I first came across Dace Road some years ago, while driving, when I turned into it so I could go back on myself.
Then finding, courtesy of an internet search, that it was one of ten on an estate that bore the names of fish, I thought recently that it would make a good blog entry.
So, in the area for fishing, I took a drive around the estate itself and you can see the results of that via the short video (less than a minute) below.
Hello, Peter. That’s certainly a great name and indeed our rarest fish.
Nice website. Some good fish in the loch as well, by the looks of it.
Thanks for your kind words, very much appreciated.
Hi Stewart, My uncle lived in a bungalow at 3, Vendace Drive , Lochmaben, DG11 1QN, The vendace is said to be the UK’s rarest fish and is now extinct in Mill Loch . As my uncle’s garden backed on to the loch I went spinning and caught some nice perch back in 1991. I don’t find the time to fish much these days but enjoy your blog. Tight lines, Peter
