I recently have started fishing without any knowledge at all until i started watching your videos, only the other week i had never caught a fish! I can happily now say ive watched pretty much all your videos over the past month and now after 3 times going on the bank, i have caught 4 perch and 2 roach, thanks to you guys, you have allowed me to gain the knowledge to catch my first EVER fish, big thank you to you guys from myself cannot appreciate your videos enough!! Keep it up lads dont ever give this up. You all have such great talent 👍 - Kieran

I dedicated 1 whole year to master fishing for chub, I can say with 100% confidence I'm guaranteed a couple of catches per session with ease.

I want a zander video, plssss!😂🙏🙏

Catching Chubb on a lure is the technique I enjoy the most, but a free lined lob worm dangled in a “ chubby “ spot can produce a very quick take and probably a decent size fish, a ledgered cube of cheese in a flowing stream also produces results, great channel by the way 😊

Really helpful video as always Carl. One of my local rivers has a good head of Chub but has very few areas where the depth is more than 2ft - It is also clear and you can watch the fish although, as you rightly point out, one careless footstep and they just melt away. Surprisingly, a static bait tends to be ignored so a few of us who fish it regularly came up with the idea of a 2 no 4 crystal waggler fished double rubber so you could float the bait down but watch the bait and strike when the fish grab it. Has worked well with fish up to 5lb and is real heart in mouth stuff as you watch them come for your hook - Amazing how many times they veer off at the last minute as well!

Hey Carl. I am just starting to get into float and feeder fishing and honestly of the tons of KZfaq videos I have been watching lately, this is my favourite video!! Well done and thank you! Can't wait for river season!!

The Chub in the Little Ouse, near where I used to live, knew the close season. They'd sit in 18 inches of crystal clear water by a footbridge. Then the 16th came around and they'd be gone. Wily little buggers 😊😊

Great advice from a top angler! 👌

I know most of this but I had to watch the legends at work thanks Carl for all the advice on fishing and obviously we can’t forget the camera man well done one day I would like the success that you have had on KZfaq 😀

The details provided for bait, hooks, and the need for balance of presentation, float use, of casting, the areas and style of waters, likely areas of finding and location. One of the best set of explanations, clear concise and informative. I will subscribe and like, the later action will be rescinded to erase the endless rubbish that Facebook and KZfaq then assume must be relevant. I mean how can the blogs of ww2 also be relevant or related to this article. Again cheers

Yeeesssss! Thanks for the videoooo!!! Always wanted you to do one about chub :) Thanks for tips gonna try in spring ^^

Hey Carl, via your competition against Angeln Maximal, I just happened to stumble upon your several channels and could't take my eyes off the screen since. Very entertaining and full of valuable knowledge and tricks at the same time. Thank you very much! Now I've got a question that covers just the opposite of your video: How do you not catch Chubs? I live in north-eastern Germany and fish a lot in rivers and streams of all sizes. From corn to huge wobblers, the chance of a Chub biting is about 90%. It's not that I don't like chubs, but fishing e.g. for Eel and Pike, especially at nighttime, I find it fairly annoying to be thrilled by an off-going bite detector having hooked a chub barely larger than the baitfish itself. Thanks in advance and best wishes, Johannes

Colder weather - bigger depth. Warmer weather, like peak of the summer - wade to the middle of the river downstream and throw bait into shallows and speeds. Spring baits: mulberry, sour cherry, small baitfish summer: rain worms, hoppers, under developed frogs, smaller frogs Autumn: mostly sweet corn, try and get fresh from supermarket, small baitfish Winter: Chicken liver, mostly. In deep winter, try and find in the center of the river in deeps. Spring, autumn get to the shallow bank and throw just under some overhanging tree, tree roots, on the opposite bank. Summer, either as already described from deep into the shallow in the days peak, in the morning and late afternoon, throw to the transitions between shaols and sendbanks and deeps, near rapids. You can fish it with floats, on the bottom with heavy leads up from 10oz(30gr). On spinning techniques...basically every type of lures, but most effectively spinners and small crankbaits. It can happen while fishing for bream to catch chub on worms, pellets, and bread. Regarding fly fishing of chub. Apply every single rule as for fishing for stream trout. You have to be invisible, don't wade water, don't wave rod over water, present fly as naturally as possible. 5-6 rod, WTF line, floating line, at least 6' leader and at least 2' tippet. hooks no bigger than No. 8. For absolutely all techniques: they live locally in groups. Rearly leave shelter. Be as less disturbing as possible. If you happen to see some number of them cruising, most you will catch at that spot is few fish. After that either present completely different bait (and hope it works) or move on. Start upstream, and move downstream. When wading in summer, sneak through deeps, and throw far on the bank downstream. Most success I had is: hoppers and corn for livebait. Bigger dry flies and some sort of flys which are acting like half developed nymphs start as dry and when soaked act as wet flys. Don't ven have to look like any known patterns...whatever you make, it will fish. Normal mayflies in every stadium, can't go wrong with them. All this is from almost 20 years of fishing chub. No pictures and no videos... never wear phone to fishing...sorry about that.

Absolutely amazing as always. By chance I’m going out with my dad after I finish work to go chub fishing and this has made me want to go even more and give a couple other baits a try.

Lovely stuff mate, keep doing what you're doing. Learned so much from a single video with so many details thrown in. Thanks a lot!

Guys i caught my first specimen fish here in south africa with you advice and all the stuff i learned from you..he was 9.6kg

As usual another amazing video. The consistency of both of your channels is amazing 👏

Superb video👏 Thank you for such an informative film on fishing for Chub. Can’t wait to give it a go on our northern rivers Aire, Calder , Swale and Wharfe. 👍

Brilliant guys is this gonna be every Saturday you relies a new video brilliantly made great to see more great work

The BEST Fishing Tutorial 😉

Theres a shallow stream nearby that has a deep hole, about 9ft deep but only a few foot across, you have to plummet to find it. At certain times of year that hole is chub glory, like the entire chub population on that stretch sit deep in here and you can literary pull them out 1 by 1 sat there and caught 70 of them in a couple hours, some upto 2-3lb

a very well put together video again boy's well done, with very good information thank you both again

Another great video & lots of insite to maximize the changes. Great work guys 👌🏼

Another excellent fishing tutorial video lads keep it up

Interested timing.. I just made my debut video for my fishing channel and it’s all about the Chubbski 👍🏻

My mate caught a nice chub in our local pond today! Was looking at how I can outdo him but seems he got lucky for a small pond 😂

Great Video. maybe next year i can get a Chub or something in our River. Thx

Love watching your great videos. Keep up the good work.

Excellent work

Great video

Amazing spot,,, and thank you for tutorial

Great video again mate 👍🎣😎

Chub is only located in 1 place in scotland and that is in the river Annan. No where else up here has chub. Rivers elsewhere mostly have trout and grayling only.

really good guide

Great video lads!!!!!

not when u live in stoke... catch shopping trolleys and old bikes in the canal ah good ol stoke

Good ❤

What is the holdall you use in this vid please? Looks a great size for roving days. Thanks.

Hi i have just gottentinto fishing as a way of helping with my depression, and really enjoy it. ilove your videos, and find them so helpful. but when it come to fishing rivers im not sure on the rules? i have a fishing license so does that mean i can just turn up at any river and fish? Thanks in advance.

Great video, do you have any tips for catching pike on the canal? 😁

Love it

How hard do you have to strike when you get a bite

Just put a bait into the river where i'm responsible, any bait will do, and you probably will get a Chub on the other end. With that said, if you plan to come to Munich i will reserve two cards for you ( one day of fishing directly in Munich! ). You just need a tourist fishing licence.

!6:03 what was that rod

Do you guys have sterlet in England

Dace similar to chub yeah here chub is called clean and dace is called small chub

Hello. This is a very informative video, Thankyou. I fish a small river in Milton Keynes about 30’ upstream from a weir gate (the bit that lifts and restricts the flow). Recently I have drawn blanks, not even a line knock. The weed in the river is really awful but the flow and depth varies. My bit is around 3’ deep and shallower nearer the bank, it’s pretty uniform across the river and in plain open water, no overhangs etc. I always float fish and right in the edge of the flow. I catch a range of fish even Chubb but the Chubb are just small Roach size say about 8” long. At least they are fish. Can you advise the best way, including bait, to catch Chubb at this section going by my description. At the moment the water is at a jogging pace in the middle, slowing to a nice walking pace at the margin say 3’ out from the bank. I have lost tackle in the underwater weeds too so it’s best just to fish in the spots where I know I won’t get snagged. Oh and I almost always use white maggots, I’ve not had success with garden worms. Thanks.

I’ve caught chub on lures

what is in the water in uk!!!!!?
