As a matter of course whenever I fish a running water I use a stick float and waggler for stillwaters, I have never considered a waggler on rivers.
Now I know that a waggler is used on running waters and often the choice of float for far more experienced river anglers than myself, so my question is:
When, where and why do you chose to waggle rather than stick on rivers? What are all the little clues when you arrive on the water that condition your choice of this float?
I'm guessing deep slow rivers lend themselves more to waggler, maybe downstream winds? There must be more, sometimes I read of an angler changing from a stick to a waggler during the day, why I wonder?
