FISHING FOR BIG CHUB PETER STONE BEEKAY PUBLISHERS: ENFIELD 1983. 1st edition. 22 x 15 cm. 120 pp. HB/DJ “Many changes have taken place hi chub fishing during the last twenty years. Quiver-tips, improved blockend feeders (Feederlinks), the use of 2Ib lines, lib bottoms, 18-24 hooks, Waggler and Stick floats, casters and hemp have resulted in the introduction of many new techniques, and big bags—big chub too—being caught. Yet 'old-fashioned' methods and baits remain both popular and effective, among them legered bread and worms, floating crust, free-lined baits and upstream legering. In recent years stillwaters, gravel pits in particular, have, chub-wise, grown in stature. Legering, float fishing and free-lining have resulted in some spectacular catches with an ever-increasing number of anglers (although still at the moment comparatively few) taking an interest in stillwater chub. One old-fashioned and largely forgotten method now making a comeback is dead-baiting. The author has been catching chub on dead fish for over forty years, a technique which resulted in the capture in 1982 of his biggest-ever chub, a magnificent fish weighing 7lb 4oz. All these methods—and others—are described in this book with the complete knowledge gained by the author in his pursuit of this very popular species.” From the dust jacket.

First edition.
“Many changes have taken place hi chub fishing during the last twenty years. Quiver-tips, improved blockend feeders (Feederlinks), the use of 2Ib lines, 1lb bottoms, 18-24 hooks, Waggler and Stick floats, casters and hemp have resulted in the introduction of many new techniques, and big bags—big chub too—being caught. Yet 'old-fashioned' methods and baits remain both popular and effective, among them legered bread and worms, floating crust, free-lined baits and upstream legering.

In recent years stillwaters, gravel pits in particular, have, chub-wise, grown in stature. Legering, float fishing and free-lining have resulted in some spectacular catches with an ever-increasing number of anglers (although still at the moment comparatively few) taking an interest in stillwater chub.
