Hi George

Chub can be easy or bloomin' hard to catch some days the same method won't work 2 hours apart

in fast moving flows the best rig is that of a couple of swan shot on a short running link and let it bump downstream with the flow


not a good drawing but just rushed this one together for you



baits can be anything from a small deadbait through slug, maggot, paste especially cheese, to bread crust and paste

Also, for a mixed bag or anything apart from pike on a extremely fastflowing, brown, flooded water, whats the ebst way to catch fish

the same rig for the really fast stuff it's a very useful rig as you can add and take away shot easily


for slower stretches then a big stick float with heavy shopping
whereas for slow stuff a shirt button shotted stick

i know it may seep as if you have answered my questions already but i have another lol

my river is nearly always born, fast flowing and it is hard to catch or plan to catch it on a day wehn it is slow and nice and green in colour.

i would like to try for a mixed bag there.

when it is nice conditions i have had chub to 4 pound however since i havehad no luck

any tips?

Have fished the Trent Weir Pools for Chub & Barbel, used to Quiver Tip with a Coffin lead & a 3/4" Cube of luncheon meat. Quite successful for both species, mainly chub in my case
