[#0000ff]One of the reasons that chubs are so unpopular in Utah is that they eat the same food as trout...at least the hatchery pet rainbows. Thus, rainbows usually have a tough time competing with chubs and do not grow as fast. They either stunt or die out.
So...anything you might fish for trout will catch chubs. That includes bait, flies and lures. They will eat anything. Plain worms or a worm tipped jig will almost always catch chubs if they are around. The bobber routine works well during warmer months but the chubs go deeper under the ice. So standard ice fishing gear will work better.
