Drennan’s Ian Brooker: His Purple Patch Continues!

Jack Reid

Drennan’s Ian Brooker has continued his purple patch with yet another specimen fish – this time a 6lb 14oz Chub!

Drennan’s Ian Brooker managed to time his first Chub session of the season with the River Thames briefly dropping within its banks.

Ian managed to time his first Chub session of the season with the River Thames briefly dropping within its banks.  Fishing for just a couple of hours after dusk with the river still pushing through he decided to fish just a rod length out in a big slack that produced just one bite; but he wasn’t complaining when this 6lb 14oz Chub picked up his paste-wrapped boilie hookbait!

The fish was tamed on 8lb Supplex mainline and a running rig with a 6lb Fluorocarbon Flyleader hooklength and a size 10 Kamasan Barbel Maxx hook.
