Roach

The current group record for roach is held by Keith Tailby with a 3lb 14oz specimen
from the Linch Hill Fishery, Oxfordshire in January 2004. Fishing over three days/evenings,
Keith landed just over 40 roach, all weighing more than 1lb 12oz. Eighteen of the fish were
heavier than 2lb and all were taken using double maggot and bolt-rigged swimfeeder tactics.
