River Chub

The Chub can be found in most of the UK's rivers and more recently in stillwaters where it is being stocked. It is a predatory fish and tends to live together in shoals, larger specimens tending to become solitary.

That is what you call a "proper" chub. Well done Jedd.

I know Shippo,

I was in two minds whether to post the photo because of my expression. :lol: :lol:

It was a lump and does not look as big on the photo for some reason.

Thanks for the other comments chaps

was all set for having a few chub today but only managed two about a pound, for some reason my chub peg on the little brook i fish didnt seem to have any chub in numbers in it although had the two chub was expecting more, but added 20 dace 6 roach and another trout, i hope the otters havent now decimated the chub on this brook, but i have a few more goes left to try before end of season if it doesnt get mild, i wont be flogging it out for barbel.

managed to get to the brook today and had 5 chub and three trout, although caught the same trout twice (stupid fish) no big chub ( 1.5-3lb) but good fun, all on different baits, water very cold, about 12lb in match weight terms, not bad for a couple of hours.

Nice one Paul, good to see you put a few fish on the bank. Funny how you sometimes catch the same fish twice, happened a couple of times to myself but with chub.
