On the arrival back into the UK after a cracking week away in Cyprus, I was greeted with the end of a very cold week at home. I had even missed some spring snow in Norwich, which I was very glad of. So, as I was planning to do the Sunday night and
It’s difficult to know where to start on with this blog, as I have been lucky enough to experience probably the best specimen roach fishing in the UK. I’ve dedicated so much time to chasing big roach during the winter months over the years. When
