A Recipe for Paste

Hello from Newbarn Farm, nice to see that the weather is finally holding and fishing has been good with all anglers having good sport with the carp and also with the silver fish.

Today I will describe a step by step guide for making a paste which can be used for fishing.


1. Purchase a bag of Trout pellet normally coming in one kilo bags. For this, a bag of micro pellet is best.
2. Then place the one kilo of pellet, a bit at a time into a blender or a coffee grinder. ( not your wife’s best she wont like it trust me I have tried ) The items can sometimes be brought from some charity shops.
3. When the pellet has been ground to a fine powder place into a mixing bowl.
4. Next add two eggs to the pellet and mix with your hands, generally it is two – three eggs per kilo.
5. Mix the mixture until it becomes like doe.
6. Then with the doe, form into a ball and place into the fridge to let the mixture settle. Half an hour to an hour will do.
The good thing about this mix is that it can be frozen and used at a later point so you can make one big mix and portion it off into big enough for a session by the lake.

Another thing you can do with the mix is add flavourings such as hemp oil etc.

So good luck making the paste and experiment with different flavours to see what works on your local lake.
