Tackle, baits, spots and seasons — a full guide to catching Dace.

The bite is strong — fish are active. Pressure is dropping — this usually boosts the bite.
Best time — 12:00–15:00 and 16:00–17:00 (daytime activity).
Pick a stretch of steady current, chum one spot and fish it — don't move around without reason.
Today's bait — maggot or small hook with dough bait. In cold or murky water, add scent to your chum.
No special gear needed — seasonal clothing will do. Rain is expected — don't forget a rain jacket or a waterproof shell.
Worth going — it's a productive day.
The computed water temperature is around 14 °C — inside the 8–20 °C comfort range for Dace, so baseline activity is high.
Dace feeds by day — between sunrise and sunset; their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is rising 5 hPa over the day — the bite usually settles down after a rise.
September is peak season for Dace here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Cloudy · feels like +11°
The day is 5 min shorter than yesterday.
Sunshine hours count direct sun only — cloud cover cuts it, so it is shorter than daylight.
The windows are set by the moon's transit and rise, and the forecast above already accounts for them: within these hours the bite score sits higher than across the rest of the day, while the day's overall level still comes from the catch-calibrated model.
