An Eight Pound Chub
No not mine, I am still waiting for the five pounder which looks like a target for next season with only one weekend left of this season. I went today but never had a bite, the river was up a good three feet.
But I have just had an email from forum member Mike Wilson which has put a lovely smile on my face. Mike has achieved one of his chub targets.
An eight pound chub.
What a fish Mike and well done, a fish of dreams.

What a kipper! That's the sort of chub that haunts my dreams in the wee small hours, my best is 6.10lb caught a few years back on the Kennet. Well done Mike...
