I dont know if any of you are aware of this but Chub were introduced into Ireland about a decade ago.I dont agree with how it was some but that is a different story altogether.
I have tried to catch one but to no avail. I know they are in the water that I am fishing as they have been caught .However the captures are at the moment very few and far between and possibly more by luck then judgement (no offence given I hope) I have tried all the "chubby areas " but to no avail (used to go stalking for them on the River Mole in Surrey) .Maggots and casters are just snaffled up by roach and small hybrids ,and have tried bread flake as well .
I had about 5 or 6 sessions for them last year and about the same the year before but confidence has taken a big hit and am not sure what to do carry on as I am or wait a few years till they colonize more in numbers
Any thoughts
