I’m meandering, so back to the fishing session where I caught roach on this occasion but no perch.
I stuck with my standard margin approach of a couple of maggots on a size 14 hook under a small waggler.
I have caught some decent fish, considering the venues of course, which is why I also go for 4lb line.
It doesn’t put the smaller ones off either, I catch plenty of those along the way.
There was also another small pike to contend with, which I dealt with in my usual way of touching it with the rod.
