Summer time, that best time for me, to try chub fishing. I like to watch river in sunlight, to found fish, with characteristic black tail and white lip. Like a Indian stalk them, quietly put bite in to the water and watch what will happened.. 27 Aug 2006 I got some greater, very fast fishing in my live. After found fishes, I was put some pellets with boiles and bird food, but water was to low for chubs. So I was just sat and wait for nothing to about 1PM when river started to go up.
I must to leave this place. After few hours high level little go down (like after wave), water stay colored - and this was best time for fishing! I want back to my fed section to get one of best fishing time! 5 min after first cast I have 2,65lb fish on grass :) After next 5 min next one too. After short photo session my best of day 3,5lb chub got flash of camera! One call to friend to tell what is going on and rod again in action.. That was amazing. All I needed was High level of Ribble and 14mm halibut pellet with a small hook..
Few months later I got 4lb fat, nights chub, which looks like this from Aug, but has so Bigger Belly :)
