#335523 Microfishing IDs

Posted by DSmith on 23 August 2016 - 01:22 PM

It is really interesting, and actually quite challenging.  The biodiversity of some of our creeks is astonishing. I've managed to catch 16 different species of fish from one little hole of a local creek.

#334587 Microfishing IDs

Posted by DSmith on 29 July 2016 - 12:50 AM

Had a fun day of micro fishing in a local southern ontario creek.  Caught about 10 different species using really tiny hooks.  Caught the smallest fish I ever have caught. I realize some of these pics might not be good enough to ID.

 

Here's the album of some of them:  http://imgur.com/a/VQbQ1

 

I am hoping some of you can help me with IDs.

 

Lets start with the ones I am sure about:

 

1. Longnose Dace

 

2.LogPerch

 

3.River Chub (90% confidence on this one)

 

 

4.the next two pics I am not sure what it is.  As it turns out a lot of tiny fish really look alike!   The photo tank is 4 inches long.

 

5. the next two pics I am guessing it is a very tiny spotfin shiner due to the very faint spot on its dorsal fin.

 

6.A tiny female creek chub(?)  I thought maybe a blacknose dace when I was one site, but now looking at the pics, the mouth doesn't look right.  This is definitely the tiniest fish I have ever caught.

 

 

Any insights would be appreciated!

 

thanks
