Another personal best, a 6lb 6oz Chub.

A nice Chub of 5lb 14oz on freelined Slug.

Norfolk Chub

Chub thrive in relatively large numbers in the upper, non tidal, river Wensum.If you approach the swim carefully it is possible to land some real stonkers. Specimens of 5 and 6lb plus are not uncommon. It is best to stick to mostly natural baits in the summer i.e Slugs and Lob worms. Bread, cheese-paste or flavoured meat in winter. Most of my bigger fish have fallen to freelined baits, see my-top-tips.
