Bread fishing for roach
I see that Mr Ken Joslin has written a book on bread punch fishing. I wonder if any TFF members know of this book or could recommend it? Or maybe there are other options? I haven’t heard of Ken Joslin before.
Trouble is, the fish just don't read the books......

Re: Bread fishing for roach
Thank you Walkerburt; I found the Amazon page too, by asking Google the same question. I was hoping to find any TFF members that had actually read the book or who might recommend an alternative.

Re: Bread fishing for roach
A good alternative is LA Parker 's book in the How to Catch them series. On roach. He also wrote another book that is even better but I can't remember the name. It contains in great detail how to fish with bread.

Re: Bread fishing for roach
""This Fishing"" is the book.
Fennel's book is also excellent about roach fishing.
You don't have to use punched bread - lots of other ways of using bread!

Re: Bread fishing for roach
Many thanks Santiago and Olly. That is very helpful and I have Captain Parker's little How to catch them book somewhere in this house. At the moment I cant find it. I will also try to source This Fishing; I really enjoy the way Captain Parker writes.
It's just that I so often fish worms and maggots on the Wye, always with half an eye out for perch, but I am sure that I should go out more often with just a loaf of white sliced....

Re: Bread fishing for roach
I love bread fishing and the way to gain confidence in it as a bait is to just take a loaf, perhaps liquidising a loaf as well or take out 6 slices for hookbait and liquidise the rest.

Re: Bread fishing for roach
I never got on very well using bread, I think it was just not being confident of it staying on the hook. Since reading a post on hear about microwaving a slice,rolling it out with rolling pin and using a bread punch I have had a lot more success with it especially with a cage feeder with crumb.
There are three things that improve with age: wine, friendship and water sense, and there's no short cut.
