River Avon Magical Shrinking Chub - Bradford-on-Avon Opening Day

The river fishing season is finally open again, and this time, instead of diving straight into my usual mini-species escapades, I’ve decided to change things up. I’m targeting the elusive Chub on the beautiful, free-to-fish stretch of the River Avon at Bradford-on-Avon. In the UK, the river close season gives fish a much-needed three-month break to spawn in peace—or so the theory goes. But I can't help wondering: did the Chub in Bradford-on-Avon get the memo? Adding to the challenge, the local council has shut down some of the best fishing spots, so the river isn’t quite the angling haven it once was. It’s a clear sign that it’s time to adapt, evolve, and try new tactics. The Chub do start showing up… but here’s the twist—they seem to be shrinking! Could this be the work of Harry Potter casting a cheeky charm from a riverside bush? Or is there something less magical and more natural happening to the Chub population? #Fishing #RiverAvon #Free Thank you for LIKING and SUBSCRIBING to my channel!
