The male, meanwhile, would go sweeping down the lake to the trout pools at the outlet, where the big chub lived, in search of better fishing grounds.
As they wheeled in over me on their way down the lake, one of the youngsters caught the gleam of my pile of chub among the rocks.
When the fishermen hove into sight, and their eager pipings came faintly up the lake ahead of them, I paddled hastily out and turned loose a half-dozen chub in the shallow water.
She wheeled slowly over the shallows, noting the fish there, where they plainly did not belong, and dropping to examine with suspicion one big chub that was floating, belly up, on the water.
She knows that the little ones are not yet tired, only hungry; and that there is much to teach them before the chub stop shoaling and fishhawks must be off to the coast.
Chub Tuttle passed on the opposite side of the way, and, ceasing to hum as he trudged serenely homeward, began to whistle not unmelodiously.
Nelson showed them in a moment by placing Roy Hooker, one of the spare pitchers, at third, and sending Chub Tuttle to fill center field.
That's right," said Chub Tuttle, gulping down a mouthful of half-chewed peanuts.
Chub had never been a hitter, but he did succeed in rolling a weak one to Leach, who threw him out.
I amused myself in fishing and caught a few small fish; they were of the species of white chub mentioned below the falls, tho they are small and few in number.
I cannot deny that years ago I used to get plumpchub in the Government drain, and one year some carp weighing five pounds and over came up with the spring flood, but it is long since I have seen anything bigger than a minnow.
I examined them and was forced to admit that he had eight as fine chub as I had ever seen taken in this district.
Semotilus atromaculatus# (Mitchill) Creek Chub The creek chub was taken only at the upper stations on both rivers.
Of these, only the creek chub was restricted to upland tributaries on the east side of Grand (Neosho) River.
Mrs. Chub was so sagacious, Such a patron of the arts, And she gave such foreign orders That she won all foreign hearts.
When Mrs. Chub departed, Our brains began to rack,-- She could not be mistaken For the name was on the back.
Mrs. Chub was rich and portly, Mrs. Chub was very grand, Mrs. Chub was always reckoned A lady in the land.
Mrs. Chub was always talking, When she went away from home, Of a most prodigious painting Which had just arrived from Rome.
Well, not a quarter of an hour had passed when the little man caught another chuband another almost immediately, and another five minutes later.
We had only been there about five minutes when our male neighbor's float began to go down two or three times, and then he pulled out a chub as thick as my thigh, rather less, perhaps, but nearly as big!
At the place where the river left the lake I used almost to fill a boat with large chub and a few good trout; in the lake I made a few fair catches of a dozen or more fish about 1-1/2lb.
It is a large-mouthed fish greatly resembling the chuband attaining about the same size.
The chub is very common, and will take the fly, but is regarded as vermin, being very poor eating; it runs up to 4lb.
Both chub and squaw fish are great devourers of fry.
Jack stumbled on the wooden rim of the track and, while he saved himself from falling, gave Chub his chance, and in another second the latter youth was through the gate and lying with tossing arms on the lawn.
It was all well enough for Chub and Jack to stand there and grin at him, he reflected sadly; they hadn't lost a priceless crimson sweater and weren't on inner bounds.
And Chubslipped out of bed and scampered downstairs again.
It seemed to Roy that Chub let up on the pace a little, but it may have been only that it was easier going here along the edge of the field.
Chub climbed to the summit of the ledge and announced that there was light away down on the horizon toward the east.
But Roy couldn't know this, and so he was rather unresponsive through it all and held himself aloof from all save Chub and Jack Rogers and Tom Forrest.
As he reached the fence back of the athletic field Chub jumped into the road a few rods above and hurried toward him.
Chub told him that if he'd run the last part of the race backwards he might finish--some day.
Instead, he crossed over to the gymnasium in the hope of finding Chub there.
Unfortunately one section seemed to be missing, and putting the thing together was, as Chub said, like joining one of those geographical puzzles.
Consequently, when the school observed that Chub had selected Roy for a friend it marvelled for a few days and then began to wonder whether there might not be, after all, extenuating circumstances in the new boy's favor.
Whereupon Chub tried to catch him and Sid led him a wild chase through the crowd, finally seeking protection behind Roy.
Only her squeal was the same when, as of yore, she flopped a glistening chub on the bank, and another and another.
Her cork bobbed, sank, and when, with closed eyes, she jerked with all her might, a big shining chub rose from the water and landed on the bank beside her.
When Sile Crane andChub Tuttle attempted to follow them as they turned down the street Fred whirled and almost snarled: “What do you fellows want?
But now a new difficulty arose-- the chub could be got into the basket, but how about a pike two feet six inches long?
Still, though there was no pike, there was plenty else to be seen, for the fish were rising all over the river; and out in the bright calm places great chub were lazily basking in the warm sun.
The long green and brown water-weeds swayed softly in the faint current, with here and there a silvery young chub or an olive-brown sucker feeding lazily among them.
Chub likewise looked pale and heavy-eyed, and a single glance was sufficient to let each lad know what the other had passed through.
An hour later Chipper was puttering about in the woodshed when he heard a footstep and looked up to discover Chub Tuttle shivering in a turtleneck sweater outside the open door.
Chub Tuttle snorted, clapping a hand to his mouth to check the spray of half-munched peanuts which flew from his lips.
White around the mouth, Chub Tuttle slowly rolled his eyes in Grant’s direction.
It can’t be possible,” saidChub Tuttle, “that a fellow who has scalped schoolmasters and tickled Injuns to death is afraid of a harmless skeleton.
No more fun on the lake for us,” moaned Chub Tuttle, standing more than ankle deep outside the academy as the scholars came trooping forth.
In fishing for chub you must be as careful about showing yourself as you would be in trying for a trout, for he is very quick in spotting anything unusual, and once he has done this, you may offer him the most tempting flies unavailingly.
The Chub always liking their fly tied large, the Dace and Roach preferring theirs small.
The chub I found to rise earlier in the day in this little Sussex stream than either dace or roach, the two last on the warm August evenings often rising freely as long as we could see to cast for them.
For chub I found a larger fly effective, and a Coachman and a Red Palmer, both tied large, were what I generally used.
The former will take a fly very readily, and give very good sport for their size, while chub are as shy as trout and as difficult to catch, if once they obtain a sight of their antagonist on the bank.
The sun dropped low in the west, and presently Chub Leroy, who built the city of Alexandria ten years before, came slowly along in the shadow of the maples, and St. Agnes Macree was with him.
Maybe Mr. Cummings is a deader," said Chub Leroy, thoughtfully.
And Chub Leroy cried out in despair: "Look out, Bobby!
I went out over the road on a long limb with Moses Durfey and Chub Leroy, seeing Mr. Cummings driving a load of hay down from the Cattle Ridge: it seemed desirable to drop on the hay when it passed beneath.
Afterward we grew up, and became too old to dabble and make beautiful things of gray clay, except Chub Leroy, who is still doing something of that kind, cutting and building with clay and stone.
That light in the south is Hamilton," said Chub Leroy.
We drew close beside them now and sat on the bank, Moses and I by Aaron, Chub Leroy by Silvia.
Chub carried the urn, which had once been a pickle-jar.
And," saidChub Leroy, "we'll keep his ashes in an urn.
When the Chub seizes a bait, it bites so eagerly that its jaws are often heard to chop like those of a dog.
Chub and Welcome got out in front of their home, and stood for a moment beside the car.
Every circumstance Chub had mentioned was but another coil about the unfortunate Clip.
Then, while Chub stared into the receding distance, the sharp detonation of the crash reached his ears.
In order to get away, Matt ate less breakfast than usual, and hustled Chub up to his room.
He swore roundly as he dragged Chub to the cab and jammed him back through the window.
He and Chub went out, and Chub heaved a long breath as they went down the court-house steps.
Leaving Chub at the Briggs House, he hunted up his friend Sheriff Burke.
They were well into the hills before Matt told Chub about the second letter, and showed it to him.
While he and Chub were eating their breakfast Matt questioned Mrs. Spooner more at length regarding the Mexican who had brought the letter.
But we can work better if Chub knows as much as I do.
On his left were Chub McReady and Tom Clipperton, sitting sideways and wedged into their places like sardines in a can.
Matt was completely engulfed in the smoke, and Chub could not see him; but Chub saw something else that made his heart stand still and sent a sickening fear through every limb.
You ain't got no call ter sot down on me, Chub McReady, if I want to talk.
As he andChub left their room and walked out into the office the clerk handed Matt a telegram.
We jogged along happily, if slowly, for I must explain to you that Chub is quite the laziest horse in the State, and Bill, his partner, is so old he stands like a bulldog.
We jogged along right merrily, Mrs. Louderer devoting her entire attention to trying to make Chub pull even with Bismarck, Jerrine and myself enjoying the ever-changing views.
That having been settled, the license was sent for by mail, and as soon as it came Mr. Stewart saddled Chub and went down to the house of Mr. Pearson, the justice of the peace and a friend of long standing.
Food The flathead chub is chiefly carnivorous, but its food includes some aquatic vegetation (Table 1).
The flathead chub is unknown in the Mississippi Basin above the mouth of the Missouri River, and in the Ohio River Basin above its mouth.
Kansas and Missouri, and may provide interspecific competition that prevents establishment of the flathead chub in these creeks.
The flathead chubis found in silty water and often is the predominant species in streams that have high turbidity.
It might be all right, but it sure was strange, he told himself, that Chub belonged here at Rodway's when Harry Conroy claimed that he was an Oregon horse.
He hurried his steps, dragging Chub out of the beginnings of a dream.
It took Chub just five minutes to demonstrate that he knew what he was about.
I see you've got Conroy's Chub yet," Pink observed carelessly.
Chub lifted an ear dispiritedly when his name was spoken; but, as was usually the case, he heard no good of himself, and dropped his head again.
The man I got Chub from went north, and I heard he got killed.
It seemed to him, after long listening, that from the right came faint reply, and he turned and rode recklessly, swearing at Chub for his slowness.
Dixie, scenting human habitation, stepped out more briskly through the snow, and even Chub lifted an ear briefly to show he heard.
More than once Rowdy was urged by his aching arm to drop the lead-rope and leave Chub to shift by himself, but habit was strong and his heart was soft.
Eagle Creek coughed apologetically, and said no word, while Rowdy led Chub back to the cabin which he had pointed out as the bunk-house; he stood by while Rowdy loosened the pack and dragged it inside.
Rowdy gave an exultant little whoop and made for the gate, leaned and swung it open and rode through, dragging Chub after him by main strength, as usual.
But Chub was a handicap at any time; now, when he was tired, there was no getting anything like speed out of him; he clung to his shuffling trot, which was really no better than a walk.
Then he felt an odd twitching at the lead-rope, as if Chubwere minded to rebel against their leadership.
Her eyes followed his movement with a very evident interest while he unbuckled the pack Chub had carried since sunrise and drew out a blanket.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "chub" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
