Worms

[ANT0308]

What worm would you say would be best for river fishing and maybe chopping up for carp thanks?

Depends what you're after really, Ant. Lobworm is one of my favourites, great on the rivers for Perch, Bream, Carp, Tench etc...
Although, I prefer smaller red worms for bream.

One method of using lobworms (nightcrawlers) that I didn't see mentioned which can be really devastating in the early summer is using 'floating lobworms' they can be made to float either by using a hyperdermic needle to put air into the head section; or putting a small piece of dull colured foam on the hook. They dangle with their moving tails hanging and look really enticing to the fish.
They are really good for Carp on the surface or popped up off the bottom, they are also great for surface fishing for Chub etc. I always use them when stalking Carp in the early summer and they can work well even on waters where Carp get a lot of normal floating baits thrown at them.
