A beautifully preserved chub, mounted in a traditional glass-fronted case with a painted green backdrop and naturalistic groundwork of reeds and grasses. This specimen was caught by Mr. T. Colley at Highley on the River Severn on August 11th, 1958, weighing 4 lbs. 5 ozs. The case features original period labels, including a printed note referencing the catch’s merit. The fish is skilfully mounted to highlight its natural shape and colouring, combining visual appeal with historical significance.

River Severn is a heavily fished stretch of river, where such a weight is considered a worthy achievement.
