Hey Rene, He was using a flyrod and doing the time honored tradition of chumming the fish. You can't do what he was doing in Alberta. Chumming/attracting fish is fairly common among coarse fisherman in the UK. Some coarse fisherman even use slingshot gadgets to distribute the attractant. I remember watching a guy launch a meal worm dough ball via slingshot. It smelled awful.
You'll see people use corn in the same manner in the Mid-West at the put and take ponds. Carp fishers also use doughballs in the same manner in parts of the Mid-West.

Does anybody read the Article about ff for tench and rudd in tha June 2002 Issue of ff&ft written by John Goddard? He used a 'bread fly' (Hook) with some white marabou or oistrich plume. Looking at the picture I could see some bread floating on the water while he was playing a tench? He used it to feed the fish. Is this flyfishing?
