DACE. 



The dace is found in most rivers, prin- 

 cipally in still waters that have a gravelly 

 or sandy bottom. It spawns in March 

 or April. 



The baits are small red worms, maggots, 

 wasp grubs, greaves, and paste made of 

 cheese and honey; it will take maggots 

 freely after the river has been disturbed by 

 rain. The line must be fine, and the bot- 

 tom of gut, or single hair. For maggots 

 use a hook No. 9 ; for other baits use a 

 larger.
