Hey, is there any fellow micro-fishers on this forum? If so, tell me the species you've caught and what kind of bait/trap
That is exactly micro-fishing. I'm trying to catch some darters for my tank, but I don't know what set-up I should useWell, if you want to call it micro-fishing, I use my ultra light 2lb test to catch Log Perch.
When I think of micro fishing I think of using a setup as small as ice fishing or smaller but my ultra light is 6 foot. I usually chase IGFA records with the lightest line possible but also comes in handy for Log Perch. This year I hit up the fly fish dept and found some smaller hooks than I used before so that will make things easier.That is exactly micro-fishing.

Do yourself a favor and net them. I feel like you may end up having quite a few kill catches hooking darters...that's just judging from how mine eat, they inhale like catfish. I just went to my creek with an aquarium net and scooped mine out, they are easy to catch they always dart (some pun intended) for rock cover. net over the rock and scoop lol.That is exactly micro-fishing.

Yup, its tough to unhook the darters as they could die from rough handling and hook damage. I've lost logperch and larger darters that way.Do yourself a favor and net them.
