To be honest it's probably user error, I'm still getting used to trotting rivers , always ledgered before, but there's nothing quite like it when you get it right, and the float goes under.
Yeh, it's just much prefer a shorter float . I find I get a lot more tangles with larger stem floats, when using olivette's for some reason. I end up just fishing chubber floats most of the time.
They look great, Richard. What sort of depth are these mainly used for ? I fish the lower Itchen , a fast river but not very deep in places . What would happen if you was to shorten the wire stem on them ?
I fish the lower itchen, I always used red maggots, until last season, got speaking to someone fishing it and he was using corn. I haven't used maggots since, a lot cheaper too.
Had my first trip of the season on Sunday. Weather was awful but managed 12 Grayling, and a few out of season brownies. Good stamp of fish most of them over a 1lb.
I fish the lower itchen for grayling, and use the 15ft acolyte plus. It's not the grayling I have problems with it's the trout steaming off , doubling the rod over, I'm normally chasing the bloody things along the bank.
Hi Andy ,
Have you thought about making it a members only site ? I look at the viewing figures and it's normally 10 guests to 1 member on here. It's a fantastic forum, and most members would im sure pay at least £10 a year for the running costs. Donation done 👍
Hi Daniel
I've a mate who is interested in the Harrison dark float rod. I take it this would be ideal for tench float fishing ? Any chance you can send me your number, via pm so I can let him have a chat with you, thanks in advance
Wayne
