Chub and ide belong to the carp family, but they don't only eat plants: they take insects that fall into the water, small fish and other creatures. That is why they can be caught well on a spinning rod with small lures. They are wary fish, so what matters most is the size of the lure and keeping quiet by the water.<\/p>\n

Where to find chub and ide<\/h2>\n

Chub hold in river current, under trees overhanging the water, near bridges and behind obstacles where the current is weaker. Ide are more often found in calmer stretches of rivers, near weed and in the backwaters of larger rivers. Both fish often swim in small groups near the surface.<\/p>\n

When is the best time to fish<\/h2>\n

The best time is the warm season, especially summer, when these fish actively take insects that fall into the water. In the morning and evening they are bolder, and on a hot day it pays to look for them in the shade under trees.<\/p>\n

What size of lure to choose<\/h2>\n

Small lures of 2\u20135 cm and 1\u20135 g suit chub and ide. Lures that are too big are more likely to scare these fish than attract them. Big chub sometimes take slightly larger lures, but it is best to start small.<\/p>\n
