Eagle & SunWell after yesterdays day out and the otter story i blanked ( you can see that on the match fishing page) not being too down trodden i was out again today only this time i went to a stretch iv had good results from in the past..Eagle and Sun br35..never lets you down...not what i expected though .. no skimmers no roach luckily the perch were willing to play ... i didnt have loads 15 in total for about 3 lb max..... at 10 oclock a load of cars turned up and a ladies paddle board team got out ..now heres a thing i didnt know they have to be inflated (im on about the boards not the ladies in my life) so that was a bit noisy with all the plug in compressors going.13 of them .. but it didnt affect me at all ,, in fact they were very nice and said they will walk down a bit as to not disturb my fishing ... it wasnt the nicest day although it didn't rain it was a bit foggy and the fog was very wet.. i was soaked through by midday.. when i left i went to bridge42,,, 2 blokes fishing had only perch... after that i want to bridge 43 ..4 blokes there had only perch also.

Re: Roach fishing - Staffs-Worcs CanalWell what can i say ..as Reg said we 4 rolled up with good intentions...me being a lazy sod i stopped at the first fishable peg and what a peg it was as it looked lovely.. a boat on the far side and even a hand made duck house perched in the far bank reed beds ,Perfect spot . i plumbed it up 3 lines top kit ..down the track and even 1 over next to the duck house.. to say i was optimistic was a understatement.. now 1 hour in i hadn't had a bite (nothing) not even a twitch.. It was as if the canal was dead , not a breath of wind not a ripple even all the surface leaves were stationary it really was like looking at a postcard... well trying not to be beaten i got my head down and cracked on.. still nothing.it got to the stage that i was lost ,, i ran out of ideas and didn't know what to do next...take a break have a walk to see how the chaps are doing... well while i was chatting to Reg and co 2 blokes 2 wives and 2 dogs appeared on the tow path behind my peg took their phones out and started filming the boat opposite..well there it was running the full length of the boat .. i want back and said what you filming ?? One bloke and his wife said the otter over there THEY live in that little wooden house in the reeds ... i only seen 1 but by all accounts 2 live in the duck house...

Re: Roach fishing - Staffs-Worcs CanalMick,,, casters will always bring you better roach if you can get them feeding on them.. as you say it seems that at late the tiny roach have been showing but has you know them tiny roach have been bred in the canal within the last 12 months,, meaning the parent (bigger) fish are still in there . now when you say stop fishing the pinkies and switch to casters, then YES its the thing to do to target bigger roach maybe less of them but defiantly better quality.. especially in the winter months.
