I finally found some motivation to visit the chub section.
First stop was along en route to the places I wanted to fish.
Water clarity was pretty poor despite the low water level, nothing to be had.

At the first major bridge I crossed I peeked down hoping to see any fish moving
but again low visibility and no fish.
So I continued straight to the feeder streamer where the fish kills happened to see if the
spill upstream had effected the fish at the stretch I fished.

At the feeder stream you could see how low the water actually was, just inches of water.
I caught some small chub but soon was on the road again looking for greener pastures.
The next hotspot was near a bridge were you could usually see lots of fish.
A peak from the bridge showed some very big chub moving about.

When I tried fishing from the bank the big chub submerged, again spotted.
My last hope for the big one was an open stretch with a mixed bottom of
sand and weeds. Tricky to get any fish but usually big ones present in numbers.
There where big fish around but the combination of high banks, small and shallow stream did not

A change from sedge to hopper did the trick in the end.
I finally found a proper chub on feeding station in the surface.
That fish took the hopper with gusto from the surface and I could actually land it.
It was midday, terribly hot so I called it a day and rested at a pub enjoying a few cold ones.
