- As we've mentioned in previous videos, small species, in particular large versions of small species, rank very highly in our prized fish list, and the Dace is one of these small species that we love to target, especially when there is the chance of a proper specimen.
In this latest episode of Angling 360, we target the 'Silver Dart' on a Scottish river that is renowned to hold huge Dace; perhaps even a Scottish, if not British record shaking fish.
This was never planned to be a long session, but more of a recce to a new river in an attempt to suss out the potential, and as it turned out, this is a river we will definitely be returning to... Hopefully with sharper reflexes.
River ribble has potential, i had a dace take 2 8mm pellets on a size 8 fishing for barbel! Forgot the scales but it was bigger than my pb of 1lb 1oz from the upper witham! Ive seen a few pound fish to . Great video again 👍
Loch Ken is another good water for Dace, had some nice ones out of there but as you've seen, you've got to be quick.
Great to see Alex getting his mojo back but must admit it did crack me up seeing him rather piss*d off as it's how I've felt last year fishing 😂 but we just keep getting back out
Great point Gordon.....you are doing it right in terms of pleasure fishing...pleasure being the operative....
Thanks mate 🤝🏻
Great little fish the dace as you say lightening fast bites..love hitting them on a trotted float or even a dry fly. Long time since I fished there.
Hey big G, haha thats what i was thinking Pal lol. Get the pike rod out now as that river has some monster Pike in it.
Great video as usual guys well enjoyed it to say the least. Tight lines and all the best Pete.

Between fishing editing and looking after a allotment to so hat off for you mate

Team work males the dream work n awe that.
Loved this one, the dace is always a pleasure to catch.
Cheers George. Really appreciate all your kind words boss.
Unfortunately the dace have ruined what was once a great river for roach and perch. The pike have also been decimated by the fishmongers so that's allowed a population explosion of dace with very few predators to keep them in check. Also, as you found out, they are difficult to catch, so even the fishmongers aren't keeping them under control. Flounder was a nice bonus. The river is tidal up to near where you were.
Whip fishing ideal.
Better dace just down stream from where you were,my and my mate had 24 pounds of dace in 3 hours, all on the waggler.
