HungNtree,
Where and when is the next meeting of the Middle TN chapter of CCU? I should have been a charter member. (And not to brag or anything, but I bet my smallest is smaller than your smallest...)

I definately deserve membership, I should change my name to Lefty Chub
EdD,
Between the 2 of us, we've got enough votes to vote you in as vice president if you want. We better hurry though, I had no idea the mighty creek chub was so popular. lol

hungNtree,
I would be delighted to server as VP of CCU. If you want some really primo, trophy-tiny chub, let me know. I've got a couple of secret spots where i can put you onto some 1 1/5 or even 1 1/4 " fish, on a dry, if you've got the sort of gear that can handle it. I need to check out my secret hot spots because I haven't done a good, long trip since The Flood. BTW, think the tiniest dry midges in standard colors (black, white, grizzly, blue dun, and peacock herl).
Ed, who needs to take a picture.
Instead of signing up, I think you have to be able to honestly say, that at least once in your fly fishing career, you had to duck to keep from getting slapped in the face by a creek chub in the middle of your back cast. Of course, I have also started a roll cast, only to find a creek chub had already taken the fly, needless to say, it didn't cast very far. lolQuote:

opps wrong thread
( I think you have to be able to honestly say, that at least once in your fly fishing career, you had to duck to keep from getting slapped in the face by a creek chub in the middle of your back cast.) Now that's funny

I think that in the spirit of inclusiveness that fallfish (Fallfish Unlimited is a non-starter), stoneroller minnows, and horneyheads should be allowed to count too. But I'm can't make an official policy statement without approval from HNT.
I do think that we should exclude sunfish from membership eligibility, and of course, brook trout are right out... (Mind you that catching a creek chub in a stream full of stunted brookies is a feat worthy of bragging.)
Ed
Yes, it is. (Semotilus atromaculatus -- I had to look that part up). IIRC, it's bigger than the river chub (go figure) and smaller than a fallfish (all are chubs).Quote:
