I gave it about 10 minutes on the stick float today on the Severn as wanted to try out my new rod and wasn't catching any Barbel, so I set up a 4BB stick float with a bulk shotting pattern, plumbed up and had about 7 foot off the tip of the rod.
I expected a lot of debris on the bottom so started a few inches off bottom. Problem I had was stick float going under in the flow. False bites.
I'm fairly sure I wasn't dragging bottom but how else would you explain these false bites? Maybe it was an undulating bottom?
River was very up and boily by the way.
