the reason i mentioned pole to hand is when encountering the same sort of thing south of oxford, it has required getting it down with an olivette and then inching it through, which is something you just can't do with a stick or any other type of float, holding it back that hard with a normal rod just results in the float pulling off line. something the big roach just won't tolerate.
with the pole you can move it through in a straight line as if the seed is being washed down stream by the flow on the bottom. i.e. very very slowly.
throuble is if you tried to fish it on the drop any bait just got smahed to pieces by the smaller fish above.
