swim. In this mode of fishing it is not advisable to bait 
any one swim beforehand, as Chub are shy fish, and it is 
seldom that more than two or three can be taken out of 
the same place without scaring the rest : consequently it 
is better to move from place to place, throwing in a 
small quantity of ground bait at each. By this mode of 
fishing the largest Chub are to be taken ; and when used 
by skilful hands, I have known a punt-well to be half 
filled with fish. 
The Chub is sometimes locally called the “ Chevin.” 
It is the Pencz, or Cochgangen, of Wales, and the Skelly 
of Scotland.
