This is a subreddit for fishermen who like to widen their approach and seek the little things in life. Whether you're fishing micro species or just baby fish, this is the subreddit for it all.

Welcome to r/MicroFishing

Micro-fishing is the pursuit of small commonly overlooked fish that are usually less than six inches in length. This type of fishing requires innovative and unusual angling tactics as many species rarely exceed two inches as adults. Understanding methods of micro-fishing opens the angler up to a wide variety of new species of fish often overlooked with conventional tackle.

With micro-fishing you can catch hundreds of fish most anglers are unaware of. Since the typical angler catches less than twenty species of fish over his lifetime the possibilities are tremendous.

The goal of this subreddit is to educate fishermen and the general public about micro-fishing. Currently, little information exists in the United States and Canada on this subject.

Can’t I.D. Syracuse NY

I accidentally caught this little thing the other day on the Seneca river inlet on Onondaga lake and I have no idea what it is. Any ideas? 3-4” long with a large flat head. Not a sucker or bottom feeder I don’t think based on the shape of its face. Thanks for the help

Grumpy micro bullhead (3.75”)

Caught him on beetle grubs that I dug up right at the creeks bank. Tough little SOB too, he bit my finger pretty hard when I dehooked him. Then proceeded to bark angrily afterwards, presumably cursing at me to hurry up with the photo. 😂

For those concerned, the fish jaw was not broken. I know this hold is questionable, it was only done for a quick photo
