Roach Fishing The Hampshire Avon

[@Feederfish74]

Lovely setting. Just a shame our stour in Suffolk is in decline for decent roach in numbers. Great video again. I will be after roach this weekend coming unfortunately on a still water.

Lovely video Ian, beautiful looking roach. The Hampshire Avon is a special river. Happy New Year and tight lines.

What time of year is this? Looks to be autumn

[@ipfishing1466]

Yes this was autumn time this year

[@cliveeariss880]

How often are you feeding, and whats the rod your useing, I like the action on the tip, very enjoyable.

[@ipfishing1466]

I usually put a couple of balls of liquidised bread in to start and just feed if they want it,so if the fish stop coming I will put another ball of bread in to kick it off again, as for the rod it’s the Drennan 15ft Matchpro ultralight such a great rod to hold all day long when far bank fishing.🎣🎣

Hello , Thanks for the update load. Very helpful. Iv got a week on the Avon from this Friday at Fordingbridge. Could you tell me what Reel your running please , cheers and HNY and tight lines

@@richardwalker6530 I was using the Ninja match LT3000-C, hope you catch a few Friday which stretch are you fishing the park?

[@richardwalker6530]

It’s next door to sandy ball got a cabin for a week. First time there, live on the Isle of Wight and are rivers have just dropped of a cliff at the moment. No silvers at all just wild carp which are okay but mess the swim up totally

[@ipfishing1466]

Is that riverside lodge?

[@richardwalker6530]

Ye that’s the one. Have you fished it

[@richardwalker6530]

Hopefully get some chub as well as decent roach

[@andrewwilson9617]

Why don't you use a keepnet so you can show your catch at the end of the session?.I know keepnets are banned on some waters.

[@ipfishing1466]

@@andrewwilson9617 I used to use them all the time but I had so many comments against them so I gave up

[@martinklein4651]

I haven't used a keepnet since the early eighties. There is probability that those Roach looked in such good condition because they haven't been put in a net.And seeing a net full of small fish, I don't get it.Surely fish welfare comes first.

[@ipfishing1466]

@@martinklein4651 Definitely welfare comes first for such lovely fish
