Abstract
A fishing float is described having the unique capability of maintaining its position in a moving stream, thereby allowing the fisherman to place his lure in a given spot in a stream and in a repetitive manner. The float consists of a disc having a fin on one side and a fin on the opposite side that is orthogonal with respect to the first fin. Fish attaching points are located on the periphery of the disc and are each located approximately 45 degrees from each fin. Attaching a fishing line to a preferred attaching point is determined only by the direction of the stream relative to the fisherman.
