Stret-Pegging: A Traditional River Fishing Method That Still Catches Fish
Stret-pegging is a traditional river float-fishing technique where the float is gently held back to slow the bait's progress through the swim. This keeps the bait in the fish's feeding zone for longer and creates a natural lift-and-drop movement that can trigger bites. Particularly effective for chub, roach, dace, grayling and barbel, stret-pegging works best in steady runs and glides where precise bait presentation is key.
