DACE AND CHUB. 2/ 1 



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 Penci, or Cochgangen, of Wales, and the Skelly 

 of Scotland.
