The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

Under direction from my Gaffer, I've been 'tidying up' my study and fell upon a lever arch file containing photos I'd long believed lost. Among them was this image of a 5lb 1oz chub, taken on a trip to Burgate on the Hants Avon, dated 17th February 1984. Now, if you reach for your copy of 'River Diaries', page 271, you'll read the honourable Yates's account of that trip and mention of that very fish. 35 years later and the circle is squared

A lovely chub Colonel, I shall reach for the said book tonight and read the account

Lovely!

Superb, looking forward to more of those lost lever arch file photo's.

What a wonderful find Ray. Proper chub that.

The 1970's rang and asked for their 'tache back.

Three of my son's have mentioned I look like a 70's porn star .........quite how they would know what a 70's porn star looks like, I'm not sure, unless they found the old VHS video tapes that were with the 'lever arch file' !!!!!!

I love the line, "It's got a head like a cod!" said the river-keeper.
