Where did float fishing the margin go?, feelining?, touch legering and quivertipping with one rod?
It didnt go anywhere. The only thing thats changed is your perspective based on looking at what other people are doing. Dont look at them and continue to do whatever you enjoy and let them do what they enjoy.

New skills are also being gained that the "Masters" of yesteryear never even had .....spodding, hair rigs, understanding why bolt rigs work, , fish welfare, better understanding of watercraft & species location (and not blindly following Crabtree advice), line concealment, tackle developments, bait advancements....to name just some.
What skills EXACTLY are being "lost" ?
Float fishing ? ...nope, loads still do it, its not that difficult.. ..trotting ?...nope....loads still do it , its not that difficult..touch ledgering ? ...nope, loads still do it, its not that difficult....even using a centerpin...more popular today than ever.
Lets get real here. Very few skills are actually being lost..they are being recycled and some get less popular for a period of time while new skills and better understanding are being added continually.
It has nothing to do with Carp Alan.
