Leuciscus leuciscus - Dace

Dace

Dace, once known as dart because of their speed, are found in many of the eastern rivers of Wales, including the Wye and the Monnow. They are shoal fish and often feed at the surface, taking flies and small beetles.

Dace rarely grow to exceed a pound; a fish of half that size is considered a good catch. The spawning season for dace is generally between March and May. They can hybridise with rudd and with bleak, and this can make identification rather difficult.
