ROACH. 



The Roach is a handsome fish, and when 

 taken of the size of half a pound or a pound, 

 are not such bad eating as is said of them. 

 They are very bony, it is true, but particularly 

 wholesome. These fish do not thrive so well 

 in ponds where they are exceedingly numerous, 

 but in deep running rivers, with sandy and 

 gravelly bottoms. They excel in both flavour 

 and size. Let the place to angle for them be 

 about four or five feet deep, plumb the depth.
