How to Catch Dace

1. Habits of dace. Dace is a bottom fish with low requirements for dissolved oxygen. It can adapt to more fertile water bodies and likes to live in groups. Its living habits are similar to those of crucian carp. It has a miscellaneous diet and mainly feeds on plants. It often licks attached organisms (such as green algae, diatoms, filamentous algae, etc.) on rocks and other objects at the bottom of the water with the keratin edge of its lower jaw, as well as the debris of higher plants, organic matter in the bottom humus and silt. It also likes to eat pig manure, cow manure and some commercial feeds, such as peanut bran and rice bran. It is mainly distributed in southern China, such as the Pearl River system, Hainan Island, Taiwan, Minjiang River, Lancang River and Yuanjiang River. It hibernates in deep water of the riverbed in winter.

2. Suitable season and time for dace fishing. In spring, you can go fishing from 8:00 to 18:00 during the day. If there is a drizzling spring rain, the dace will grab the bait very quickly. Hand-held fishing should adopt double hooks and hanging near the bottom or half-water fishing. In summer and autumn, you can go fishing from 6:00 to 10:00 in the morning and 16:00 to 19:00 in the afternoon. Dace rarely bites the hook before dawn or after dark. In summer, when the water color is slightly yellow after a heavy rain, fish in the half-water where a small amount of running water is injected, and dace often grabs the bait crazily. And you can fish all day. In winter, you should choose a sunny, warm and windless day for fishing. In the winter in South China, although there is no ice and snow, the temperature is generally around 5℃ to 15℃, but dace also reduces activity in winter and becomes more picky about eating.
