Stunning Frome grayling on the float

TROTTING a pair of red maggots 20 yards downstream to a near-bank slack helped put this immaculate 3lb 2oz River Frome grayling on the bank for John-Joe Price. 

The Gloucester all-rounder spent 20 minutes baiting the fast water in front of the slack with maggots before casting his float.

“When it reached the slack the float’s orange bristle disappeared, I struck and this huge grayling rolled on the surface,” John-Joe said.
