Best bait and tactics

Standard float fishing and ledgering techniques work well on the Iona Bait Pool all year round. Worm, maggot and sweetcorn or Power Bait can all be used to terrific effect. Favourite tactics lately have been 1& 1/2ft drooper from a float with either worm & corn combo or green or pink power Bait.

Tight Lines!
