i believe they are orfe with no colour pigments in their skin. So like you get golden and blues you can also get colourless ide...i think

Ide, orfe, same species.

Yep, Chris Plumb is spot on. The golden jobbies are just an ornamental strain.

 

The Ide has always struck me as somewhat of a 'Super Dace'. They're from the same family as Chub and Dace and another fish we must of only just missed out on with the end of the last Ice Age.

I assume it's the Calder your on about?

 

There are quite a few in there, they seemed to like the gravel run that was built near the Corn Mill, and thrived.

 

When I first caught one it reminded me of some sort of roach/chub cross, and fought like a demon.

I've only had them to about 1 1/2 lb, but seen them much bigger in there.

 

I think they came in with a restocking of roach, about 10-15 yrs ago.

I've had them to 3lb from my local fishery and there are bigger in there. The inexperienced can and do confuse them with roach (and get excited when caught at that size ), although the tail/dorsal fin colour and larger mouth give them away.

Ide/orfe is common here in holland on the bigger rivers

i catch them with a floating crust of bread or with small plugs and spinners

[chesters1]

they are supposed to have more tolerance to cold water so may bite when others dont?
