You can just see all the guts of it that’s here. This is all rotting away, but under this stuff there are some maggots feeding off this. And even though I don’t want to be going near the flesh of this, these maggots are living and these are good protein. And really good energy, massive calories. And the way to eat these is you bite off the head because that’s a really disgusting bit. In fact, I think the whole maggot is really disgusting. But then you just eat the body. But I want to be taking a bit of these now, a few for bait, and a few for food. 

 

Now I’m gonna use my maggots as bait to find something more substantial to eat. The only question is what to do with them. 

 

I’m in the French Alps. I’ve got some maggots which you can also use as bait for food. So now a chance to use those frozen lakes to your advantage, for where there’s a lake, there’s often fish. 

 

I’m definitely on a frozen lake and you can just tell as it’s wet, very slushy. And you can see it’s just a few digs down, and I’m into water here. And this is probably ice. It’s only probably three or four inches thick. And I’ve got to be really careful on the stuff, but with a little bit of effort, I should be able to dig a decent enough hole here. Get through to the slush, and then through a few inches of ice. And the idea of what I want to do is to put out a night line with some hook, and with a bit of my para cord, and try and catch a couple of fish. That’s the plan.
