 Fished about 400yds from Saracen's Head. This was the only decent fish I got in the 2 1/2 hrs I was there. Weather was pretty cool ~15C with some torrential showers. Had plenty of bites on corn but bumped most of them off. |

Cracking Tinca Daz, i'm f**ked if i'm getting one out of the old roan, all i seem to get are perch roach and the odd skimmer.

They're certainly not feeding as well as they were...
Not fished the Old Roan stretch myself. Furthest I go (south) is usually the Ship Inn and that's only been this year due to the free fishing.
Just north of the Saracen's Head is the classic Leeds-Liverpool tench stretch in my opinion. Tench to over 6lb and carp to 25lb to be had.
Corn tight against the rushes will usually bag at least a couple. Probably more if you know what you're doing - unlike me!

Nice one Daz :(I love that little stretch :(I use to spend a lot of time carping,pike-ing,and tench and bream fishing there :(All I ever use was bread and corns :(The big carps feed at the first day light most of the time there,bread was DE bait for them :(but never had any 20's,the biggest I ever had was about 17-18lb.That's belongs to Wigan water. Were you fishing around here??The best stretch    |
