Thanks to Reading angler Mark Erdwin for this fine picture of a very fat Chub from the River Loddon, which weighed in at 6lb, caught with another specimen of 5lb 8oz.

Mark adopted roving tactics on the river during the last week of the season, with a quivertip & link ledger approach on 6lb mainline through to a size 14 Super Specialist hook baited with a very small piece of his own Blue Cheese & Garlic Paste.  Mark had prepared a series of swims with a mixture of liquidized bread laced with Krill Meal beforehand so that the Chub were ready for his hookbait.
