Bournemouth specimen angler Dean Derbyshire, 21, already has an incredible angling CV – and takes mean photos, like this one too!

Dean went trotting on the Dorset Stour and used a Drennan Matchpro Ultralight 14ft rod to trot a 2½ Swan Loafer on 4lb Drennan Supplex line through a far bank run featuring a large tree. Dean sprayed maggot and fished a single grub on a size 18 hook to nylon to take a succession of quality fish – 11 Chub to 6lb 13oz and over 20 Roach to 1lb 10oz!

We absolutely love Dean’s autumnal Chub / Roach brace picture, which makes us all want to go trotting as soon as our local rivers fine down again….

The Matchpro Ultralight rod range is firmly established as one of the best choices by discerning anglers looking for a high quality trotting and float-fishing tool, available in a wide range of lengths to suit all tastes and venues.
