Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! I have tried hemp on my local river without any roach taking the hook bait. Very few people fish the river and no-one is using hemp.
This is often the case. Sometimes it pays to feed some hemp into a swim every time you visit and eventually the roach may switch onto it. There is one stretch of the Stour where I have tried hemp a load of times but yet to get them to take it. On another stretch it did work but only after about three hours. Keep trying.
My confidence and success with tares has grown over the years. Until a couple of years ago I didn't associate tares with teh Hants. avon but every roach I've had this season from the Avon has been on tares; the same applies on a stillwater I've fished for over 50 years.
Thanks for great video again mark

Mark, was there flow on the river or was it the downstream wind that gave the impression of flow as seen on the video?
There was very little actual flow: the downstream wind drift was three or four times faster than the current.
I've never known a water where roach don't accept tares. Just need to be patient and tease in the seed.
