This is prompted from reading Phillip's last post on the HDYGO thread. Thought I better ask on a new thread. I have never found big roach in numbers and yet Phillip seems to have found a hot spot, on a river as well which must be more difficult. Any roach over a pound is big in my opinion but 2lb is the magic mark. I just wondered what attracts them to a particular section or why they exist in some rivers and not others and if anyone has any ideas. I would struggle to find one roach over a pound on any river I fish, the nearest I got was a small stream, 4-6ft across and very weedy in the summer, that did hold some shoals of 1lb+ fish which now and again I could get going but never anywhere else. That stream has been neglected now and virtually choked up and I have given up fishing it.
