Dace or Chub

Anyone confirm for me?

Looks like a dace to me - though can't see the anal fin for the 'classic' distinction - dace have concave anal fins - it is convex on chub.

 

 

Which still waters do you fish with dace in?

Not the best of photos for identification but it looks like a dace to me, intrigued as to the blue hue to the top scales near the dorsal. You don't have any bleak in that water do you?.

Christ, shows how bad my eyes are getting.... it looks more like a juvenile roach to me??

I was thinking the same Chris, I used to fish a small stream in N Yorks, and used to get two shapes of roach. One looked just like the one in the photo, while the other was a deeper fish more like the normal shape.

I thought it was the dorsal fin that was concave on the dace? Dace are not so prolific as they were a few years ago, got to be the result of the 'Black Death' taking them I suppose

I think that's a Roach. It's a bit too orangey in the fins and eyes.....no?
