I love dace fishing especially if big ones are in the swim yet they take back seat with some anglers.
About 3years ago i had a catch of a lifetime on the Upper Swale taking a bumper catch on the stick with several over a pound the biggest 1lb 4oz.I also lost one at the net that would have taken the British record by far.My mate Ron Clay caught a huge dace from the Ryton many years ago and i myself have been back to the Swale but never ever came near to repeating the performance even though the shoal was over 400yds in length
I have also had good nets on the Idle Ryton Don Rother and the Blackwater in Ireland.
The tidal Thames used to produce massive nets so did the Wye so why dont we give the dace more credit
