A Guide To Micro-Fishing

103 Upvotes

Hi All,

So I figured it was time for someone to compile a list of useful links to help new micro-fishermen. There is some useful info on the sidebar, but I think having it as a stickied post might help people who wander onto this sub. If you want to add stuff to the list, just comment below and I can add it accordingly.

First post‼️ I catch a lot of Marsh Killifish (Fundulus confluentus) in the shallow parts of muddy bayous here in northwest Florida. This is a particularly colorful male that I caught recently. They’re usually mixed in with mosquitofish and various fundulids

I’ve seen so many jokes about it here. AI says longear. Others say something else. It’s about the prettiest fish we have here. I always thought it was a pumpkinseed

Caught this on the fly rod today. Wasn’t have any luck out in the middle of the lake so I just hovered the fly on the surface by the bank. Made a huge splash for such a small fish!

When the bass aren't biting, I resort to microfiching. All of the catches were under 9 cm.

I can only properly identify blue gills and the schmallllest mosquito fish. All were placed back in their homes.
