Ledgering For Chub On Norfolks River Wensum

After a rather disastrous mornings Perch fishing we changed tackle and tactics and headed down our local River Wensum to see if we could catch a Chub or two.

The area we chose to fish was the Lenwade Bridge Pub stretch, opting to fish roving tactics; the plan was to travel light and drop into any likely looking ‘Chubby’ areas, giving each one 15-20 minutes to see if they would produce a fish.

The set up was simple, a standard running ledger rig with a 1.5oz Korda Grippa Lead and a small, strong size 8 hook. The hook bait was two Dynamite Baits Source Boilies, hair rigged and wrapped in some Sticky Baits Krill Paste.

After a short walk down to the end of the stretch, we reached the bridge and dropped in the first swim, I guess we were hopeful more than confident of landing a fish on camera, but we knew we had to be in it, to win it....

To see how the session panned out and to see if we succeed, check out the video below…
