The roach fish is one of the UK's most common fish and a favorite for competitors to fill their buckets with. Its a fish that will eat pretty much anything with sweet corn and maggots being a top favorite. Its an active fish and found almost all year round. It can be found in cold and murky waters and even pollution doesn't seem to dwindle their populations. The record for catching roach in the UK stands at 4lb 3oz and was won in 1990. If you're looking to catch a good sized roach try fishing in reservoirs and gravel pits. The roach can be identified by their red eyes and large silver scales. Many people confuse roach with bream, chub, rudd and bleak. The reason for this is because the roach can mate with many other fish leading to hybrids.
Everyone has their favorite roach fishing tips, and its always good to change your tactics every once in awhile. When fishing for roach its always a good idea to feed the swim first. Feeding the swim will encourage the roach to not be so shy and will boost their confidence. This at least guarantees you will pick up a few more bites. If you notice that you are getting a number of bites but no catch try reduce the size of your hook. When choosing your fishing spots stay away from shadowed water. When you are ready to cast your rod out cast it out to be float fished about mid depth.
