Hello Steve, excellent explanations of what float to use as the peg dictates. Do you have a rod preference for your stick float fishing and have you had any line behind the spool issues in windy conditions with those TDR reels?

Isn’t it a sad indictment of today’s anglers that after three weeks this video has only had 2550 views and 70 likes? There is more pleasure in catching ten pounds of river roach, for me, than catching two hundred pounds of commercial carp. The state of today’s rivers, with many being flooded and virtually un fishable for four months of the year, may be a major contributor to the demise in river sport, but commercial fishing has taken a heavy toll. The challenge on rivers is firstly "will I catch?" whereas the challenge on commercial venues is usually "how much will I catch?" It’s still fishing, but not as we know it. (Paraphrasing 'Bones' on Star Trek there. If you don’t recognise that you are almost certainly a person of the ‘commercial persuasion' and rivers are an unknown to you"). It is almost impossible to persuade the average angler that river fishing, where the reward might only be five pound of tiddlers, is SO much more enjoyable than catching carp. And stick float fishing is fishing in its purest form.
