Does the sentiment of this quote from 'Confessions of a Carp catcher' by BB resonate with other FM'ers?
"You can ledger with a floatless line but such a method tries the patience of the most patient habitual carp catcher. If you have a float to gaze at, you have at least some interest; a line descending at an angle into murky waters of great depth is neither an exhilarating sight or one to foster optimism. Indeed there are great psychological deeps to be sounded in the matter of floats."
Are methods involving a float relevant to the modern carp angler?
