First winter chub session

[Alex Chalmers-Wilkes]

After not really doing much fishing this winter. I was able to be allowed to fish a private stretch of my local. So it was a quick morning session loaded with hot flask and cheese paste and liqudised bread. Within an hour the rod tip bent round to produce this fine winter chub. Moved 30 yards downstream but nothing more showed. Not bad for a 2 hour session. Great to find a new stretch that no one has fished before. Looking forward to getting back once the snow has gone.

I wish I was as lucky as you to have a river close to home, nice fish

Thanks Paul, my local is a lovely river but not always easy to find new swims or access to the river due to private land need accessing,
