Fine by me, just need to sort out what I will be taking.
Last 2 years a waggler and maggot/casters was all that was needed for some quality roach. No keepnet needed. The roach were not tackle shy.
If the water is up the top it will be deep close in. I would consider a pole but PC can advise better on that.
There are lots of carp for the match anglers in there. From what I have read its all method for them . Most FM ers seem to take the advantage of the quality roach.
There was a biblical wind and rain last year and float fishing was just about impossible. I caught roach on a light maggot feeder/picker rod .
