Meet Team Member - Martin Rowden

Primarily a commercial match angler but just as at home on natural venues and rivers however I've chased barbel and chub for many years along with big bags of bream that said I've also been known to target all bodies of water from fly fishing to sea if there's fish to be caught you can find me with a rod in my hand 

Favourite venue:has to be Kingfisher Lake at Tollerton for a commercial but the River Tees will always have a place in my heart 

Favourite species: chub or barbel, Bream or big roach maybe even a grayling 

The Favourite:method has to be shallow fishing 

Favourite Hinders product:Blitz Multi-mix 

Most memorable session:this year has been fantastic for me going from strength to strength and even though I've been lucky enough to land some big fish and big bags of fish but for me winning a recent match with 229lb from a peg no one liked finishing 120lb ahead of everyone else

Target for the next 12 months:to qualify for Fish North and WIN
