The Roach Factory - "THE LAKE" Episode 2

THE ROACH FACTORY - "THE LAKE" Episode 2
Episode two of " THE LAKE" follows Angling Direct's top specimen angler Phil Spinks as he sets out to target the Homersfield roach. Phil has had over fifty 3lb roach and a 4lb roach in the past from the lake.
We also continue the Symonds family story of their 60 year history with carp fisheries and carp farms, including interviews with both Martin and the late Norman Symonds.

Another great film, and lovely to see the clip of Norman at the end, such a massive influence in the carp fishing world. Can’t wait until the next instalment.

Cracking film, i really enjoy Phils' videos, always well presented and without doubt a top angler.

Fantastic roach Phil, dare I say the roach are bigger than the carp.

[@jethro2309]

Great film. Can I ask what rods you are using?

[@billsiviter9272]

Was the Scottish lake the one near Stranraer?

Nice informative video. When you switch to mini boilies do you stick to a maggot feeder or switch to something else.

[@philspinks4142]

Hi Barry, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I’ve been sticking with the maggot feeder while using mini boilies recently. I have used a groundbait feeder a lot in the past but sometimes groundbait attracts too many bream into the swim.

@@philspinks4142 What kind of boilies would you suggest for roach? Also, does it depend on the time of the year, meaning in terms of flavour. Grear video

[@philspinks4142]

@@mrsage4489 I’ve found small 10-12mm fishmeal boilies work best. CCMoore pacific tuna are currently my favourite. The roach will feed on them most of the year, although when it gets really cold I tend to use maggots more.
