Help with river floats

[Errrm]

Hi,

 

I'm finally planning on heading down the Dove this weekend and I'm hoping to catch some fish trotting so I've read all the threads about river fishing I could find, my problem is I have bought a selection of various river style floats i.e. requiring float rings. There are different types of floats what are they each used for? I have some thin wired ones with thicker bodies and some with a thicker bottom part i.e. not wire, some small stumpy floats and some straight floats... What are they each used for i.e. are some designed for fast/slow water or deep/shallow?

 

Thanks for any help...
