Chub On The Fly

I've caught a few chub whilst fly fishing for trout but wanted to catch a good one by design. I made some balsa bodied beetles and a couple of fly poppers and rooted out what I thought might be suitable from my fly boxes.

 

I blanked on my first attempt but managed to catch a few today despite the heat and brassy skies.

 

A modest start but very satisfying!

 

 

The second was a little better.

 

 

..and the third .

 

 

 Still not a monster but good fun on a 5/6 weight fly rod.

 

 



 

I've made a start and I'm really looking forward to one of the 4-5 pounders I've  been catching on lures on this outfit!
