Many thanks

on my local match lake the guys use their fly gear for surface fishing,i saw a guy last summer putting out a handful of dog biscuits and then using a piece of cork shaped like a dog biscuit on the hook,he caught a couple while i was ther,all i can say is that it looks great fun

Thanks for that Paul, it sounds like a good idea. I'll give it a go on sat and let you know how i get on.
Cheers
Keep them coming Folks

well apparently if you make a fly thats basicaly a big bit of fluff like bread that floats and chuck some free bread out to get them feeding you catch more than with bread as a bait because you doont have to keep worrying about it coming off the hook

Thanks for the tip about the bread imitation on the fly rod. I will try it out and if i can get the right material i think it will be a killer. If you pardon the pun !
Thanks Dave
