Micro Fishing! How To Find And Catch Creek Chubs For Bait! 

Hello from sothern ontario! Man talking about small rods...Bait buckets...And night crawlers. You just got tought 😊 Man knows.

We have a smallish creek that runs through our property. Recently my son tried fishing it and found there's a large population of creek chubs. He was using small hooks and dough balls under a bobber. I had an idea to get out my fly rod and see if they'd hit that. Man... is that a blast! Those chubs are voracious and hit the fly hard. I'm planning to get a smaller 3 wt rod/reel that's better suited to small streams. Now my son wants to learn to cast a fly. If you've never fly fished, it's so much fun. I always targeted smallmouth or trout and occasionally caught a chub. I never thought fishing in a little bitty creek, specifically targeting chubs could be so fun.

I grew up hunting and fishing in the 80s and 90s. Back then there were still a few places that were privately owned by farmers but locals knew you could access it to hunt and fish. Just show up to the farmhouse and ask for the gate key. They didn’t have to know you! Few places like that left these days.

I always bring a plastic grocery bag with me when I wade or fish a creek and pick up cans and other trash along the way. If we all did that every time we go out, it wouldn't take long to make an impact. And to all those idiots who leave beer cans and empty bait containers on the banks, you should have your fishing license permanently revoked.

Your right all the folks that leave trash mess it up for them selves and us

This video sends more traffic to my channel than any other source lol

Cool video my friend. I'm a firm believer in getting permission. Here in Georgia you have to have written permission to hunt or fish on someone else's property. I believe in keeping it clean also. Great video.

Thanks for the info. And yes people need to clean up after themselves. Loose Mono can be dangerous. I hate seeing that laying around the bank.

What size hook? I had 20-30 of them attacking my salmon eggs but could not hook them...my daughter got one that is when we discovered they were creek chubs....please help!

Awesome video! Looks like a lot of fun just catching those guys, let alone whatever you could catch on them later.

Thanks for the video frank. I enjoy watching your videos. Let me know when you are ready to take a subscriber fishing for flatheads. Im from Richmond Indiana and im very interested in going fishing with you. Please let me know.

I cant stand ppl trashing up the banks. Everytime I go to the river, I take a fat bag of trash when I leave. Mostly gobbs of orange and lime green fishing line, beer cans, and nightcrawler containers. It's disgusting when ppl leave their garbage. It takes zero effort to be a decent human.

Great video Frank! Thanks

What are you using for bait?

Cool video and great tips

Beautiful scenery. People should go to jail for littering such a place.

AWESOME bait there!!!

Going after some creek chubs today and found your video. We are near Columbus Indiana. New sub here and looking forward to following your channel! Come check us out sometime.

Ship any “extra” creek chubs my way lol And yeah, people always ruin it for people 😑

We live in Indianapolis. And we have lost so many great hunting and fishing spots, because of the idiots that come in there illegally, without permission, and then they want to trash the place 🤬🤬🤬🤬. So we know exactly what you mean. Get permission, clean up your garbage, and leave it how you found it.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I need to find some chubs!!!!
