The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

Winging its way to Staffs

Hopefully in my Xmas stocking! I'm really looking forward to reading it.

A very dear old friend of mine, a gentleman and a fine angler.

This is a really good book. I spend my time angling mostly on my own game river for grayling. I use two floats mainly - a chubber (common float) but mostly a no1 puddle chucker; bottom only (hard to find in this size but was a game changer).

I never see anyone use a puddle chucker here but they are brilliant for shallow water grayling (think "Trent or Trout Trotter). And the author of this book mentions them too (as well as the chubber) in depth - which to me shows he knows his subject.
