Went fishing yesterday and caught 10/12 very good roach. Not 2lb or 1lb; just very good roach for the water. Above the average size which is usually 4in 5in fish. These were all 8-12 inches. Maybe one or two nudging the 1lb mark. When I started fishing thier were clouds in the sky and these good roach were feeding well. When the clouds cleared the roach stopped feeding. I was only fishing for 3 hours and the last half hour the clouds came back and the roach came on again. I have always believed that big roach only come out to play when the conditions really suit them and this is why they seem to "disappear" for weeks or months at a time.
The above was a good example- I know this is often what roach fishing does; they feed for a while and then go and come back but, was it the cloud cover that switched them on or off or was this just coincidence?
