danthebugman 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2021 Trying to do some nymphing for trout this weekend and had a hard time keeping the creek chub off. Still put a bend in the rod though 🤷. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DFoster 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2021 The lowly Creek Chub- Here in the Northeast our local species of chub are known as Fall Fish. Here they can grow into the 12" range and he truth is pound for pound they fight as hard as trout. They've fooled me into thinking I had a Rainbow on many times. They really are great fun on a fly rod. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
