Black Nose Dace Fly (Streamer):
The Black Nose Dace Fly is tied to imitate the Black Nose Dace minnow. This
minnow is identified by its black band that runs laterally from its nose to its tail on
both sides of the minnow. It is found just about everywhere from the East coast
westward to the Dakotas and south to Texas and Florida. It is mostly found in
small rocky streams with a gravel bottom and fairly fast moving water. Fully
grown, they are about two and a half inches long. These small minnow are eaten
by trout, smallmouth and largemouth bass, pike and many other gamefish.
The best way to fish it, it to present it in the shallow water around the banks or in
shallow water pockets within the stream. These minnow are generally not found
in deep water although they may be. Most of the time the game fish will run into
shallow water and eat them and then go back to their deeper water sanctuaries.
We suggest you vary the retrieve using short, erratic strips as well as longer,
slow swimming motions. These minnow dart about in the water, and that is what
you want to imitate. They rarely just swim slowly along. Stop the retrieve for a few
seconds and then strip it just enough to make the fly dart a few inches. It works
best early and late in the day especially if the water is very clear. It is also good
during times of heavy overcast skies.
