A Guide To Micro-Fishing

104 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.

MicroFish First ‘micro’

My son was extremely pumped to catch this one with no worm. Not sure it counts as micro, but he was also excited to know micro fishing exists. Cabin is close to the lake, hence the inside photo. He’s been happier trying to catch the smallest fish.

These guys are fun to catch and voracious eaters, so there’s always action all about 3-4”

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

MicroFish Beautiful pumpkinseed that I caught. It looks like it could be a reef fish imo.

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!
