Slider float fishing for Roach on the Hampshire Avon - The Fishing Diary 🐟

I grabbed a couple of hours of fishing on the beautiful Hampshire Avon.

This was my first time fishing a slider float on a river so it was a bit of a learning curve. I was also using a new rod, reel and camera to film it with.

I joined this club water in the hopes of catching a 2lb river Roach.

Spoiler alert - I've not done that yet. But I've only spent a few hours on the water and knew I'd need to master the slider float as some of the swims go to 14 foot plus.

I chose to fish the nearside run of my swim as there was a nice overhanging bush on the nearside bank. It also meant I could get to grips with the new technique - slider float fishing for Roach.

Give it a watch and let me know what you think. I still have a lot to learn but that's half the fun. And hopefully, this video helps you to get to grips with this technique or inspires you to try something new with your fishing.
