European Chub fishing
About European Chub
A shy, opportunistic river fish that holds under overhanging trees, around weir pools and along undercut banks, scattering at the first sign of danger. They eat almost anything, so anglers take them on small lures, flies, bread and bait, with stealthy upstream casts. Big chub are wary and reward a careful, mobile approach.
Typical size: Typically 0.5 to 2 kg; trophy fish exceed 4 kg. Record (approx.): approx. 8 kg (varies by region).
