The River Rother runs from Rotherfield through Kent and East Sussex to the idyllic town of Rye where the mouth of the river can be found. The water holds a mix of fish species and is very popular with Pike anglers. A number of clubs have access to the river who often run match fishing competitions.
The river has many features including large patches of lily pads, reeds lining the river edge, inlets... There are often small boats running up and down the river.
