Nice chub and a great way of fishing and searching out a water. Have had a few so far this season on freelined black slugs (can bounce them under the willows and the worst that happens is you lose a hook in the snags). Going down on a lower stretch this Friday to fish corn and flake under the willows into darkness. This year I'm going to try live minnow as I've seen some good chub smashing into minnow shoals during the close season. Keep up the fishing on the small rivers beats a commercial any day of the week.

Good going there mate, looks a good start to the season

I fish a couple of really small back waters, ones just a loop off the main river, full of trees and bushes you can hardly move, but there's some cracking chub in amongst it. I find they fish well when the main rivers in flood, especially in the winter.
