Looking to get hold of a good river fishing book. Not barbel but float fishing, trotting technics etc for other species. A good technical book rather than
anecdotal or stories. Any Ideas?

Haydn
Billy Lane`s book from the seventies although 30 years old still gives solid useful imformation, explaining techniques, methods and even how to make the floats. All this from the acknowledged master of the art. Billy Lane`s encyclopaedia of float fishing, Amazon have a few second hand copies when I looked. Mic |

This is a good river float fishing book. Very match oriented and 20 years old now but the techniques haven't changed. Lots of simple advise.

You could do a lot worse than get one of John Wilsons books. He may be a pain to watch but he is a traditionalist and uses and describes many really good
methods, not just a centrepin either
Wensum..........lose some!
