British Record Chub - 8lb 13oz - Dobb's Weir, Hertfordshire
On the evening of Tuesday 11th March 2003, a new British Freshwater Fish Record Was Smashed at Lea Valley Angling's Dobb's Weir Fishery by Tim Archer from Hemel Hempstead. Tim Landed the huge 8lb 13oz Chub from the weir-pool just as everyone was packing up (just after dark). This beats the previous record which had stood for 8 years by 3oz. Tims fish was witnessed and weighed on two sets of scales, one set had the fish at the claimed 8lb 13oz the other set had the fish at 9lb!!!
Featured Fishery - Holwell Hyde - Welwyn Garden City
Holwell Hyde is predominantly a Carp lake although there are also very healthy levels of match fish present.
The lake is about 3 acres in size and averages out at about 6 foot deep.
