The Dace is a shoaling fish, that swim at most levels and prefer shallow streams. They are also found in still waters and canals. They are sometimes mistaken for small Chub, the main difference being the anal fin on a Dace is concaved, whereas the Chub's anal fin is convex.
They are a very popular fish with match anglers due to the fact they shoal in such large quantities. They will take maggots, casters, bread and worms but pinkies work best. Your tackle needs to be very light and you need fast reflexes due their lightning fast bites.
