The fresh flush of water going through has most likely kicked a lot of fish into doing another spawning. They were spawning a few weeks back so they are prolly taking advantage of the low water and higher temp's.

Clive, you could look at getting some floats with interchangable sight tips. You can paint one black.....etc etc and have them in your pocket so you can swap them as and when you fancy. If you check out my vid on youtube I show some of the floats sold on here. I can vouch for the floats, they...

Nash scope rods are great. I have a 10footer in 2.25lb and its ideal for that and numerous other purposes. I have a pair of fox explorer TI 8ft to 10ft rods in 3lb test, lovely rods but i've still not used them.

Thanks Jim 👍. Yes, I agree Richard 👍. After saying that, I usually leave all the sight tip showing on the river, even on large floats like your ones. On flowing water there are other contributing factors which allow me to do that and still have very positive bite registration.

Thanks Gavin, apprecited bud 🙂👍.

Thanks for those nice words Alan, appreciated. I watched the vid back and to be honest, I know could have done a lot better. I missed out things about the better floats for fast choppy water etc, "which is the wire stemmed", and how they don't flatten out (lay flat on the surface) so easily as...

I made this short vid earlier showing the floats etc that I like to use whilst fishing for chub and barbel....

I don't know, "I think" when I bought some in a plastic bag from the local tackle shop they told me to give the magg's a breather for an hour or so every day. They may have told me to give them an hour or so of air every 48hrs I can't remember, that's why I posted to give them air every 24/48...

I think you have to give them some air every 24hrs, or maybe 48hrs using that method to preserve them?

I'd get an old fridge for them rather than freeze them. In my experience dead maggots aren't anything like as good a bait as live ones. As soon as the maggots on my hook stretch out I swap them for fresh ones and proceed to catch fish 😉👍.

Thanks Richard 🙂. Like yourself, I never watch the tv anymore, well, I watch youtube videos etc on the tv is all.

Thanks Ste, appreciate that bud 👍.

Here's a short video showing a few bearing reels..?

Thanks Alan, I will try and cover those things bud 👍.

Thanks Cliff, good on ya bud 🙂👍.
