With Barbel to 14lb plus and Chub over 5lb from the Rother to his credit Bailiff Mike Kitchener thought he’d try his hand at fly fishing this season.
Mike is pictured here with his latest capture on the fly a Sea Trout of 5lb. Apart from Trout, Mike has already caught Grayling, Chub, Dace and even Perch on the fly.

Caught on a light weight rod and line Mike describes the fight as ‘like hooking a train, the fight was up there with the best fish I have ever caught, it’s amazing what is in our rivers and I hope to catch another soon’
