Overview

The stick float technique appeals to the senses of river anglers UK-wide: touch certainly, as this float requires precision and attention to detail to fish it well and without it some bites will be missed, sight, of course, as watching that float tip like a hawk as it travels downstream is vital to detect those bites, and sound - that unmistakeable 'clunk' when a fish takes the bait and the strike connects with a lively fish is music to our ears. All anglers in this book have known the thrill of this experience many times over, and the contents are testimony to their skill. Hope you like their stories.
