▲TopBIOGRAPHY

Roger Miles grew up on a farm in Central Victoria with a family who were all keen anglers it was here his addiction to fishing grew. Bryan Miles, Rogers’s brother is a fishing guide in the Northern Territory.

Roger has a huge amount of fishing experience and has fished a lot of different locations throughout Australia targeting species such as Australian Bass, Golden Perch (Yellowbelly), Barramundi and Mangrove Jacks, but the Mighty Murray cod is his passion.

Roger worked in the television industry for 16 years and due to restructuring in the industry a career change was made into the tackle industry. Roger has been a regular fishing writer for magazines such as Freshwater Fishing, Fishing Monthly Group, (V.F.M) and Provincial Fishing Magazines, (North East Angler and South West Fishing).

The time spent in the tackle industry reinforced Rogers’s belief that there was the demand for a native guiding business in Victoria/ New South Wales. Roger has had good results in native fishing competitions.
