Top article Sean, your easy-reading style transports me to the riverbank every time. The 'method; results; conclusion' technique always leads to greater understanding of what you're trying to achieve. Nine decent chub is a great day out for anyone, well done and many thanks.

Really enjoyed this article Sean. Couldn't agree more about your comments on float fishing. Should we get a little rain in the next few weeks, the float is unbeatable in searching out swims and producing larger numbers of good fish -a river travelling at walking pace is a dream at the moment.

Thanks folks! I think a river travelling at walking pace will be a dream this weekend as I'm on the Warwickshire Avon. I think a big catch of chub from there is wishful thinking Mike!

I know that you're probably referring more to the pace of the river than the colour Christian, but float fishing can make a big difference to your success rate whatever the conditions. Here's an example:

Yesterday on a low and clear Warwickshire Avon in vile weather my mate Mick 'Chubby' Beecroft got bored waiting for Mr Barbel and walked back to the car for a loaf of bread and his float rod. An hour's fishing bread on the float resulted in five chub, 3 of which were over 5lb. To rub salt into the wounds in my vanity (I had stayed snug under my brolly) he then returned to his original swim and caught an 8lb barbel.

I blanked.....
