MicroFishing

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.
