team tractor Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 I haven’t fished for 3 years and that’s only in our holiday home/Somerset. It’s been at least 10 years since I’ve fished with my dad locally and the syndicate I’m on now has a stretch of river my dad fished 60 years ago as a kid so I surprised him with a trip there and my mum quickly sorted me a license. in 2-3 hours we managed 15-20 little roach/chub/perch etc but then I had a little surprise . the float disappeared and I landed this beauty. somewhere between 5-6 lb ? my personal best ever chub .
