The chub. A fish that seems to have become somewhat overshadowed in recent years most likely down to the spread and rise in popularity of barbel and barbel fishing. They are however one of our most obliging species, taking freely on the hottest and coldest days of the year. One of those species I associate with overgrown forgotten streams and for that alone they are most certainly near the top of my favourite species list. They have however not attracted a huge amount of attention in the angling literature. The list below is probably fairly complete and most of the books can be picked up relatively easily. The only ones you may have a few problems locating are the two Chub Study Group books and William J. Howes little paperback, The Sporting Chub.
