MAINE - Life in the Slow Lane
That was a chubb ? Holly crap !!!! Hey Bill how close to the nuclear power plant is that lake ? 
I have to agree if there was a master chubb club that would be the winner.
Thats a fine Chubb Bill!!
All here is the beast of a fish.
Bill I have seen chubbs in the Rapid River that are twice that size, there is one pool that has been called Chubb Pool because they are always there in warmer wheather.
A buddy of mine one day was fishing the pool and a couple of green horns were watching as he caught many of these chubbs and he made sure they did not see them, made believe they were big trout and released them. Was a very funny situation to say the least.

Dave, as for nuclear power plants we've only got one, Point Lepreau and Harvey lake is quite a ways away. Yes I remember catching some mighty fine walleye right in the outflow from 'AECL Chalk River', on the Mighty Ottawa River, Ontario. The shallower portions of Harvey lake are infested with chubb and has been for a long time as the log book mentions people catching alot of them as far back as the 50's. Anyway makes for great fun for the kids, last year I think that Kylie broke the 300 mark for that summer. She is also branching out into fly fishing for them although nothing beats a worm or bread moulded into a tight ball in your hand. I can remember as a kid staying there with my Grandparents an swimming with a $2.00 mask and snorkel. My fishing outfit included a 3 foot piece of white string, the kind that they used to tie up meat in paper at the butcher shop with and a hook. I'd dive down and hammer clam shells apart and put part of it on my hook I could then watch underwater as the chubb bit the hook, worked good for hook sets. The other fish that isn't in short supply is yellow perch. We fish for them in the deep hole at the other end of the lake, last year my youngest daughter Kelby caught a 13 inch yellow perch. The bigger ones that you catch out of deep water have very few worms and are very tasty when fried up in fish crisp. Not many people eat yellow perch here in the east but in Ontario they seem to like them. When I was growing up both the chubb and yellow perch were "trash fish" according to my Father and were to be chucked into the bushes so they wouldn't compete with the trout. I tried doing that last year on what used to be a good trout stream and my daughter retrieved the fish out of the bushes and released it. So I guess that we're letting all them go unless they're destined for the frying pan.

Sounds like allot of fun Bill , Good clean fun for the kids. Them are some big chubbs. Bigger then most my trout
Guys, take a look at my album and check out the Master Angler Chubb that my daughter caught a few years ago. Well if there was a master angler award given out for chubb that one would have taken it. I think that it was 13 inches and had already broken her off once before. No wonder the chubb grow so fat in harvey lake with hatches of may flies like that.
