HOW MANY FISH?

This style of fishing is ‘smash and grab’, and in many small swims you are unlikely to catch more than a single chub as the disturbance of catching one will spook any other fish present for an hour or two.

In larger swims such as long creases, by starting at the upstream end and working down you can catch more than one. If you do catch a chub, hold it in your landing net for a few minutes while you try for a second.
