Halibut Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Congratulations - good one, looks like a really healthy fish. I'm no expert, but that looks like 2lbs easily to me bar an ounce or two either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man.. i read on here stevenson rd other week tried to get from the bridge down 5 weirs walk but the gate was locked. as i was only passing i didnt drive down stevenson rd to see how you access that strech, so how would i get on there and where would be a good place to leave the car??? thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chidorii Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 well done, and a beautiful chub it is too! Because they are so deep, I'd say that fella is easy 2lb too. I had a few at 4lb and a tad over at the end of last year, lovely fish, a good one to target at anytime! Here's one that I weighed at 4lb1oz, apologies for the pic, I had to rest my camera on the the ground haha! He was cylindrical. http://i1352.photobucket.com/albums/q658/kkthxbyeJD/chub4lb1oz_zpsdf65c716.jpg And don't forget my river friends, just a couple of weeks until close season, so it's a good idea to get a trip or two planned in!
