A bit subjective but what floats would you include in an all inclusive 'river collection' to suit your own fishing?
From slacks and eddies to fast glides, shallow riffles to deep and steady runs?
I'll 'fess up and say that this is more than a general curiosity given that I'm looking for a project to while away the Winter nights.
My river float fishing is almost entirely done with sticks and Avons, I've got plenty of bolo's but I don't really use them in a situation that an Avon wouldn't cope with.
So for me, with niche excursions included, I'm thinking...
Avons
Avon sliders
Slim Avons (a bit like the Thames Roach floats)
Sticks
Wire (or carbon, or both?) stemmed sticks
Straight wagglers
Straight insert wagglers
Chubbers or Loafers
Perch Bobbers (universal but essential!)
Dibbers
I'm not a lignum user as I tend to just use a heavier float and bulk some shot directly below it if I need distance.
Anyone think of any others that they'd likely use as part of a river collection?
