MYLES FLETCHER, an 18 year-old from Totley, Sheffield, claimed the Junior Fish’O’Mania, as beat a strong field by nearly 6 kilos to win the £1,000 and superb trophy. The university student mainly caught carp and grass carp to romp to the title.
“It’s amazing! It was the first time I tried qualifying through the Junior Nationals, and it was great to take it away from some good anglers.
“I caught carp and grassy off pellet waggler and I stuck at that all day and caught steady. The first half of the match I had three fish of about six pounds each and it went from there. I’m splitting the money with Danny Slack and the rest is going towards a car.”
