Chub, Warks Avon.
Only a couple of spare hours in the whole of this week so I grabbed a rod, a net, a few bits and a tin of luncheon meat and headed for the river. The weather was pretty dire, windy and wet but I managed to catch a Chub and lose a Barbel.
At 3lb 6oz it wasn't the biggest I have ever caught but very welcome. The Barbel I lost managed to transfer the hook into weed which really should not be there at this time of year. We have certainly had some strange weather this year!

A nice looking Chub there Joe,I have to agree regarding the weather,it has been a little odd really and the rivers are gasping for a large drop of rain to be fair,although when we will see some sufficient rainfall is anyones guess.
