Im off on holiday to a caravn park by newcastle emlyn and ive found out they have on site fishing from the river running through it . Ive always fancied fishing but ive only done it a few times . I just asked him what kid i needed to buy (excluding permits etc) I mentioned spinners, floats and hooks etc and he just said floats are banned on most rivers in the uk and it didnt ring true to me . Like walshie said i couldnt really see the problem with them . Just thought id ask on here

Unfortunately bud it's not just that straight forward. Sometimes you can use a float with a prawn or worm for salmon, but it all depends on the club rules really they are usually annoyingly specific.

 

Sorry I can't be more help than that! Be careful with your rod license too, to fish for salmon you would need a migratory fish license which are fairly expensive. All the best with it

Cheers, ant info is good info. Will just be dangling a lone for trout probably

On that stretch of the river the rules change by the yard practically. Some stretches you can use only worm, others only spinners etc. I don't know the ins and outs, but I have spoken to a few fishermen down there and one side of a bridge is one rule and the other side is another and the rules seem to change at different times of the season too.
