How to fish for lake chub

Lake chub are a slender, wide-ranging minnow of cool and cold lakes and streams, one of the most northerly-distributed minnows on the continent. They aren't an angling target - they're a forage fish, an important prey item for trout, pike, and other predators, and a species sometimes used as bait. They tolerate a broad range of cool-water conditions. On a location page, lake chub are context about a water's forage base - a food source supporting predator growth rather than a species to fish for.
