BIG FAT CHUB…if ever there was a fish to warm a freshwater angler’s heart, this is it. I’m not surprised to see one on the cover of the latest Improve Your Coarse Fishing (IYCF) – with the winter we’ve been having, many anglers have been kept from going insane by the obliging chub!
Improve Your Coarse Fishing magazine is Britain’s best selling fishing monthly. The magazine is dedicated to helping anglers put more fish in their net. Detailing the latest tactics from the nation’s top anglers, Improve Your Coarse Fishing arms you with the vital information you need to get the most from your fishing. Read, learn and celebrate the joy of angling.
