Flat Float Fishing on the Avon

The start of the river fishing season has been disappointing, with plenty of rain most of the rivers have been up. Capitalising on a drop in river level, James sets out to fish the Warwickshire Avon with our CP2000 Competition Pole. In this edition, he demonstrates how to fish with the flat float, a great method to use when you are faced with pegs that have deep water and a powerful flow.

nice to see river fishing, rather than all the usual commercial fishing makes a nice change

[@easyfishing1936]

Hi the flat float is one of my favourite methods on my local river which is very deep in some areas, 20 feet is not unusual. So I was very pleased to see James demonstrating this method. I did wonder why James didn’t fish a bit shorter if the depth was there! Tricky conditions for both James and Ian and I do love the atmosphere that Ian captures, especially the slow motion shots. Lovely looking stretch of the river with plenty of trees etc. Loved this video, as always. Regards Bill

[@cadencefishinguk]

James did feed closer but that line didn't produce much on the day despite the depth. It just seems the bream prefer to be in that deeper third to mid river. Maybe they feel safer there?

[@paulkozyra4467]

Slow motion is also one of my favourites 👍

One of the best flat float videos I've seen. Why? When? How? All answered simply and easily understood. Thanks James.

[@nickburrage]

I specimen barbel fish these days, but watching your videos makes me want to get back on the float! Keep um coming pal 👌

[@alanstone4875]

What a cracking video never seen a video using the flat float very informative well done chappers making James look so good

[@cadencefishinguk]

He makes it easy for me👍

[@DannysAnglingBlog]

thank you so much for making this video, i get so many people asking me to make a video fishing this method but its one i have never fished thank you for such an in depth video!!

[@johnbambury3380]

Great video on flat float fishing with fantastic tips and explanation

[@smitbar11]

That's dedication, good instructional video for a pole noobie like me

[@marcinziemba9439]

Plus Gutkiewicz float is a nice input :) Cheers for that Mr Robbins :)

[@trevoror8668]

Thanks again James and chappy. Flat float fishing is on of my favourite methods on our rivers but there's so very little information on how to unless we speak polish or Italian and i more or less taught myself. Thanks for filming this episode it will help many people get to using this deadly method with confidence they are fishing it properly. See you soon

[@cadencefishinguk]

Cheers, let us know when sport is reliable down your way. Chappy

[@trevoror8668]

@@cadencefishinguk hi ya both the thurne and bure are fishing really well now. On the bure at st Bennetts pegs 1.2 3 are good for twenty lb+ of roach skimmers are everywhere and proper bream and skims around the black sign pegs 20- 24 . And the thurne we had a 69 lb on a match two weeks ago big skims and small bream and there's good roach to be had on this river as well you would have to go some to have a bad day i don't think James will have any problems with his level of skills. Obviously the broads are quite bissy with holiday boats and that will be more come the summer holidays but it really doesn't affect the fishing if anything the skimmers love them and we very rarely have problems even with 100 anglers match fishing early morning from first light there 5 hours with no boats and evenings quieter of lovely

[@nathanellis8030]

Don't think the labrador likes skimmers, tried nailing that last one 😂

[@devonshire5482]

We used those floats back in the early 80's in Germany on the river Weser.

[@MrEREDIT]

Genius idea with the flat float and Olivette interchangeable set up looking to pick up some for river fishing and was wondering how many rigs to set up answer only 2 or 3 with the interchange!

[@ahenneka]

Thank you James and other crewmembers. If there was an "Emmy" for best fishing video's I would vote for it ! . A joy to look at and to learn from. The most important tip I got is "go out fishing even if the weather is like that" buy yourself some excellent rainclothing like in the film and go for it.

[@cadencefishinguk]

Thanks for the kind words Aart👍😍

[@williamboulby1461]

I use the flat floats on the Aire and Calder, you need it when a big canal starts to pull off. Try it next time you're up our way.

[@iang953]

Learnt loads from that and will give it a try soon. As mentioned last night at the roadshow let's have some more Trent content soon please. Burton Joyce road stretch few pegs down from the out fall would make a good feature please James. Let me know when and I'll bring some pork pie lol

[@teunisuittenbogaart1053]

Good day to you again. The first few fish you caught during the session were white bream, in Latin Blicca Björkna. They are no hybrids, but a species of their own, and like roach, rudd, bleak and bream, all belonging to the carp family. Over here, they are abundant in some areas, like the Frisian lakes, in other parts, they are scarce or not there at all. The main differences are size of the eye, bigger than the size of the mouth, bream have eyes smaller than the mouth and the scales, which are smaller than those of bream. White bream will not grow as big as bream, 40cm being a big one. For skimmers, the Dutch language has no specific name, we call them small bream, which in fact, they are. In areas where there are too many, some don't grow to "bream size". At 29.24 you certainly caught a nice fish Again, tight lines from Holland.

[@cadencefishinguk]

thanks for your informed comments👍

How about a pole feeder video please

[@SRobinson1485]

Can you use a flat float on a river using a normal fishing rod to hold it back

[@cadencefishinguk]

Hi Steven, yes you can but it’s limited on range. Difficult to present a flat float properly past the tip of the rod and that’s why poles are so effective when using a flat float. A long rod would help! Cheers James

Super smashing great.
