A large percentage of fisherman hibernate during the winter months. Not me I try and look for opportunities year around. I hope this video encourages you to get out and try your luck at hunting creek chubs.
Just a little overview of the creek chubs caught today.
Red Spot Chub
Named for the distinct red spot located behind the adult’s eye, the redspot chub has an olive background color, a white belly and orange tinted fins. These fish can reach 8-10 inches in length.
This fish is limited to four states: Arkansas River Basin in southwestern Missouri, southeastern Kansas, northeastern Oklahoma and northwestern Arkansas. Red spot chub are restricted to creeks and small to medium rivers that have low silt loads and gravel bottoms.
They primarily feed on insects and their larvae, small crustaceans and other invertebrates.
