| Re: Golden Roach? Thats quite possible BollieBoy. The lake backs onto private gardens, i wonder. They must be breeding because these orange roach were only finger size. |

| Re: Golden Roach? I have seen golden Barbel from the Ribble and golden Tench in several places before but never Golden Roach. I would wager that they wont survive very long in the wild sadly as they will stand out easily to predators both above and below the water. __________________ My Web Site (The Average Coarse Angler) Happiness is Fish Shaped (It used to be woman shaped but the wifes getting on a bit now) |
