In reply to @Ben689908 in the Golf Club thread, who suggested than most coarse anglers wouldn't know where to start on a fast river. True, but neither would most game anglers as most of both breeds spend the majority of their time on overstocked holes in the ground. The ability to Spey cast competently doesn't indicate being any good at fishing, neither does being able to chuck carp baits 120 yards. My original point was that it takes a high degree of skill to coarse fish fast water, particularly with a float. The modern YouTube anglers who only know how to mimic others and spend vast amounts of money on 'essential' gear will always remain clueless.
Rant over. Here's a lovely brownie from yesterday caught on a dry in fast flowing water, using a 1961 Hardy Perfection and 1970s Marquess (I bought the rod because it is the same age as me).
