What do you all suggest for fishing in a small stream, like creek size up to your knees at most, and with lil fishies that I can only identify as sunnies, suckers, and some other species which might be bass (figuring out what that one is my motivation)
I actually tried to use a net and just leave it laying down in the water with me dangling like a crane right over it waiting for curious fish to get in the right spot.
Gee its the most interesting thing, just watching fish investigate what this creature is in wading in the water with this black and shiny net
The longer you stay still the closer they get, but damn the second you make a movement they're out of site. Their so quick.
I don't want to cast net or trap, I want some elegance in it, so maybe an ultra light rod with the smallest hooks I got.
Also don't want to hurt the lil guys so I might de-barb the hooks.
At this point I'm considering line and hook only, maybe a stick even, basically no rod. I'm in love with these lil fellas.
