Well i dont river fish so it would be nice to get one in the still water infact i have already caught one not big about 1lb i guess,but i have to say that CHUB
and BARBEL are for the rivers not still waters and a true chub/barbel will always be classed one from the rivers but think about those like me who can not get
to the rivers easy(cant drive) it might be there only chance of catching one so would it be fair to have chub/barbel in rivers only after all they seem to
adapt to the stillwaters with no problems but i can see both sides of the coin on this one not a easyone to answer without causing a bit of a stir one way or
the other

right
the reason i ask is we have just stocked our lake with chub they ranged from 4oz to a pound plus and number 2000+ the lake is 6 acres plus so plenty of room to grow. and anglers are catching them now ,we will just have to wait and see the outcome in a year or twos time .

Those in Kingsland Reservoir (25 Pegs, Coates, nr Peterborough) are the fittest, healthiest most hard fighting chub I have encountered.

Most club lake's or day ticket venue's have started to stock they water's now with chub just so angler's have something to catch in the height
of winter when carp switch off!!!
And also on mixed fisheries to make the angler un aware of the next fish he/or she may get!! |

Have had a couple of chub from our lake recently,around the 2lb+ mark ,very healthy and give a good fight,they have been in for a few years now but dont get
caught so often,usually after summer has gone.Also last year 500 small barbel were introduced after all EA checks to make certain the water was ok but as far
as I know no one has yet caught one.Another venue I go to has chub and barbel which are good healthy fish,and have adapted well.So I see no reason not to stock
if water purity is ok.
ps I still prefer to catch them on the river though,seems more of a challenge. |

They do seem to do quite well in stillwaters dont they my pb was from a stillwater for a while untill i had one bigger from the river that run along side
the pond where the fish probably come from in a flood.

now this may seem a little two faced seeing as the chub is also a "river" fish ,the chub seems to be able to reside quite well in sluggish/still
water and seems to tolerate lower oxygen levels better than what the barbels needs for oxygenated water are ,they thrive very well in slow moving parts of
rivers and even still waters as it proves with matt micalefs record fish from an oxfordshire stillwater ,however if it was possible i would like to see a
comparison between chub/barbel in rivers/stillwaters over a lengthy time to see exactly how they faired in each enviroment !!
my money would be on the fish in the rivers to come out best ,but i do have an opened mind and if it was to be proved that they both come out on equal terms or the stillwater fish faired better ,then so be it i would accept the fact that they are happy within there enviroment !! but i doubt it !! the ripper says !!!

It would be interesting to compare the growth rates of the big chub that are currently coming out of what are really carp waters, that just happen to have
chub. Given the very high levels of high protein food available how long do they live compared to river fish? As it is now known that feeding coarse fish over
a long period with high protein baits can cause damage to the fish's' organs and subsequently shorten their lives, are we as anglers subjecting these
fish to conditions that if applied to other creatures, and humans, would be classed as abuse and cruelty...just a thought.

fair comment there john
these chub came out of a stillwater where they had been for about 6 yrs ,there was a good head of both small and larger chub in the water , all were in pristine condition and fighting fit , the problem was they had done to well in there,and breed very well .to to be fair . and hence the stillwater was overstocked ,by taking out some of the smaller fish up to a pound plus . this should help the water regain a balance . i have a rough idea on the sizes of the chub stocked in our lake and i will be keeping an eye on the growth rate and condition over the next few years ,then maybe we will have something to compare against . breamking

hi all, my view is if the fish seem healthy enough what harm can it do. but remember chub are a predetor fish of sorts.

I personally don't agree with it as I believe that chub should live in their native surroundings of a river. I have no objections to chub being released in
stretches of rivers where stocks are low or non existent but I really do feel that river fish belong in the river.
I also feel that stocking chub in lakes has now made a mockery of the chub record as the record chub are being caught from lakes whilst in the close season and full of spawn, a time when you are unable to fish the rivers and compete with these specimens. |
