Dace (Leuciscus Leuciscus), is a greedy fish. Dace can be easily caught with regular feeding and light float tactics with only the requirement of small hooks (size 20). As mentioned above, dace will feed on most if not all baits it’s presented with and will feed at any water levels. Using a light tackle and a mainline around 3lb paired with a lighter hook, a size 18 usually does the job for most catches. Common tactics used are using a ledger or a floater whilst using ground baits. However, Trotting is a standard method used as it works well for dace fishing. This is done by running the float along with the current and mending the line to keep the float well-positioned, followed by leaving the bail arm of the reel open then releasing the line with one finger gently pressing on the edge of the spool. Once a bite is felt, waiting a bit before winding back will guarantee the catch. Dace are particularly fast on their bites which can take some time to get used to. Once caught out of the water, they will wriggle heavily; they are considered an easy and consistent catch once caught. To release them gently, holding the dace whilst grabbing the hook and turning it slowly works well. Dace are small fish but very resistant and can be released in any sea, though it is always recommended to release them where they were found.
