Thanks for that, shall give that a try
That reminds me actually, few Years ago I was checking out a new club water, well, new to me, anyway.
It was close season and I'd just gone down for a look.
It was a tiny river, more of a stream in places and I was standing on the road bridge gazing in when I remembered I had a peice of pork pie in the car.
It was quite a big piece, but it had been rolling around on the floor of the car so I didn't want to bite a bit off so just lobbed the whole lump in to see if any Chub would appear to peck at it.
Almost immediately, a vast, submarine like Chub appeared from the murky water and swallowed the whole thing in one go as I watched on in utter disbelief.
Needless to say I was down there before first light on opening day and spent many further days fishing down there.
Sadly I was too new to Chub fishing to really stand a chance and never caught anything bigger than a few oz's.
Would probably fare a lot better now but the club gave the stretch up (as they have with many river stretches) as it just didn't get fished by anybody else.
