How to fish for silver chub
Silver chub are a pale, silvery minnow of larger rivers and the deeper water of big lakes, feeding on bottom invertebrates and tolerating gently-turbid conditions. They aren't an angling target - they're a forage fish, prey for walleye, sauger, and other predators of large-river and lake systems, and occasionally used as bait. On a location page, silver chub are context about the forage base of larger waters - a food source for predators rather than a species to fish for.
