Black Nose Dace
North American bucktail streamer
TroutSubsurface
A Ray Bergman bucktail imitating the common blacknose dace minnow — a confidence streamer for brook trout in higher or stained water and pre-spawn autumn.
Fish this when
In higher, coloured spring water and during pre-spawn autumn — swing or strip it through pools and along undercut banks in larger streams.
Why it works
It matches the most widespread small minnow in eastern brook trout water; the brown-over-white bucktail comes alive on the swing.
