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

 Hi all, This weeks offerings are "Small, Fat Tipped, Avons" 11 centemetres long. for fishing shallow runs.....very usefull with the weather we are having the last couple of years. Simply made with balsa, hardwood paint & stain....these floats are an alternative to the Irwell sticks being narrower in the tip, fatter in the body have a reduced density stem and will take more shot down the line compared to the sticks. Finished in 50% and 100% slate grey I am hoping to get out myself for some fish and float pics on a Yorkshire River. These avons will give me some motivation to get out and fish a new stretch of River Derwent I have been looking at since the spring. I will be pairing the floats with my Bob James Pin and fishing a fast, shallow, well oxygenated stretch of the river in search of chub and barbel but centainly wont complain if I bag some silvers, a river gudgeon is always a nice surprise to if I am lucky enough to bag one.......We shall see. Ps: I have been talkin...

 Hi All, Here is a project started at christmas but finished today. Mini Slate Grey & Aqua Avons (5BB) Standard hard wood stems, pink fluorecent tips and black threads. These are still on my hit list to try out but will have to wait for the new river season. May be on the Irwell when the silvers arrive Adam Mack ? Anway, I hope you like them.

 Hi all, I have been away from float making for a few weeks due to work commitments so haven't completed as many projects as I wood have liked but I have managed to finish this set of ......... "Mini Crimson Avons With Hard Wood Stems" The floats above are for my locol River Irwell when its low and the bites are shy. Weight capacity just shy of 5BB.  These will be a must have in my box for shallow bitting silvers when fishing my local spate river. I hope you like them. .................................... PS: Below is  size comparison compared to the 4AAA floats I have made. The grey & green floats are seconds that Casterman has had a claim in for a while......lol.
