I reckon river fish are just as happy eating pellets as they're stillwater relatives. Bream, Chub, Barbel all adore pellets not to mentione carp and tench if they're in the water you're considering

Depends on the river but you may have to introduce them in a different way. Sounds obvious butthe flow ofthe riverwill wash anything you chuck in by hand well downstream before it hits the bottom. Try PVA bags or dampen the pellets and push them into a cage feeder.

As above, soak them in water for a little while then drain them off, mix with a little groundbait if they are too soggy, there you have it perfect for the feeder. Barbel,chub,bream, etc will go mad for it, fish a 6mm on the hook and its job done - most rivers are used to pellets anyway now so don't worry about that front.
