Tom Scholey

My Story

Tom prides himself on being a consistent and versatile all-round angler, with victories across rivers, canals and commercial fisheries. Known for his positive and aggressive approach, he thrives under pressure and relishes the challenge of drawing alongside the very best anglers in a strong section. His adaptability and competitive mindset have helped him build an impressive record across a wide range of match formats.

Being invited to compete in the Fishub Premier League is something Tom considers a real honour. The opportunity to fish against such a strong field of anglers and test himself across different venues is exactly the kind of challenge he enjoys, and he is looking forward to getting fully involved in the competition.
