Speeking toa friend of mine yesterday, he tells me he's off to the Wye, fly fishing for a couple of days during the closed season. He goes on to add that during the same trip last year he spotted some very large chub on one stretch, and he intends to target them with his fly tackle.
Is he likley to get away with it, especialy when you consider his fly choice? He intends to try Bread fliessimilar to the ones used by Mullet anglers on the coast. Its hardley a typical approach for game fish?
Also has anyone tried bread flies for chub?They look alittle clumbsy for me, I would have thought a more refined and delicate approach would be better for large chub?
