Des off with a bang with a 5lb 7oz chub

Our very own Des taylor was one of thousands of anglers out on the opening day of the season-and he certainly worked his magic.Des spent his first session on running water on his beloved River Severn at Coalport. The session produced loads of bites, and this mint-conditioned 5lb 70z chub fell for two 10mm TG Nash baits "Its's so good to be back on the rivers,"said Des."A bit of probating really did the trick. I hoped the fish would be feeding hard on the bodies and the plan worked out perfectly."
