Description
Chub (Squalius cephalus) is a species of popular freshwater game fish of the Carp family that is widespread throughout Europe. Commonly referred to in North America as the European Chub, these fish tend to be eager to bite and easy to catch. As a rule, Chub prefer to inhabit slow moving rivers and other waterways with little or no current. Silvery-grey in color, these fish can be recognized by their large black-edged scales and big mouths. Chub usually grow to a length of up to 60 cm (2 ft) and a weight of about 1.5 kg (3 lb), but it is possible to land a unique specimen of up to 4 kg (9 lb). Chub are voracious fish and prey primarily on insects, plants, and other fish.
