To start with, I'd recommend water of less than 6 ft depth, with a steady pace, and fish very fine for roach and dace in clear winter conditions. The float needs to sit low in the water in slack flows. For perch, chub and grayling, and in rough water, you can get away with a little less finesse. A small river is ideal to start (Bedale beck?) for closer control. BTW what sort of camera do you use? Very good, clear zoom! 😊
Lovely video! If you fancy homing in the stick float skills, I’d recommend Cod Beck in thirsk town centre. A recent session saw very good numbers of dace and chublet

I had my biggest barbel there on a stick float in that very peg many years back now on a kirkstall league match it weighed 9lb 4oz.
Hi Tom is there any decent barbel fishing on this stretch? Thanks
It’s popular for barbel in summer and autumn and you can fish til 11pm

But I think you should stick to the feeder ledger tactics 😁😁😁😁🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟😀🐟😀🐟🐟
Its a delicate art more suited to younger experienced anglers .
next thing you know you will be getting the old centrepin out for an airing
