However, recasting I did have a fish an hour or so later. Striking, I immediately knew that it was a chub on the end rather than a barbel. It certainly felt like a good fish and as it came to the side ready to be netted, it looked like a personal best was on the cards. I have yet to catch a six pound chub and my initial glance, as this fish slipped into the mesh, made me wonder whether this was it.
It wasn’t a particularly long fish, but it was very fat. It didn’t go to six pound unfortunately; in fact it was some way off. But at 5-8-0 it was a new personal best chub, and therefore made me a very happy man. It is the upper Severn that is synonymous with big chub, but this season I’ve had a couple of fives and several fours from the river below Worcester.
