Default River Dove Valentines day massacre lol

as u know i was looking for some hints and tips on the Dove and got some excellent advice... was there for half 8 this morning to find it bitterly cold ! yet undetered from the journey i spoke to a guy who said some nice chub were caught down towards the weir area and by the big tree in the field.. (great... what tree and what field hahaha) so off i went...

so off i went over the little bridge.. and downstream through a field full of crazy horses who were determined to eat what ever bait they could get their teeth on and set off on the walk.. (longer than i thought) hopped the fence and went about making my way down river... saw the most obvious big tree in the field so thought i would drop in slightly above it and let the bait wander downstream should none be picked up by any fish.. with the rod already made up (2 swan shot chubber float, 5lb line and 16hook to 2.6lb bottom) i set the depth at roughly 4-5ft and played it by ear.. bang.. the double red maggot was taken by a fish.. 1st trot down too sweeeeeet !

1 x grayling of about 10oz safely in the net.. chuffed to bits! 2nd trot down.. got bust to pieces by a zoo monster.. either a big dog chub, a pike or barbel. that pretty much set the tone.. i flitted between the 3 swims around the big tree... trotting maggots bought me 8 grayling to 1lb 3oz, and 2 trout to 3lb. i then decieded to puton some breadflake and see what happens.. bingo.. trotting the slower water downstream of the big tree resulted in 7 chub all over 2lb and the two biggest going 2lb 10oz... got bust again by another zoo creature but was well chuffed with the first (and most definitley not the last) on the Dove closing (was gettin dark) i packed up and headed for home!

here are a few pics of the chub and the pesky trout lol

That sounds a good days fishing Chesh, I've personally not fished a river in years, I think I'm missing out on some good sport here.

16 to 2.6 bottom,whatever, if it's a ready tied rig, they're a bit hard to come by these days.
