Roach on the fly

Took my kids to a pond near where I live,my 6yr old daughter and my 15 yr old son.First time for the lass but she struck and hit 21 roach in 2 hrs,even put her own maggots on.Now loves it of course.
Any way Jack has just taken up fly fishing so he thought it's a good idea to get some casting practise in and put a size 14 midge on,up they pop and on they go,just small roach but,taking fly off the top,and it was'nt just the midge.He changed fly several times and they all took fish ,so he enjoyed a good 2 hrs as well.
