My name is Andrew Field, I love float fishing and making fishing floats.
.
My floats are made with meticulous attention to detail from the highest quality materials available. Many of my floats are inlaid with feathers found in old fly tying kits, stuffed birds or other sustainable resources. All floats are handmade by myself, all the cork, balsa, reed, quills and cane are hand shaped perfectly so your float will look and fish beautifully.
.
Please take time to look through the many images on my site and feel free to get in touch if you would like to chat floats or fishing and if you cant find exactly what your looking for on my blog just let me know the float you want and im sure il be able to help. Im always keen to take on a challenge and enjoy making new designs.
.
Keep checking back from time to time as I regularly make updates to my blog with new freshly finished floats.

Handmade Floats, Traditional Floats, Elder Pith Fluted Avon's and The Mike Winters Sprat Floats

Hello Float Anglers
.
The two large fluted avons are the first of my elder pith floats. Phil Humm sent me some of his old float making gear which contained a half finished float so I cut the flutes and finished it off for him along with another. They are roughly 7ssg in size & much smaller than a balsa float of the same shotting capacity. I have been asked many times to make floats from elder so I thought it about time I made an effort and give them a try. I have several different paint colours so expect to see more pith floats soon. I have been on the hunt for elder pith while walking the dogs in the evenings and I must say what great fun. The elders always seem to grow near fantastic beds of nettles and if im really lucky there is always a nice section I really want covered with brambles!! Lovely!! Ha!! It makes buying balsa seem very bland.
.
As usual, if you would like me to make you a float or two feel free to get in touch on the e mail or phone numbers below.
