It's interesting to see people's different views on what's a good chub, geoff saying 4lb+ and rik say 5+ are good fish for there local river's. some angler's may have some big fish in there local river (6-7lb etc) but other's regard 4-5lb fish big where as on on other river's they're very common size fish. thanks for your opinion's to all who replied

Reply #22 - Nov 16^th, 2009 at 4:57pm i have caught two chub from the ski pit whilst fishing for the bream, no real size to them though, both around the three pound mark (probably same fish ) but for their length they were very chunky

i know of a few pits that hold them, very big fish too, i suppose again anything over 5+ would be a good'un over 6 be big.

i'm piking a venue that has a few chub in it, i know they have been caught too 5 plus, had a few odd takes too on deads, wich im certain are chub, might have to try a small piece of lamprey... Wink

they say stillwater chub can be far more cagey than river chevins, not sure how true that is tho.

i dont buy the theory that stillwater chub are more predatory tho, all chub are predatory, omnivorous buggers, they will eat anything! Shocked

I mainly fish the Teme where I've had them to just over 6, but not for a few years now and I've just started to fish another small local river where I know there's 5's but havent had one as yet.
