How to fish for creek chub

Creek chub are one of the most common and hardy minnows of small streams and headwaters, a tough generalist that often dominates the fish community of tiny creeks where few other species persist. They're large enough that they're occasionally caught by young anglers on worms and are widely used as bait. They tolerate a broad range of conditions, so their presence says less about water quality than more sensitive species do. On a location page, creek chub are a dependable forage species - prey for bass, trout, and other predators, and a familiar catch in small water.
