myself and my son aged 11 this year joined the DRAC for some river fishing and fished the river trent near swarkestone bridge on sunday 23 july 06
it was very fast flowing and loads of weed coming down river. not having fished for years and started fishing again 18 months ago, but only fished pools and stillwaters and not fished rivers since i was a kid with my dad now i'm 41 so its been a few years and lost touch. i was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to keep a leger or swimfeeder on the bottom of a fast flowing river. tryed trotting a float then tryed a 2oz swim feeder and a 18g leger nothing was staying still, then tryed a 2oz feeder with 2 18g leger bombs still was off down the river. anyone got any ideas of what type of feeders or legers or what weight i should be using on the river trent as it seems to be quite fast flowing.
