What do you think of this then? Caught today on a bona fide Leeds club match Halton Moor AC from our water on the Aire (gibralta island) Leeds. The fish weighed in at 3lb 6oz and if thats not a proper roach, then the fish that made it an hybrid was a long time ago. Scale count etc all look good, it even looks like a roach.

blue/silver in body i meant ;)if as you rightly say they are know has red fins why did you say its a roach when this fish as no red fins nor the red eye and mainly bronze/brown in colour maybe its a big dace with the lack of red on the fins and red eye ;D

It looks to have been stabbed and grabbed a few times as well. Harry B 10LB won the match he had a bream over six pound to go with the beast in the photo, the guy a couple of pegs above him lost a big bream at the net, the only other fish caught were trout from the top end of the length. Steve
