What a great end to the season for Mike Slater, right.
The Fly Fisher’s trip to t Fishery in Wickham was a decisive win for the club president.
As always, the fishery was in great condition and it was encouraging to see so many fish rising on the surface. Catching these fish was another matter. Whether or not it had anything to do with the recent hot weather was a big topic of debate, as some anglers were unable to find the winning patterns and land a fish.
Mike, however, bagged up early and it was an eager wait until the weigh-in.
Mike took the prize with a bag of 13lb 9oz.
He also maintained his 100% catch rate, a record he shared with his son Bradley. Good to keep it in the family Mike!
