On his latest visit to the Rother Stephen Gray used trotting tactics to catch Roach, Dace, Gudgeon Perch, Minnows, Chublets and a Chub of about a 1lb.

Although Stephen enjoys trotting he also likes to put out a second rod, a light Chub rod, on this occasion he managed to hook and land a decent Barbel of 8lb 3oz.
