The illustrious European Chub are classified as a 'silver' fish by some of my fishing buddies but I don't agree.
Chub are my favourite river species and I hold them in the highest regard likening them to a sport fish more than a silver, having renowned cunning and fighting abilities, illustrious qualities and eminence something which cannot be said of a roach, rudd or dace.
Britannica.com defines chub as a game fish (Leuciscus cephalus)
Wiki defines chub (Squalius cephalus) as being a member of the carp family Cyprinidae which also belongs to the subfamily Leuciscinae "as other chubs and daces generally do".
So let me think, right so wiki says they are a member of the carp family/subfamily dace right?
I think???? mg:
and Britannica says they are a game fish!
Oh never mind, i'm all confused now but I still like em!
