Well just in case…… the title is about the fish not the angler!! Saturday gave me Phil and Mike a chance to visit some new water. It was a bit of a drive but on reflection once I had recovered from the drive worth the effort. Phil often says I have a knowledge of Chub, I take that as a complement, because they are spooky fish and even though they ” as the name suggests” have a reputation for being greedy they can take some fooling at times. I say the tip was worth it on reflection for several reasons. The first it makes me more appreciative of the good rivers we have close to home. The second is that on my first visit I can take a 5lb Chub on the float, my as I called it in the last post ” Faith” in spotting a decent swim improves on each visit to a new river. I think that the skill is only acquired after years on or in the water, I truly hope I have the time to learn much much more. My thoughts as I left seemed to be “It’s a long way” “Is it worth it?” Today I sort of think another visit with a longer time to spend would be nice. After all a few Chub one of 5lb on the first visit in low water may just show the potential. On the Friday I took my total to 21 thanks to a little Stickle Back
