advice for river fishing (on the cam in CAMBRIDGE but general advice will do fine)?
hi,
i’m going fishing on the cam in a couple of days but i have never really fished in a river before and were i have fished i have only ever got tiddlers the biggest was a roach about as long as from your shift key to your ?/ key. so i need a quick bit of advice on stratergies ( for float fishing ), techniques, tackle and baits.
thanks a lot
Okay, the style I would use is put a light Waggler Float on using Maggots or in the conditions we are having at the moment try using Pinkies with a small pinch of Groundbait every cast,If the river is pushing through a bit with a lot of Colour,( forget the groundbait).If its normal throw 6-10 Pinkies after your Groundbait,Just be a bit patient and keep feeding the same line, do not expect a fish every chuck and don,t worry if the small one,s come first the larger one,s won,t be far away, Tight Lines. PS No bigger than a size 20 Hook.

river fishin is simular to fishin out of a pond or a lake your just need to reposition your bait more often, you can still use lures, but you want to cast up stream or straight out across the current. try along banks and in off cambers where the water isnt flowing as fast you will have better luck, im not sure what your fishing for so i cant really say what to use

depending on the current… you may want some 3oz weights
