CHUB. This fidi, v^'hich is very coarfe, and 
full of bones, frequents the deep holes of rivers; 
and, during the dimmer feafon, commonly lies on 
the furface of the water beneath the fliade of fome 
tree or bufli. It is very timid, darting to the bot- 
tom on the finalled alarm ; but it foon recovers it- 
felf, and refumes it's fituation. It feeds on worms, 
caterpillars, graflioppers, beetles, and other cole- 
opterous infedls which happen to fall into the water 5 
and, in cafes of necefllty, it even has recourfe to 
cray-fifli. 
The Chub derives it's nam.e from it's head, 
not only in the Englifli, but alfo in many other 
languages. It does not grow to any confiderable 
fize, feldom exceeding the weight of five pounds, 
though Salvianus mentions fome v/hich were eight 
or nine. The body is oblong, rather round, and 
nearly equal for a confiderable part of it's length. 
The fcales are large; the irides are filvery; the 
cheeks are of the fame colour; the head and back 
are of a deep dufl^y green ; the fides are filvery, 
though in fummer they afliime a yellow colour; 
the belly is white; the pefloral fins are of a pale 
yellow; the ventral and anal fins are red; and the 
tail is flightly forked, and of a brownidi tinge, but. 
fliaded v/ith blue at the extremity. 
The bed manner of fifliing for the Chub is to 
prepare a very drong rod of a fufficient length, 
with a grafliopper affixed to the hook; and to re- 
tire as far as poflible from the verge of the dream,, 
that the fifh may not be apprehenfive of any dan- 
ger; for, if the angler be concealed, the Chub fel- 
dom fails to take the bait: neverthelefs, cai-e mud 
be taken to play it fuffi.ciently^led, from the pow- 
erful exertions of the fifli, the tackle diould give 
way. In March and April, the Chub may be 
caught with large red worms; in June and July, 
v/ith flies, fnails, and cherries ; but in Auguft and 
September, with pounded cheefe mixed with a lit- 
tle faffron and butter. Some anglers make a pade 
of cheeie and Venice turpentine as a bait for the 
Chub in winter, at which feafon this fifli is fup- 
pofed to be in it's Iiighed perfedion, the bones be- 
ins
