Hi all,
haven't posted in a long time i've been pretty busy.

I've been fishing for years as a few of you will know, but i've never grasped what floats are used for what weather/style of fishing. If anyone could fill me in it would be much appreciated.

Thanks alot,
Sam.

Hello Sam, you've really got me thinking as to what a useful answer would be. Possibly get right back to basics and read a beginners' book or is that patronising? Alternatively try to watch some decent float anglers in action, maybe at a match. I just cannot come up with a definitive answer!

Haha...That may be the answer, back to basics!

Cheers,

Hi Sam,

That's a hell of a question without giving any detail as to what quarry you're after, preferred method/tactics etc.

Plenty of fine folk on FM happy to help you, as I've found out. A terrific bunch and 99% more qualified than me to help.

Give these guys some idea of what type of fishing you're interested in and they'll point you in the right direction.

Hi Sam, I don't know if you've seen this series on float fishing by Dave Cooper in the techniques section. float fish series a few years old but still valid.
Regards, Paul.

I fish everything, from specialist to pole. But i'm most interested in pole floats and rod floats.

If any information is required just ask

Sam.

Sam,

Starting on here soon (possibly tomorrow) is a series (10/11 articles) on commercial waters that will include about three articles on pole fishing. It will be every fortnight. All I've got to do is finish writing it! (only 8 left to do). It will end up on the techniques section like Dave's series.
