Best grayling of the season banked at 3lb 8oz!
THE largest reported grayling of the year so far has been banked in the shape of this fin-perfect 3lb 8oz beauty.
It fell to the rod of environment scientist Adrian Pinder, who caught the impressive fish during an afternoon spent trotting maggots through the fast water of Dorset’s River Frome.
“On netting it after an epic fight, I knew it would go 3lb-plus, but I was absolutely gobsmacked when the scales went all the way round to 3lb 8oz,” said a delighted Adrian.
“Over the last few years I’ve put in lots of effort on the river and have had four grayling of 3lb-plus, but I can’t tell you how made up I am with this new personal best specimen.”
