This is my second season fishing and I fish club waters which are not densly stocked. I generally fish one float rod and one with a ledger and bite alarm. Looking through my fishing diary I have seen a pattern of nearly always catching on the ledger which is positioned a bit further out than the float. This year I have only had a few fish on the float. This seems strange as I though float fishing was supposed to be more sensitive and the margins productive. I can also see where to chuck in loose feed with the float so it should be working?
So am I not fishing the float correctly? I usually fish at depth and only lay-on when my float doesn't hold position due to under-tow. I also only use dust shot down the line unless combating drift and I also use lighter line than the ledger and pre-stretched hook lengths. I think I am following excepted methods but perhaps I should try laying on a fair amount?
Please let me know if you can suggest any mistakes I might be making.
Thanks Neil.
