Fisherman banned from using white bread

Entertainment.stv.tv: Fisherman banned from using white bread

British fishery has banned its anglers from using white bread.

The venue in Hampshire, England is believed to be the first one in the country to have stopped fisherman from using the foodstuff as bait, because experts have revelealed it makes fish fat, bloated and lethargic.

But Graham Mabey, whose company FLE Angling own Greenridge Farm Fishery near Romsey, defended the decision and urged anglers to use brown bread.

He said: "There is not much nutritional content in the white bread compared to the brown.

"The salt and sugar levels in white and brown loaves are similar but in a typical white sliced loaf there is 3.5 grams of protein per slice compared to the 5.6 grams in brown bread.

"People leave whole discarded slices floating on the water as well as on the banks which can attract rats."
