Tip for Fly Fishing and Baiting

Hi Folks

Quick tip today, something that I learnt a few years back when I ran out of bait when doing some river fishing.  As you know, any fishing trip isn’t complete without a flask of tea and a few sandwiches.

Well, as I said, we were river fishing and was having some luck with trout and mullet, when I ran out of bait and started cursing.  My friend who has been doing it since he was a kid, asked if I had any sandwiches left.

To cut a long story short, it seems that many fish are quite partial to a bit of bread  You can either throw a handful of large crumbs on the surface to attract some fish to the are, or as I did, wet the bread, roll it up into a ball, and then bait it on the hook.

I caught 2 more fish using this method, not many but a lot more than what I would have caught without any bait at all!  Now I always make I bring some bread for the fish as well as for me!

Let me know if you’ve found anything weird and wonderful fish are partial to, we all know, that Carp love the taste and smell of pineapple for example!

Speak soon,
Phil
