DACE. 



The Dace is a lively brisk little fish, and 

 affords much amusement in catching him, par- 

 ticularly with very small flies, which he will 

 rise at from May to October. They like the 

 rapid streams, along the sides of them, and in 

 the middle, they may be seen in shoals. The 

 vicinity of Eichmond is a very good place to 

 go for a day's Dace fishing with the fly. They 

 haunt the same places as the Eoach, are taken 

 with the same baits, and angled for near the 

 bottom. Hooks No. 12 or 13. 



CAKP. 



It is a very difficult matter to catch Cai'p 

 with the bait, as they are most cunning fish to 

 detect at once the deception, and swim away 

 on the least sight of the rod or the shadow of 

 the fisherman. The Carp haunt the deep parts 

 of gently running streams, and those caught 

 in rivers are the best ; those that are very nu- 

 merous in ponds are lean and soft in the flesh.
