Purplepeanut007 PP007 FLOAT MAKING & FISHING ADVENTURES - THE RIVER IRWELL AND BEYOND.

 Morning all, I fancied making some more "5AAA Antennae Wagglers" as they are my go to float on slow running rivers fishing for roach and bream down the middle wind permitting. I have  just finished four in charcoal & slate grey with black and rose gold whippings. Just as they were complete I recieved a phone call from "The Caster Man" "Alrite mate. Av ya got any of these in semi-loaded roach floats?  "I lost mine in a tree last year". 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄😆 If I had known I could have made these semi-loaded for him. Guess I will be busy making some semi-loaded ones in the near future!!!! I don"t do enough of this type of fishing anymore, infact the last time I did was with Caster Man and t was an enjoyable day to.  https://purplepeanut007.blogspot.com/2022/10/a-silver-doller-race-peanut-vs-casterman.html I had around 20lb on that day if memory serves me right Derek? No monster but some quality roach and the odd chub.I could catch roach like that all d

 Afternoon All, I have thrown myself back into float making after a few weeks off and have just completed multiple sets of . . . . . . "Alloy Stem Avons, Blue & Stained, 50:50 with fine tips". I have made these with balsa, hardwood and alloy for the stems. Made in three different sizes: 5BB - 1.6g. 3AAA - 2.4g, 5AAA - 4.0g. The two larger patterns should cover most of my roach fishing on slower, deeper rivers. The smaller one is around 5BB so will be a general float for lots of river situations.   TTFN . . . . Peanut.
