouring under the impression that the river simply didn't have it in it to provide them. Now that it is certain that it surely does, the job is made a whole lot easier as there's bound to be more around of that class than just the two we know about.

Bob Nudd goes Punch fishing for Roach
Red apparel and white hat is great camouflage as fish can't see red, so Dick Walker once said, and a white hat blends with the sky. All true, but people can see it a mile off and I ain't going out dressed like a fireman for nothing!
Off to the river today for spot of the same, let's hope I can put one or two nice fish on the bank myself...
Overnight frost, scattered wintry showers forecast for later, brrrr...
Good luck with your weekend's fishing adventures all, whatever your fish of choice might be.
And cheers Ivan.

On Roach - Warwickshire Avon Über Roach
One day it had to happen, and that day has finally come around. Forget the Bristol and the Hampshire, the Avon of the moment is the Warwickshire one. 80 miles of wandering, willful water has finally matured into a bona fide big roach fishery with the stunning captures of two two-pound fish in as many weeks.
