I had an early start last Saturday as I had planned another chub session.
The season so far for chub was not good, lots of rain usually made fishing for them useless.
With a dry day and some sun in the forecast I gave it another shot.

On Friday the weather changed from a quite fresh and windy morning to a warm and muggy afternoon.  All that moisture moving in had an effect on the weather this Saturday, fog.
Conditions not good for spotting chub when I arrived at the first spot I visited.

I could barely make out one larger chub but it just would not take the sedge I tossed.
At times it looked like the fish was interested but veered off every time.
The only fish I got was a tiny bleak that was brave enough to pick the sedge of the surface.
I had hoped the sun would clear out the fog and upcoming wind would blow away the moisture but it did not happen.

Time to move, the second spot had a lot of fish moving about.
By now the fog had lifted but clouds blocked the sunlight so spotting fish was not that easy.
I managed to catch a few fish on the sedge and even some on the nymph.
The racket though caused by catching these fish caused action to die down quickly.

The third spot of the day was a longer stretch of the stream where sometimes
chub would travel in groups. 
These fish where very wary and most of the time eluded me.
I spotted several large fish but most bolted as they noticed me first.

At one location a group of four to five large fish more or less stayed stationary in a riffle.
I had some good shots at them with a sedge and mayfly pattern but they just would not
come to the surface to pick the fly up.

At a bend in the stream I finally had a real interested fish and I watched the moment that
big chub mouth opened to suck in the fly.
Just at that moment, the fly started dragging and that put the fish off.

I finished the day at the spot I started the day.
With the sun now full out I figured conditions had to be better.
I spotted indeed more fish but every time I dropped the fly to chub would move away.
Not a good day thus for chub fishing it seemed.

After tossing several flies at a real large stationary fish I called it a day.
The sun was getting at a low angle so spotting fish was almost impossible.
At least I had caught a few fish so all was good.
Leaves where falling … the water was getting clear so fall is definitely around the corner.
