Many years ago I read one of the great Late English angling writers, Mr HT Sheringham, and one of the many memorable passages that stuck in my head was a story about a brace of large chub he caught, but because they were considered very poor eating, instead of eating them himself, he left them by the roadside, for the poor. They were gone when he returned a week later, as was the bootlace he has used to string them. The question he raised was did they covet the chub or simply the bootlace? This sort of thing makes an impression on me, and I was never too fond of catching chub as a result - that and they fight similarly to wet socks, well after the first run anyway. Still a large chub eagerly consuming a dry fly is a pleasant sight, and there are certainly chub in the stretch of river where I live. Whether they are large and eager to consume dry flies I have yet to discover, but Skeg thinks so... Me: Hi guys, Skeg: I've (and most of the Hun FF-ers) fished a LOT for chub. Big ones, too. Paul, if ya float on the Drava, there are monsters of chubs. Ask Bali. In some periods hoppers, any big terrestrial imitation could work with an aggressive presentation, but sometimes streamers work better, espec. for big ones. smallish muddlers, thunder creeks, flashy-flies. (Skeg is a Hungarian hippy by the way.) Foreignmuck: I go for them specifically here round Cambridge. A foam beetle or any chunky low riding dry seems to work well. I sight fish them and like to really splat the fly down in the middle of the pods of fish. They get all competitive and charge down the fly most of the time. Also caught them accidently while chasing pike so streamers would work too. Zoran:
Chubs, hmm.. big ones ....spent my youth chasing them.
Altogether with Asp, the most underrated fish in the terms of Fly Fishing.
Chub, Asp and Afrikaan Yellowfish are far more interesting and attractive than any other fresh water species I know (sorry for Trout purists, but that's it ) -so, the first condition is that, somehow, you spot him and he doesn't spot you Will: Ooh! Ooh! Chub! Rubber legged stimulators and foam grasshopper pattern were deadly on the Thames. For the chub I was after it was a first light thing. They preferred to be over gravel, not silt. Overhead cover obviously. Interesting thing was, they wanted the fly on their nose, or just behind them. If I led them by 5ft they ignored the fly. Put it a foot away and they took it. Chub are great. It's all about to happen... Cheers,
