Dave’s secret lies in a waggler set just a few feet deep in as much as 12ft of water. “I first discovered chub feeding well off the bottom on the Warwickhire Avon back in the 1980s,” he recalls. “I was always amazed by how I could set my waggler at 4ft, sometimes even shallower, in 12ft of water, and catch.” Now, as well as rigging up a rod with a float set at full depth, he’ll always have…1 min
