Four-year wait for 3lb-plus grayling ends with two in two days!
A FOUR-year quest for a 3lb-plus grayling finally ended for Steve Ballard when an opportunistic visit to the River Frome produced a pair of fish weighing 3lb and 3lb 8dr.
The Leicestershire gas engineer had a job in Wareham and packed a rod and a few tins of corn in the hope that he’d be able to get some fishing in.
“I managed two afternoon roving sessions and landed the first three-pounder on the last cast of the first day,” Steve told us.
“On the second day I lost the bigger fish before resting the swim and hooking it again!”
