I meant to say Liphook,that trout came for the indicator 3 times in a row. I remember having the groundbreaking idea of using a feeder full of mashed sardines whilst dead baiting for pike,took the loss of a few feeders before I realised it doesn’t work, If only I had thought of putting a treble on them

I prefer indicating flies rather than these 'hookless floats' in the form of foam/yarn etc. Its amazing what a fish will lash at on occasion! Groundbaiting for pike is a whole other topic we'd better keep out of the flytying section for fear of reprisals from purists
Yes, I agree with keeping it out of the fly fishing section. You wouldn't want to make us purists angry, you wouldn't like us when we're angry.
That takes me back iasgair. His hair looks like the last deer hair sedge I tied last month
