Return to John Wilson's swim provides 6lb 12oz chub - John Davey

“I hadn’t been chub fishing for ages so I headed to this swim on the Waveney where I fished with angling legend John Wilson probably 60 years ago. 

I was pleased to see that it hadn’t changed much over the years and the area of slack water was still there. 

My approach hadn’t changed much either and I plopped a cheesepaste hookbait into the slack water on a link leger.

My bait wasn’t in the water five minutes when the tip arched round and I struck into a hard-fighting chub which bore hard for the near bank. 

I soon had her in the net – a wonderfully proportioned 6lb 12oz chub. I reckon John would’ve been proud.”
