Roach is a common catch for an angler.
Rushy shores are excellent roach angling places. Quiet water areas are the best roach angling places in a river.
Roach bite agressively round the clock, but mornings and evenings are the best times.
You only need a primitive hook and some line as well as a rod for angling. You can find these from nearly on all cottages. You have a better chance of catching fish with competition angling tackles if fish aren't biting very well.Angling Roach
