Mark. I think you may be right about the shooting stick. I didn't use a keepnet so could stand, or indeed sit at the waters edge. However, in a match you need to be in up to your knees if only to have the net in deep enough water. That's why I like the shooting stick / tripod combo - you could be on to a winner!
Regarding my roach. It's not as rare as you think down there. Check this out:Bigger Thames TideFest Championship in 2016 - The Angling Trust
